Oh - and the next closest hospital is 2 hours away. In fact, the next town is 2 hours away. Across the barren land of desolation.
Now it's just you and Lucy for the next 20 minutes. JUST you and Lucy. 2 nurses alone in the world (can you hear the violins playing?). No admitting clerk to register them, no scribe to write what happens. EMS is out on a call 40 minutes from town. Your CNA is elbow deep in diarrhea and falling old people.
What do you do?
a. quit
b. pop some vicodin and go to sleep
c. throw out a few good fuck, shits, and damn its
d. grab Lucy, slap her across the face, and tell her "This is it! It's now or never!"
e. wonder why you ever applied to work at this damn facility anyway
f. curl up in the fetal position and cry like a baby
g. get to work
Ummm....... do I have to answer?

"Ummm....... do I have to answer?"
haha. Can I bring a good book and read while waiting? Rural ER is not a cool place, eh.
Enjoy,

I actually love the challenge of working in a rural ER. It keeps you on your toes and challenges your critical thinking skills when you don't have any resources to rely on.
Hilarious! I'm not really sure what I'd answer either. Perhaps there should be an all of the above option?
All of the Above works for me. LOL
