I'm grateful for you crusty old bats

Nowhere else is it permissible to crack up over a death. Nowhere else are gross things normal. Nowhere else can I vent about a ream of awful prima donna patients without being told I have no compassion.

Y'all know who you are. And thanks.

I admire the crusty old bats - my mom is a "crusty old bat" and I admire her for it.

My nursing instructor is a crusty old bat and expects me to become one overnight. I'm still a newbie and I haven't earned that title yet but someday, I hope I will.

The bad smells don't phase me, the overly anxious doctors who only want a patient's signature don't scare me... it's just those certain nurses that eat their young that freak me out. *sigh*

Sigh. This again? On what was supposed to be a fun thread?

But once again if you will notice who posted that.... a STUDENT nurse....or at least that's the tag....if she truely wants to become a "crusty old bat" she needs to lay off the eating their young line...!!!

But I thought it was we crusty, old bats who ate our young.

We need to own that and again, wear the badge with pride.

It's who we are and what we do.

You have to eat 'em before they can say it.

Good one Leslie...I guess that one got away!!! I had to laugh out loud at your post! Although, I was going to respond that as Vampire bats we don't eat our young-we just suck the blood out of them!!! Then throw the empty worthless carcasses to the side!!
