University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics 

The place where they care more about paying Ann Williamson over $250,000 a year, cutting retirement funding for their employees, making units work short staffed on a daily basis, and caring more about profit than safety of staff and patients. Then after asking staff to give back earned vacation time and cutting the retirement funding, they find a billing error totaling more than 15 MILLION dollars. But lets not be harsh because they do have the Iowa Cares program where anyone in the state that doesn't want to work like the rest of us, can come for free healthcare where they can have room service, treat the staff like shit, and get all the legal drugs they want on behalf of the taxpayers. Even better, they can complain about the color of the walls, the rooms being too small, having to share a room, parking is too expensive, they couldn't find a cheap hotel, and the hospital should be closer to where they live. I could go on and on but I think you get the idea!
University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics Staffing Department hard at work

Staffing: you need 2 RNs and 1NA so you are not short.

Unit: yes and if we get 2 more admissions, we will require 1 more RN or we will be short staffed.

Staffing: we probably won't have the NA but we will let you know.

Unit: okay let us know, we have x-number patients that require 2-3 people to turn, potty, etc.

1hr later:

Staffing: we can give you the RN's but couldn't get an NA.

unit: okay, what choice do we have

5 minutes later:
(pager going off)
5 admissions in 20min.

Unit calling staffing;

We just got 5 admissions, we need another nurse because now we are running short.

Staffing to Unit:

Sorry but we don't have anyone.

Surprsingly staffing and bedboard share the same office, but staffing had NO IDEA there were all these pending admissions from ETC????

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
