For as long as I can remember, doctors have enjoyed free lunch during their hospital work day. For doctors, the action lies in the doctors lounge. Here's a little doctors lounge humor about food. But for nurses, their action lies in whatever they bring from home or how much money they cough up everyday to eat in the cafeteria.
Some hospital cafeterias have been slashing employee discounts in an effort to save money. Merry Christmas Night Nurse RN. Here's your jelly-of-the-month club gift certificate to say thank you for your hard work and dedication.
I have a better idea. Here's a trick I learned about the other day from one of my fine colleagues during his training days in the ICU. Order a food tray for every single ICU patient. It doesn't matter if they are unconscious and on a ventilator or not. Order a tray, with dessert, for every last one of them.
When you're hungry, just find the cart with all the food. Free food for all. If you're going to survive in the hospital, you have to know how to play the game. Just be careful of the hospital food trays. You might end up being a source of free food for the nurses and residents.
