Question: Have you ever had a bad day at work!?
Prelude to a delightless afternoon…
By C!.S!. Scotkin
You all know I’m a nurse,
here’s a little verse
on the hazards
we nurses face!.
I go from house to house,
trying not to grouse
about working
on a Sunday!.
Went to my last stop
sent me over the top
McDonald’s might
not be so bad!.
Love it when they send ya
to a patient with dementia!.
Forget to tell
to you that fact!.
Sweet old lady, ninety
took a swing so mighty
connected true,
she decked me!.
Little facial bruises
Nothing that oozes
No blood or
Any pain!.
We Nightingales sing,
put up with anything,
from doctors to
the TKO’s!

Don't forget to add ice to the affected area!.!.!.!.!.!.probably BEFORE you add the Drambuie is best!. Throw the frozen peas away - the Drambuie will make it better!. (with a Merlot chaser)
Patients eh!?
She might have been one
But at 90, had none
She heard:
"The hearse is here to take you away"
instead of:
"The Nurse is here to give you a weigh"
Just before she swung did she say!?:
"over my dead body", it should have been
a!.!.!.!.hmm!.!.giveaway!.
(I really am sorry to hear you got hit CS!. I hope you are ok today!.)
Chin up! (ouch, sorry bad suggestion)
PS ask for a re-match!.

I can relate to this!. I am a home health aide, and I have my share of stories!.
Although, I never got punched, I do understand!. God bless you for your patience, and for the good that you do!.
I rub something called nigella sativa, also known as black cumin on bruises, and they go away quick!. I am a little into homeopathic remedies; no expert, just know some remedies!.
Wishing you all the best! May you have a blessed week!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Whats that counter line!.!.!.something about a bear in the woods!
I have also been "clocked" by a patient!.!.!.more than once!.!.due to confusion, fear, pain!. Luckily I was never badly hurt and did get to see the humor in it!.!.!.but not until Much LATER!! Nice poem!
edit: I much prefer Merlot to Drambuie ;-)Www@QuestionHome@Com
I know you are a nurse,
And you wrote a little verse
All about the hazards that you face!.
You go from house to house,
And you try hard not to grouse,
Even though it's Sunday in this place!.
Loved your poetic report!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Cynthia, that was hilarious!. I hope that someday I have achieved the perspective that will allow me to see the humor in what I do, but I'm not there yet!. Usually, I'm laughing and crying at the same time!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
And this was BEFORE you came home to a house destroyed by George and Gracie!? When it rains!.!.!.!.
Great poem, by the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Really sorry you had such a bad experience - getting decked!. That wasn't the same day that the cats did their "I miss you" number - was it!? ?Www@QuestionHome@Com
At least you have make up to go with that attitude! Sadly, the lady probably forgot as soon as she swung! Www@QuestionHome@Com
Ah, but think of the stories you'll have to entrance your grandchildren!.
