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.

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[/i]"Come on! Basic grammer (lol), people!

I have a pet peeve that I don't think I've seen mentioned. When people say "I'm going to get my RN" or "I'm studying for my RN" or "after I get my RN, I'm going to get my CRNA"......it isn't your RN, it's a designation/license. The possessive my sounds like it's owed or something.

Maybe it's just my goofy take on it, I don't know, but I really don't like that wording.

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........

That is a good one!

D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y is this your website? :D

Where in the world did you find that? I mean, I have "The Oatmeal" bookmarked on my Mac, but, DANG! That's some hardcore specificity!

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?
You forgot how jealous I am of the beauty. And how I tell them to dress like total bimbos when they go into home health, or to wear makeup when in psych, all so that psycho hose beasts are foaming at the mouth over their nubile young bodies.

Regarding the bat invasion, after flying ip and down the hall a few times and hitting a nurse at the med cart, it proceeded to fly into a pt room. The pt was postop, heavily medicated/on a PCA pump and the room was dark (nightshift). We called security. The call light goes off, and patient complains of hearing several bumps in the room.Security comes up, nets the bat (many bird adventures in the atriums led to acquisition of a net) and takes it outside to be released.

The next day the family visits said pt and reports that he is out of his right mind, because he tells him that there were policemen and orderlies running around his room with a net all night

Wait, does this mean I can't start my "I Have An Afro Can I Still Be A Nurse" thread? (I do have an afro in real life). What? How insensitive!! You people must be the "Nurses Who Eat Their Young."

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

​had that happen one time in the ccu. a 300 pound female security guard chased it down with a fire extinguisher, spraying it a little at a time. as she sprayed more, it would get heavier and less agile and started flying into stuff -- doorways, med carts and a patient's iv pole -- until it was finally frozen solid and hit the floor with an audible crack. you had to be there.

"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"

​don't forget the ever popular "loose" my license.
