   Nurses have to put up with naughty words when the patient isn't responsible for saying them and to some extent even when they are, but we don't have to propogate the habit in our own behavior. Some people think dirty jokes are "adult" and funny; I ...

   servant2 replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Humor

   I realize that a nurse can't control what patients will do but if you can't keep the "funny" stories on this thread clean, that is to say without bad language, then I will close my connection to this thread. Just so you know where I stand.

   When I graduated from my nursing program, we were encouraged to attend a workshop that we had to pay for but it was definitely worth it. We were told what to expect from the exam site, what might be on the exam, given practice tests and a pep talk....
