Winner of the creepiest nursing commercial ever....!

[RN2B123]

I'm sorry but this commercial made me laugh! "I was devastated to have to reuse my....catheter" LOL and apparently its a real company too...I found it online from a story on the winner of the creepiest commercial of 2010 contest...c'mon if I saw this on TV i would crack up (even as a nurse)!

edit: ok i totally don't agree with having to reuse catheters...infection risk!..its just the way its portrayed/acted thats funny

Holly strikes again!

We've discussed her here before, and this is actually the older commercial. She's in a new one that features a better hairdo.

And then there's THIS little gem...

Speaking of personal care products: In my opinion, the best EVER made:

Sadly, the other commercials are REAL.

Still, this is an old favorite. "Oops I Crapped my Pants holds a lot of dung!"

Before I became a nurse, I had a client who hated cathing herself. She taught herself how to do the Crede maneuver and was so good at it she was able to stop using catheters.

I'm with you, @nursel56 - that whooping cough commercial drives me nuts. The worst (national) nursing commercial I can recall is a horrible Johnson & Johnson nursing campaign commercial from a couple years ago that had the jingle: "You're a Nurse...You Make a Diiiference." It was incredibly schmaltzy and played on all the usual nursing tropes to the nth degree, so it drove me nuts.

They play it on Telemundo 24/7 too. There. Is. No. Escape. dundundun. . .the J and J commercial I never understood the purpose of. Was there a website you could go to for scholarships courtesy of Johnson and Johnson? Did it offer discounts to nurses on their products? I suppose it's nice to be appreciated and all, but. . .show me the green! We know you could spare a coin or two!
