We have a small hammer someone bought at the dollar store that we use with the silent knight sleeves. Shhh don’t tell management.

I took my second hammer home with me every night. Unit manager stole the first one.

My mom looked though my work bag once and asked why there was a hammer. Apparently ‘I use it to help me with the patients’ was not the best answer.
