Do all hospitals share commonnursealities

Specialties Ob/Gyn

From what I have been hearing from my girl's nurse friends this is my interpretation of how things go at work in general.

1. Nurses prefer a low patient load so they can catch minor problems early on to keep them from becoming major ones.

2. The duty of being in charge gets passed around like one hit skunkweed.

3. Instead of performing your orders like you are told, nurses want to constantly question what the others nurses work loads are.

4. Nurses form packs like wolves and devour whatever they can, even supervisors.

5. A supreme being said that a patient will do better with two nurses working 12 hr. shifts than three nurses working 8 hr. shifts. I would have to highly disagree with that.

6. Rainy days trigger labor.

7. Red heads bleed like stuck hogs.

8. Doctors want patients to push and nurses want them to labor down.

Sometimes I post things that are on the offensive edge for a couple reasons.

1. Increasing tension spurrs better discussion

2. It identifies the weak personalities that have a hard time coping with stress. In other words it shows a person's true colors.

The other stuff was merely country dumb humor. I suppose some can relate and some can't. Sorry didn't mean to offend, but if you don't stirr the hot bowl of chili it takes forever for the heat to come out.

Increasing tension does not spur better discussion, it just makes one look annoying. And as this is a professional BB, not your private entertainment center, saying outrageous things just to annoy people is more likely to get you ignored by those capable of truly "better discussion".

Nurses have plenty of tension and do not need it from nonessential sources.

And I am from the country, died in the cotton native Southern for generations. And I found nothing "country" humorous in it.

Nor do most of us come here for "hot chili discussions", we come to discuss legitimate issues in nursing.

You want to rile people up oer' ur idears, there are a lot places on the web, better t' do it than here.
