Caffeine & Crying in the Med Room — Nurse Sticker

Caffeine in one hand, crying in the other. Med room special.

The med room is the only place on this unit with a door that locks. You go in for a Pyxis pull. You pull the meds. You also, briefly, cry. You exit composed, scanning the meds, charting on the WOW cart like nothing happened. The cameras catch nothing because there are no cameras in the med room, allegedly. The Pyxis log will not reflect the 90 seconds you spent leaning on the counter. The patient gets the right meds. You get the next assignment.

What you're getting

• Size. 3" round, kiss-cut. Fits a badge reel, water bottle, charting tablet, or the back of your laptop. Big enough to be read across the nurses' station, small enough to fly under the manager's radar.
• Material. Weatherproof, sanitizer-survivable vinyl. Holds up to 12-hour shifts, full-arm bleach scrubs, and the occasional accidental sleeve-soak in a Code Brown.
• Print. Matte finish, no glare under fluorescent lighting. Reads clean from the foot of the bed and from across a nurses' station. Will not fade after the 47th sanitizer wipe.
• Adhesive. Repositionable for the first 24 hours. After that, it's committed. Like you, in year 7, telling everyone you're going to leave bedside but, somehow, picking up another double next weekend.

Send it to

For the nurse who has cried in every supply closet on the floor. For the new grad who is about to. For yourself, every time you walk into the med room and lock the door behind you.

Stick it on the badge. Let the right people know.

For nurses who have run a code, charted "patient resting comfortably" while the patient was, in fact, screaming, and considered — fleetingly, in a parking lot, post-shift — leaving and never coming back. Caffeine in one hand, crying in the other. Med room special. Built by nurses, tested on night shift.
