The C.R.A.P. Score

I only wish that I were kidding...

We had a thread a while back called "Rules for the ER" or something like that. Each of the rules was similar in nature to the OP's posting here. It lasted quite a while and then, oh my...there were threats of reporting every one to the BON, we were immoral, bad nurses, horrid humans, etc., etc.

It was rather funny to watch. What was funnier was the ER nurses kept posting new rules and the non-ER nurses who held the "moral fiber" of nursing together (and remember, fiber does make you poo), would go crazier and crazier with every post.

If it's still around, you should go read it. It sounds like you may just enjoy it!

This is really, really good.

I wonder how long it will be until someone comes on here and tells us that the patient’s pain is always real, no one would ever seek drug, and that we’re just burned out. Then, as punishment for even reading this from the OP (because we should have know just by the title, don’t you know!) we should immediately turn in our nursing licenses, be prepared to be struck down by God herself – Florence Nightingale, and be forever thrust into the wilderness (like EMS!) forever.

Ready to be shot with that lightening!

Thought this was hilarious, and quite applicable, and I'm not even an ER nurse! I guess my moral fiber is softening...

2 questions:

1. What on earth was he going to do for his "pain" when he got home?
2. Hmmm... did he have plans for that PICC line?
