Nurses Relations
Published Aug 18, 2014
The unit ran out of red Jello. The Nurse Manager knows it's my favorite flavor.

This brings up important questions:
Is it appropriate to allow ADN nurses to distribute red jello, or should that privilege be reserved for the better educated BSNs? Overuse of red jello indicates poor use of critical thinking skills.
Should we require a certain score on the TEAS before permitting a nurse to pass red jello?
If your preceptor will not allow you to pass the red jello, it because nurses eat their young? And also that they are jealous of the younger and more beautiful new nurses.
Male nurses are more skilled at jello passing, and thus , can get jobs and be promoted at jello passing much quicker. One of my male friends is already in management over the jello fruitcup department and he just graduated two years ago. Everyone says that it is because male nurses cause less drama.
Is it true that Magnet hospitals will require at least 80% of all jello served to be red?
Shouldn't we ban red jello and place it in Hazmat suits because Ebola might be hidden in it?
Really I need all these answers IMMEDIATELY!!! I have class tomorrow morning.

Yes, it was discussed at the secret meeting last Tuesday- OMG- Cat out of the bag. Scurries off- I didn't blab.......It was OCRN63 posting as me.
You know what happens to nursing narcs, don't you? I would look over my shoulder from now on if I were you. I've got a drawer full of hemostats and cathlons (14g) just begging to be used!

Which kind of TEAS are you talking about? Earl Gray? English Breakfast? Constant Comment? Orange Pekoe? Help a gal out, will ya? Maybe preceptors don't let newbies pass jello because after they've eaten their young, they have jello for dessert.
Hazmat is required because red jello looks like poo from Ebola.

Here's hoping that all of us, newbies or Crusty Old Bats, can retain a sense of humor. Life would not be much fun without one.

Omg and I thought green jello was the leading favorite. Goes well with envy when only senior nurses get first choice....
I can see a new entry in the course catalogue for Nursing University: Jello 101: Red or Green?
Perhaps an admissions essay on the perils of too much red or too little green Jello in one's hospital diet. Or, since it's pre-admission, perhaps "What Red Jell-o Means To Me" or "Why I Want to Become a Nurse (focus, please, on Specified Color of Jello).
Oy!
