The Hunger Games and Nursing

Published

Game time! Post an example of why you know Nursing Practice today to be similar to The Hunger Games :)

I'll start: Some days you just have to survive, nothing more heroic than that!

C'mon....you know you want to...!

If someone in pumps, pearls, high hair and lots of makeup comes to your unit, and calls your name, you know that you are screwed.

This part is the BEST!

Can we wear scrubs? I'm not hot enough to wear Katniss inspired clothes.

I once worked with a new grad who wore the TIGHTEST and lowest-rise pants she could find, and I'm sure the shortest tops as well (when she reached for anything, you got a view of bellybutton). She made scrubs look like a Media outfit, LOL!

We have a newer nurse who dresses like this too. She has the body, but still, why does she feel the need to squeeze herself into clothes that fit like sausage casing in order to care for the terminally ill? Wasn't the whole point of scrubs that they're practical and easy to move around in? I find it sad that an educated woman doing valuable and noble work still feels the need to showcase her body meat-market style. :no:

I also worry about the integrity of her seams and the likelihood of wardrobe malfunction, which no one needs at work.

You were the one to volunteer to take someone else's rightful place (traded shifts) and now you're getting your @ss kicked.

Sometimes a manufactured monster you've never seen before (pt from EP lab) just shows up to thwart an otherwise perfect survival plan.

Just smear some goop (generic triple antibiotic ointment) on the wound and keep playing.

I can actually hear that clicking noise they make. (Quick, pull a curtain and look busy.)

On general principle alone, I do not approve of sexy nurses... They are just WAY too distracting! :bag:

Specializes in critical care.

I don't want to dress like Kat but I would like a cape and depending on the shift, I'd like to set my scrubs on fire.
