Very minor interruptions. I guess I should include, going to the bathroom, answering the phone when it rings off the hook, being stopped by caring families, handing cups of water to those who are on my way in the hall, that haven't gotten water, no lunch, checking to make sure that the nurse actually for real documented no BM since the resident has been admitted, unlocking w/c's, standing up and stretching, going to the bathroom again, filling my cup either of coffee or ice, turning on music....all on my way to get more info to work the rap.
