The Last Mon Standing

I am now interning (my sked is from 2-10 PM) in this Private Hospital that cater mostly to pregnant (they do not allow interns in Delivery Room though) and children.

I’ve been there load of times and I have some significantly funny experiences there.

One time our Clinical Instructor told us that we may have our dinner. After I’ve put away my Nursing paraphernalia I thought of playing a prank on my female groupmates.

The guys are always the first ones to leave the hospital because we were not donned with caps and aprons that should only be worn inside the hospital. While the girls were busy fixing themselves, I hid on a corner of this corridor where they are coming from. I was vis-vis the Nursing station so the nurses there know that i was hiding to startle them. I cautiously pinned my self on the wall and waited for the girl’s shadows to show. I was a bit impatient but of course just like any prank, timing and patience are the perfect ingredients for success.

So I waited until i heard footstep coming. I watched closely the floor for their shadows and it was coming nearer. The nurses on the Nurse Station were observing me and were grinning. When I finally thought that the shadow was near enough I jumped in front of the person and yell to startle them. But to my horror, it was my Clinical instructor, and she was indeed startled. As she jumped backward, i immediately hugged her to my embarrrassasment and said i was so sorry. My classmates who were just exiting our area saw us and were laughng. The Nurses at the Nurse station was hysterical. And i was so ashamed. Thank goodness our CI is game and nice and just laughed at us and told me to have my dinner.
