This was way back in the day when when we were learning about MI's in my CNA class. Once day, in lunch, as my friend and I were walking back to class, we were dicussing MI's and the meds associated with them. All of a sudden my friend says "Myocardial infraction." OMG!! it was soo hilarious. Now, I spent a good 5 minutes arguing with her that the word is "myocardial infarction", not myocardial infraction!" There is no math in a heart attack. so now, we've grown up and became CNA's and everytime we discuss MI's in LPN class, I always end up crackin' up.

From a woman who claimed she "went to nursing school" (later found out that she shadowed a nurse for 2 days when she was in high school):

"If her oxygen goes down are you going to pump her up with that Bamboo bag?"

okay. this doesn't exactly fit the description on the heading, but here it goes. A classmate of mine (we were at clinicals and taking care of our assigned pts) asked the nurse if her pt had voided. Nurse responded "oh no she hadn't vioded at all today." Now my classmate goes and tell our instructor that her pt hadn't vioded at all today. Instructor had told her to go back and ask the charge nurse again about the pt vioding because she found it strange the the pt hadn't vioded. Now when my classmate goes and asks the nurse again, she laughs and says " of course, she urinated. She's been urinating a lot today."

Turns out the nurse didn't know what "void" meant. We all just stood and had a good laugh... looks like somebody didn't go to nursing school.... hehehehe!... and you think you're a nurse when.... ???
