Reply to TIFU by telling this girl that I would give her my snapchat tomorrow by Cinnamoke

These comments are absolutely bizarre. Chances are, she was already planning to drop the class, and decided to ask you for your snap because she didn't want to lose touch and knew it was her last day. It's a shame, she definitely should have told you if that were the case, but it may have taken her a lot to muster up the courage to ask to begin with. It feels incredibly unlikely that she would have left over that, though.

Reply to TIFU by cleaning my car in the elementary school pickup line. by HirosProtagonist

Reminds me of when my buddy and his wife were at the hospital having a baby and they asked me to take their daughter to cross country practice. No big deal, dropped her off, hit up the local Walmart for breakfast and went back to wait, not thinking that this practice was at a local park until I got the dirtiest look from a lady walking past my car with her small child right when I cracked open a Monster. Thats when I realized I was an unshaven (murder hobo is the best description) man alone at a park cracking open a cold one with a bunch of little kids and high schoolers running around. Not exactly a good look, and ended up messaging a coworker going if I go radio silent the cops are probably talking to me lol

I hold the arrest pager at my hospital and don't worry... this happens on the daily (probably more than daily, tbh). Our hospital has these buttons in bathrooms labelled "Staff Assist" which are actually the arrest buttons... needless to say patients press them all the time to get the Nurses to help them in/out of the bathroom. They used to be wired to directly activate a code... nowadays they don't unless the code is backed by a phone call, but I swear some day they'll label the buttons in a less retarded manner.

I couldn't take it anymore in the season before covid happened and stopped watching it.

It jumped the shark waaaay long ago, and then continued to do so every other episode, but I won't post spoilers, you can subject yourself to it. It goes downhill once they start killing off main characters, which they fix by killing off more main characters in more ridiculous ways and then introducing new characters with some terrible backstory and tragedy and then they kill someone else off because none of the actors want to be on it anymore.

In a way the button you pressed in the situation was the best outcome given the directions.

Had the call nurse button been the incorrect button pressed I'm guessing precious seconds would have been lost.

Everything went fine from what I read.

ER nurse here- we all would have chuckled and immediately forgotten that it happened. Your future in Neuro is still bright! Mistakes like that happen to everyone and it doesn’t even register on the Richter scale, especially now. No harm, no foul

This happened to me once while I was working with an agency nurse. I asked her to pull the blue cord and instead she pushed the blue button. I Immediately started laughing, thinking she got it half right!! Luckily, at the time we had this little old lady who found out a great way to get lots of attention was to walk into patients rooms and press the code button so Instead of actually calling the code they called the floor to ask if she was up to her old tricks. No harm, no foul!
