I still don't want to be a prisoner.

[shygirl]

So....Is this suppose to make prison life sound more attractive?

I think not!

[Love-A-Nurse]

I agree with badbird and shygirl.

[OBNURSEHEATHER]

I thought it was funny! I don't think it was trying to glamorize being a prisoner, I think it was a humorous comparison to the work environment we sometimes become prisoners to. A humorous analogy of sorts. I guess some people don't find that funny.

I'm confused. Do you want to set us all free, or do you want lock all of them up without bread and water?

your views don't fly with me.

[LPN & EMT-CT]

I'm having to agree wth OBNURSEHEATHER totally, and also that my FT nursing job is in a prison!!

[Lausana]

Funny! I should forward this to my cousin...he's most likely on his way back to the pen later this yr it'll make him feel at home

Why are some nurses so serious all the time? If you gals don't want to hear a joke stay out of nursing humor. I'm sure pt nurse didn't mean anything by it.

[mark_LD_RN]

loosen up it is a joke.

I found it pretty funny myself.
