   Just realised that I am showing my age with these references but hey ho, it is what it is.

   Paperclip Cartoons

   GrumpyRN replied to Davey Do's topic in Artis

   I think they were some obscure band that was around when I was younger. I believe they visited my city in 1963 and 1964. Wonder what became of them? 🤣🤣😂😂 Just had a thought... Did they not have a small hit with a song called, "Papercli...

   Paperclip Cartoons

   GrumpyRN replied to Davey Do's topic in Artis

   My apologies if I came over as being rude, that was not my intent. I was trying (in my poor way) to be a bit funny and putting in a bit of silliness. I have some slight understanding of the amount of work and thought that goes into these things ...

   Paperclip Cartoons

   GrumpyRN replied to Davey Do's topic in Artis

   My first thought was that someone has too much time on their hands but they are actually quite brilliant. Keep up the good work Davey. PS I've noticed that you cant do a smiley/laughing reaction now, only an upvote. A few of th...

   Hi cessa, If you go to the list of topics in the UK forum you will see a whole load of similar questions to what you have asked. Some of the replies are comparatively recent and some of them have some good advice so you may find something to hel...

   If you could go back, start-over, change majors, what would you do and why?

   GrumpyRN replied to AlpacaTraveLlamaDNP's topic in Humor

   I've been retired for 7 years and I still have not grown up.😂🤣🤣😂 Originally I went into nursing because I needed a job and I had seen male nurses around (very rare in the early 1980's) and had done some work in hospitals so went in with the idea...

    Idea for a Medical Drama

    GrumpyRN replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in Artis

    Could visualise this as a film sideshowstarlet. With as you say a bit of a cliff-hanger at the end. Then a series could be made. Love the enema image. (The visual one from Davey and the mental one from the story). Who knows? Might see ...

    GrumpyRN replied to AlpacaTraveLlamaDNP's topic in Humor

    I agree Stars, looking back I think I got the best of the health service. Years ago when a complaint was made it went into the "Complaints Book" and really not very much happened unless it was something serious. Not long before I retired I recei...

    GrumpyRN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for that. I have never seen these. Doesn't mean they weren't used, just that I have never seen them - but then I did not work in general surgery. A quick internet search says that they may have been known as just plain "abdominal bin...

    Crusty Old Bats

    GrumpyRN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Just remembered this one, not me and I never did it. Soaking bread in Chlorpromazine (Largactil, Thorazine, Sonazine) and feeding it to the seagulls that flew around the hospital then watching them trying to take off and fly when they were compl...
