A while back someone on here (a non-nurse, I believe) posted a thread about a friend not being treated well in the hopital, pt's pain not being controlled, pt's basic needs not being met, etc. (I don't say 'etc.' to minimize what she said, I just do not want to rehash it all). In the end, she asked what had happened to basic nursing care?. Again, I don't want to relive that post and I don't need an answer to that.
My question here is about one of the reponses. A person (a nurse, I believe) posted that nursing care has gone downhill because hospitals are now requiring BSN nurses and there is not a place for ADN or diploma nurses. She went on to say something to the effect that basic nursing care has been replaced by "stupid" phrases such as "that having been said..." Again, I don't want this to become an ADN vs. BSN thread. I just want to know what is wrong with saying "that having been said..." or similar phrases. Why is this phrase "stupid?" I say this a lot...does this make me stupid?
Feel free to add your thoughts. Any other examples of "stupid" phrases? Why do you consider them stupid? (Please!!! resist any urge to blast BSNs or ADNs.) Thanks!
Well, "we used to do it like that" but "with that being said" I'd have to point out that "it is what it is", however, you need "to roll with the punches" and "pay attention to detail" or get caught up in the "he said, she said" stuff but I'd advise you to not be "vain" in your search for a "vein" of humor and "on the other hand" you may disregard my advice and "follow the beat of a different drum" but "having said that" I guess we can all "agree to disagree" huh?

I have a T-Shirt that says "All your base are belong to us" on the front and "Somebody set up us the bomb" on the back. I also have another shirt that says "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't."

You have just given me a brilliant idea for gifts....

I probably have about 15 T-Shirts with various things on them. My favorite one is probably. "Do you want to talk to the DOCTOR in charge, or the NURSE who actually knows what's going on?" The one that says "I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you" is probably my second favorite.
:nuke:
:yeah:
