Had to share...there are (were) 4 guys in my class of 30. We have already had 10 people drop out after they found out exactly how much was involved with class and clinicals.

If that wasn't bad enough, within an hour of starting rounds last night, we had this alpha male go squeamish. Now try to imagine the stereotypical stud muffin...perfect hair, chiseled face, probably works out like it's a religion, basically a babe magnet...ok so this guy is standing there bedside with this LOL, and she made quite the BM mess in her bed. There was a very nicely filled bedpan sitting on the bed, and this guy is standing there looking like he was going to hock up a spleen. :barf01:

He absolutely refused to touch said bedpan, and in fact decided right then and there to quit the program. I didn't even bother to hide my amusement, actually I rubbed it in as much as I could before he walked out the door. Ain't I a stinker?

I am pretty sure he was only in nursing school because he believed all the nurse Mediao. Ahh, one less moron, thank you nursing gods.

It was more of a "I already had much contempt for you but this is so hilarious I can't help but deride you for being the fake self-deluded insecure immature little boy you actually are" kind of laugh.

Kinda like bwuahahaha-snort-ha ha ha ha-deepbreath-HA HA HA HA HA-fingerpoint-I lol at you.

Sure, maybe I had some jealous wish-I-looked-like-that behind that laughter, but COME ON I doubt anybody wouldn't snort milk out their nose at that one!

That was the first time he realized that was part of the job? What a waste, but we're better off without him.

I shudder to think about all those prereqs he had to take. That wasted time and money, ya know?

I still have actual RN's that refuse to empty a bedpan or do other not so fun jobs. They even say they didn't go to nursing school to empty bedpans(or do vitals).

Glad he quit, we don't need any more like him.

I'm assuming this is semester one of nursing. It happens. It's the moment of truth the dreaded code brown. We had a few drop at this point to.

My first code brown I spent my lunch break asking, "Do I smell like poo? I swear I still smell it. Is it on me somewhere?"

I was paranoid for the next two weeks that I still smelled like poo. I have this feeling like the stink particles just nestle somewhere in your skin.

Took my older kid to the doctor today and there was a little girl, maybe five or so, who just yacked all over mom, the floor, the trashcan, the chair, and I had to laugh when my teenager said, "So um, when you're a nurse do you have to watch people puke?"
