Mmm....chocolate!

Nurses get a lot of chocolate! At least, they do in our hospital! Not a day goes by without a box of chocolates arriving from a grateful patient.....it's a wonder my arse isn't as wide as the state of NSW by now. Naturally I end up sitting closest to the box and everyone knows I have zero willpower when it comes to chocolate......

So when a big fruit basket arrived, we all thought it was such a lovely gift.....(and perhaps the patient's family who sent it thought the nurses were fat enough? Nah, they own the local fruit shop!) We naturally searched further and what did we find? Chocolates hidden at the back! Aaaaaahh..........

So to all the patients out there - yes we LOVE our chocolate! It's about the only gift we are actually allowed to accept :-) Although a nicely worded letter telling everyone what a wonderful nurse I am would go down well too ;-P

Now, for some comedic relief......

In our hospital, on a busy day, once a bed is stripped, it's left for the porter cleaner to remake. Imagine the sight of a big burly bloke, who has never made a bed before, trying to wrestle our tiny little sheets over a big air mattress........classic!
