The Mockery of Nursing

Nurses Relations

Published

Just a bit ago the top three threads involved:

1.I have a DWI. Can I be a nurse?

2.I am stupid. Can I be a nurse?

3.If it takes me five times to pass NCLEX, Can I be nurse.

Not much left to add. Says it all.

I have to admit I haven't gone looking yet for the catheter thread, too tied up in silly cheerleading ones, I guess! But that's over, so...what forum?

If I was a patient and wanted to get an opinion on my experience, I might post here at allnurses.

^Hon, I thought I told you to lay off the weed...a couple weeks ago. ;)

Old habits die hard..that's what I learn from the Nuns.

Again I am truly sorry for the above post. Blame The Sisters of Mercy...One too many hits to the head.

Thank you.. Is this the night of the full moon? It would explain a lot.

Ok, have read up on the proper and improper methods of inserting a foley catheter.

I don't think I would have caught on quickly that this was a creative writing assignment or a trial-run of a new Media novel. But I did think it was odd that there was an asterisk after every few sentences....? Anyone know what that was for?

Here's what tipped me off: no normal guy would ever, ever go to a nursing website and discuss a "negative" experience with being catheterized. And no normal guy would ever, ever be so graphic in his description of how and why it was negative. I didn't even see all of, ahem, "his" posts because I had my hands over my eyes most of the time.

Really, it reminded me of the online version of an obscene phone call.

Yep, you're right! Something attention-seeking, desiring a specific audience for the tale. I did think it weird on some of the word choices: "young respiratory therapist", and a nurse practitioner of all people to be on hand for a foley??

But you know what? I figure that person got some kind of enjoyment out of it, it answered some kind of need for acceptance or whatever....I can put up with that sort of thing easier than most of the crap that makes my hackles go up (and my posts get deleted, LOL!).

The only thing that was missing was a description of the nurse's "heaving breasts."

I am trying to find this amazing post by rnbeauty. There is a poster named rnbeauty but the last post was a couple of years ago. Was this a recent thread?
