Is This Bullying?

Published

The unit ran out of red Jello. The Nurse Manager knows it's my favorite flavor. :sneaky:

Specializes in MICU, SICU, CICU.

I was out of material.

Then a guy posted a jello conspiracy theory. Right here.

He believes that jello schools flunk people out to keep people re -enrolling and paying tuition and keep jello instructors employed and wages high for nurses due to lack of supply.

Kind of like believing the moon landing was fake and believing in bigfoot.

He thinks it's bullying.

I need some advice. I'm taking the composition of red jello as a class this fall. It's a requirement to get in the program. But I've failed it twice already and it is my dream to be a nurse. I just know I will be a good nurse even though I'm not really sure how red jello works. Do you think there is a program out there that will accept me if I fail composition of red jello again? Do you have any study tips for this class to help me pass?

Go for the iridescent jello like watermelon and lemon lime that will increase the amount of lumens you radiate thus increasing your brightness straight from the gut. Think ET and turn on your heart light.

Don't listen to the meanie naysayer. It's your dream. I wouldn't know you of I ran into you on the street but I know you will be an awesome nurse after all it's your ddddrrrreeeeaaaammm. B nice pppl dnt b h8rz.

Remember day glo Jello is where it's at or is it the genetically modified DayGlo gold fish. Either way turn on your heart light and the school will find you!!!

I don't really think that this could qualify as bullying. Let me tell you what REAL bullying looks like. That manager took the red jello to my floor. As my heritage is Cherokee, clearly this was intended as a racist act. She was attempting to use jello as a means of creating a racial slur. Besides, if you had better time management skills, you would have already figured out where the red jello was and had time to come and get it. This is really a nursing responsibility. Several millenia ago, when I started as a new nurse, I was aware of where MY preferred jello was at all times. What are they teaching in schools these days?!

i am actually researching this as part of a new study funded by NIH on the correlation between jello awareness and nursing competence. If you would like to participate, the risks are slight and include the minute possibilities of jello-deprivation rage, hypojelloemia, and humiliation in front of your peers when they recognize that you are incapable of locating jello.

In the interim, I would advise you to NOT report this to your State Board of Jello, as others have suggested. This is not a practice issue. This is also not appropriate for your hospital's jello mold committee. If you do decide to report, be sure to dial 1-800-NO-JELLO, as they are the only ones who can truly guarantee confidentiality.

Ok, first: Heather and Beachy, YES! lol....and AOx1, you really nailed the problem, called it out for what it is--not enough respect for the jello-locating skills nurses are SUPPOSED to have, but obviously there are many more inferior nurses out there than previously realized.

After all, WHO is ultimately responsible for that Jello? Not administration....it's OUR licenses that are on the line if Jello goes unaccounted for. Wise up, people.

I personally think Rainbow Dash is on a sugar high ALL the time, but that's just my take on it ;)

Lest anyone think irritation with certain posts, flaring attitudes and cranky responses DON'T go through cycles here on AN, I refer you to this thread: https://allnurses.com/nurse-colleague-patient/the-mockery-nursing-674000.html

As you will see---you can't post, sorry, it's also long-closed!--the very same topics and complaints rear their heads over and over.

And usually it results in some seriously funny, seriously strange threads!!!

That one went on for more than 1600 posts :cyclops:

Oh I remember and love that thread well!
