What kind of shots do you nurses give around here

We have hand sanitizers that dispense, scattered all over the hospital.  They stink like a mixture of alcohol and old bar soap to me.  And if your a good nurse, you use them frequently.  
I had a cranky patient that wasn't happy that I told him he couldn't have 2 recliners in his room (for all his baby-mommas) ,due to fire codes as well as his safety.  I had just slathered on a glop of hand sanitizer before entering his room too. I proceeded to listen to his chest when he asked to speak to the nurse in charge. I went and got her and told her the situation, thinking he was going to gripe about the chairs.  He instead accused me of being drunk because I smelled like alcohol.  That earned me a pass to the lab where I enjoyed my drug test and passed.  I was no longer his nurse that night.  It sucks to be professional because sometimes you really need a drink at work.
