Life as an Intern

So, I got to relive the glory of intern year as the purple intern last night. I had forgotten the joys of holding the team pager. Best page of the night:

Me: Purple team returning a page
Nurse: Hi, we are missing the first page of the orders.
Me: Well, they are in the computer, just print out another copy
Nurse: I don't know how to do it.
Me: Well, they are in the computer and you need to find a way to print them out. I am not going to rewrite all the orders just so another copy will print out.
Nurse: Okay, I'll figure it out.

I never heard back so I hope she found the orders somewhere. Do the nurses know how to use Meditech?
