This post is dedicated to all the patients that come in drunk
Dear College Drunk,
Yes every year about this time you come in intoxicated, nearly dead, and usually injured. Please realize you are new to drinking and you should pace yourself until you figure out your limit. Why you ask? Because if not you will die because your friends are too stupid to lay you on your side. It's called aspiration on your own vomit. Or how about out cold in the cold. Its called hypothermia. And last but not least a glass coffee table is not your friend when you decide to take a nose dive smack in the middle of it.
Sincerely,
Learn your limits dumbass
Dear Dead beat mom,
Make sure your kids are not home when you decided to come in by ambulance. Tripping and falling and cutting your face to pieces will automatically get you an ETOH level. Telling us that no one is home with your kids will also get you a call to the DSS.
Sincerely, your children are now in foster care
Dear Old man drunk,
No I do not want to climb in bed with you. Nor do I think you are sexy. Barf on your shirt, piss on your pants, the smell of alcohol on your breath and the fact you look like a hobo does not turn me on.
Sincerely, you are not sexy and I know it
Dear Mean Drunk,
Telling me you have no idea why your here and you just want to go home make me want to smack the shit out of you. You are the one that called 911. That is why you are here. Why do I have to constantly tell you to get back in bed before you rip out your IV? Hello do you want a bigger hole in your arm? Wonderful there is now a trail of blood down the hall way where you yank your line out. Aw darn you left the ER by eloping.
Sincerely, called the law they are picking you up and taking you in for drunk in public. Your welcome
Dear Sir you are not having a stroke,
Your alcohol level is 3 times the limit. Not sure why you have slurred speech? Are you kidding me? It's called being drunk dumb ass
Sincerely you sir are in major denial
Dear ETOH aka Drunk patient,
Your nurses love playing the game who can guess your alcohol level the closest.
Sincerely
Yea we have no life and apparently you don't either.

LOL I have missed these! :-)
Hi! I'm new to your blog, I can't even remember how I stumbled upon it, but I'm glad I did. I love it! So funny. I'm a nursing student right now, so I also love seeing other nurse's stories. Thanks for sharing!
Ugh, don't get me started on alcoholics. Another reason why I could never be a nurse.
By the way, that mother should be shot.
What is an ETOH for us non-nursey types lol?
\IiiI
Etoh = alcohol level in blood
Makes me glad I didn't go into nursing, the crapola you have to deal with ...
