The Mockery of Nursing

Published

Just a bit ago the top three threads involved:

1.I have a DWI. Can I be a nurse?

2.I am stupid. Can I be a nurse?

3.If it takes me five times to pass NCLEX, Can I be nurse.

Not much left to add. Says it all.

Ya know they make an ointment for that oozing problem ;)

Aww. I want a cute ladybug fomite. Maybe along with the scrub line we can develop a toy line. Get your own stuffed fomite to hug and love and trade with your friends! (Fomite sharing...shudder)

I OWN a ladybird scrub top!!!!!

You should have been on my floor, when a bat flew out of the elevator and flew up and down the unit.

Good God, I'd have been running for the doors!

That made me remember something that happened when I was working in the ED. It was really warm, so someone opened the doors in the ambulance bay to give us some air. All of a sudden, a sparrow flew into the ED. (Of course. It had to fly into the ED, because there just wasn't enough sky out there. I don't think it had any insurance either.) I don't remember how we got the bird back outside, but he did leave.

True, Some days, I merely read the thread titles, and feel like weeping for the future.

No, you're just a bitter, washed-up nurse who hates students and resents their enthusiasm and freshness. Any disappointment you feel is on you, and actually, your posts are unnecessary.

How's that?

"When you're a GERM you're a germ all the way

From your FIRST pus-filled cyst

to your LAST dyin' day....."

OMG! This one is the best! You have no idea how much I love West Side Story.

And on that note:

"A fomite! I just kissed a germ on a fomite!

And suddenly my veins, are surging with unnamed disease."

When are we taking this show on the road?

One would think that wouldn't one????

However, after reading some of the posts over the last few years, carolladybelle, does it really suprise you?

How about "I past my NCLEX"

or the ever popular HIPPA.............................one would think that if you are referencing an act that has to do with one's chosen profession, ie the health care industry, one would learn the appropriate intials....not to mention just what that act actually entails.

Words that make me want to bang my head against the wall until I damage my frontal lobe:

"appauled"

"definately"

misuse of your/you're or their/they're/there, to/too/two or knew/new, etc.

"What kind of scrubs do you where"

Come on! Basic grammer (lol), people!

I kind of get a kick out of it when people use "defiantly" instead of "definitely." Makes me think of someone pouting with their hands on their hips and saying "I am defiantly going to study for my A&P test tonight." "I defiantly want to work in L&D when I graduate."

Well. OK, if you feel so strongly about it........
