I hate beeping noises. Especially microwaves that continue on with all four "I'm done" chimes even after you open the door. Yes, microwave! I know! Food's done, now shut up!
I was charge nurse the other day, and as I was checking the crash cart, I started hearing this steady buzzing noise. I tried to find the source, checking every piece of equipment I could find. I looked in the storage room, the nurses' stations, the day room TVs, the printers and fax machines, the elevators, everywhere. And I could not find the source of that stupid noise!
Finally, I gave up and had to get some work done. One of the other nurses came into the nurses' station and asked, "What's that buzzing noise?"
"I have no idea! It's driving me nuts! I've looked all over the unit, and I can't figure out where it's coming from."
"No, it's just in the nurses station...It sounds like a phone..."
I pulled out my hospital cell phone. The buzzing that had been annoying the daylights out of me for the past half hour was in my freaking pocket the whole time...
