Is This Bullying?

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

You poor thing. She is most certainly bullying you. Report her at once. Find someone to talk to so that you do not carry the scars of her bullying with you forever. (((Hugs)))

Root.Beer.Flavored..?!?

Urgh. Think I need me some JELL-O to curb the queasies.

​I think we may need to explain to new nurses that jello shooters does not mean that you administer jello IM or IVP.

Only if their relatives permit us to declare the pt dead. But since these days, everyone is alive until the family decides that they are dead, we may not have any dead to give away with jello.

What do we do if they're not dead yet? Do we give the almost-dead jello, too? We're going to run out of jello at this rate.

Ok, NOW we're on to something!!

I say we offer the family of the said dead person (yah, you KNOW who you are!!) free Jell-o for life (and that means UNTIL a death certificate is issued, NOT after) if they agree to recognize that their family member really did pass away last December. And none of that store-brand fake Jello, either. Just the 'designer' brand ;)

Given how they've jumped at the free giveaways, this one ought to carry some weight!

But what does Michael Kors jello taste like? I don't want to try it if it tastes like feet.

Wondering if anyone knows a protocol for haldol, Tylenol or Ativan jello shooters?

I had a great shift last week. Only worked with women. I swear, when I work with the men nurses, all they want to do is show off how much jello they can lift. They won't even clean up after themselves. There's jello everywhere!! Working with the men, I'm always afraid I'm going to loose my license!!!

Then they brag about how many pounds of jello they can bench press. After that, there's usually a half-hour of chest thumping, then they crush the empty jello cups in their hands with one squeeze, just to prove they're a bunch of manly men.

It comes from working in a teaching hospital, that relies heavily on research and evidence based practice. We get a very odd sense of humor.

And given that we are undergoing the annual July/August resident rotation, my old nerdy bat self is getting crustier. And I have major surgery due soon.

If I weren't stuck in this wheelchair, I'd come down there to feed you...wait for it...red jello. We could freak out your surgeon and put red jello in the JP drain(s). Can you see the surgeon's face when s/he opens the JP drain and gives it a squeeze?

Wait! Oh no! Green jello clashes with my brand new Littmann unicorn glitter stethoscope! There is no time to get a new one before school starts! Should I even try to become a nurse? What do you think?

You will be a horrible nurse! Anyone who thinks a glitter stethoscope is professional should not be allowed to be a nurse!

Hell no, you shouldn't even try. The Crusty Old Bats would eat you in no time. They like to eat their young, dontcha know. Especially the pretty ones, the ones that really are too pretty to be nurses and who make everyone around them jealous.

Don't even think about trying to become a nurse until you can find the perfect scrubs for your body type that also coordinate with your unicorn glitter stheoscope.
