Should I be a nurse: I am going to scream! How in the HE double hockey sticks are we supposed to know what is right for you?? I am sorry if I sound rude not my intent, but it just makes me wonder, do you have to have all your decisions made by another person if so you ARE going to have a hard time being a burse. I am a EMT and if I had to ask someone to do XYZ before I do what I know needs to be done, I would have a poor patient outcome. Sorry but this is getting old

As the admissions coordinator of the school you're applying to, as well as on the side, working as the hiring manager of the job you're applying to:

Yes, you're screwed.

A thousand kudos for this one!

And don't forget the mandatory "Now I know what people mean by Nurses Eat their Young" response anytime a new nurse is told that she is doing something wrong, needs to improve on something or needs to learn something.

LOL! Nurses do eat their young! Hahaha:lol2:

"My friend got a denial letter in the mail today because it said that she didn't take the SAT. I mean I know that it says on the website 52 times that you have to submit your SAT scores but she didn't REALLY think that she had to take the SAT. What do you think she should do to better her chances of getting in? I got accepted so I don't know what to tell her."

How about take the f'n SAT like the website said! And if she is incapable of reading the 52 times that the website said that it was required then maybe nursing just isn't her thing. And you got in so if she is such a good friend then why didn't you tell her that she had to take the SAT?!? You guys are meant for each other.

"Step right up to Super Sam's surplus sperm bank and tire change center! We guarantee that any particular vial has only been accidentally thawed no more than 2 times, and those stories about us using bull sperm are just nasty rumors by our competitors. However, if your child's born with horns, well, come on back and we'll give you a free t-shirt! We keep costs down by not doing all those expensive lab tests, we get our turkey basters wholesale, and don't use them more than twice. Come on down, and while we've got your vial in the microwave, we'll rotate the tires and change your oil. When you think of sperm, tires or oil, think of us, Super Sams!"

Have baster, will travel

I'm not asking for medical advice. I cut my finger off. What should I do? I know you can't give medical advice, I just want to know if anyone has any experience cutting their finger off and what did they do? Or what do you do for patients who have cut their finger off?

Take away their dentures

As an old nurse, I often ask myself that same question!!

"This seems to be a popular topic but could you give me advice on_____"....well, just what new advice (or advise) do you think we can give you that the other 2,000 responses on the other 1,000 similar threads (that you probably didn't even bother to use the search function on) that was already given?...not to mention, odds are that this very topic was posted about 2 weeks ago.......aaaccckkkkkkkk:eek:

Why are old nurses still allowed to work?

Because my t-shirt says, "Dinosaur Nurse: I keep doctors and inexperienced nurses from killing you" :-)

Your t-shirt? Sorry sweetie, you have many more years to work until you're a "dinosaur" nurse.
