Nurses the world over are a lot alike!

Now, that's funny!! Been there, felt that way a few times!!

I got a giggle out of it, we need to lighten up sometimes. I am an experienced nurse and was not insulted by this. I do know of burnt out nurses who fit that protocol!

In fact I think that happened when someone posted it before.

You just have to respect that what you get a chuckle out of isn't funny to everyone and don't feel bad about that.

You can't win. But don't worry, I'm sure a mod will be here soon to move it or lock it.

Will someone please tell me what LOL means!!! Thanks!

LOL="laughing out loud" (Not "little old lady," which is what I thought when I first got on the net.)

wow.

nevermind.

I can't believe the things that we find to argue about. Do we fight over everything? I opt to pick my battles wisely , fighting over a joke just is not worth the effort.

I am a new nurse I though it was really funny! Remember in clinicals when something comes up and nursing students flock them, poor pts would have 6 nursing students taking turns to remove stapples or stiches! Some pt are so nice and let us learn others run and hide!
