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.

He is ignoring you, He told me that last night when he dropped by to ask me why don't I believe in Him.

Well, ya know, if He wasn't spending so much time answering NCLEX prayers then maybe He would have a little more time to spend on ME!

It's all about me!

Me!

Me!

Me!

Because I am a Special Snowflake!!!!:thankya:

I found a new one....'I've been reading online about nursing and it's perfect for me, but I'm not sure I'm going to like the vacation policies of an employer I don't yet know in a job I don't yet have for which I have to hold a license that I haven't yet qualified for and in fact, haven't even started school. But I want to be sure that I'll get the vacation package I want, when and if that day arrives'.

I think that wine is starting to look good.

You know, it seems like we've had a recent uptick in people coming to this site complaining about not being able to find jobs and is anyone else finding this to be true, because everyone has been telling them that nursing is recession proof.

I thought we had finished talking about that.

Also, some new LPNs wondering when how to apply for a job at a hospital and which department should they start out in, because they want to work in L&D (defiantly) and then why aren't they getting any call backs and is it true that hospitals are *fazing* out LPNs?

I've also noted an increase in bizarre postings about naughty nurse experiences. Must be the upgrade.

The one about the catheter insertion was hilarious. The nurse apparently went in to do the procedure with a bucket full of lube.

Ok, cool kid...I'm hoping you mean ladyBUG top, and you aren't really wearing images of Lady Bird Johnson on your chest!

LOL....

That one made me feel like I needed a shower. I mean, come on, the people who were responding to that post made me shake my head. Couldn't they see they were being played? My faith in humanity was restored when someone finally posted something like, "Uhm, could we have a moderator close this thread?"

Really, it was like reading soft Media. Not that I've ever actually read soft Media, but if I had, that's what it would have looked like. Oh...never mind.

Canadian/UK ladyBIRD is the American LadyBUG.

Having said that Mrs. Johnson on a scrub top would scare the patients.

But then Canada is home to the career changer who thinks they'll get the pick of the vacation schedule in a unionized environment.

Yes, I sprinkled mint sauce on the young nurse wannabe I tried hard not to eat.

'cause I have my very own circle of haterz over there.

Does the Fomite Scrub Company (or whatever it was called!) carry a First Lady's line of scrubwear?

The Jackie Kennedy pill-box nursing cap.

The Michelle Obama extra-wide neckline scrubs for a fat head.

Oh, I want little pictures of Hilary Clinton scattered all over my scrub top. Each little picture will have Hilary drawn with each of her bad hairdos.

And of, course, the Lady Bird Johnson scrubs... on sale for $10.99.

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!

Good grief...my head almost exploded reading your post, and I KNOW YOU'RE DOING IT ON PURPOSE! Some people remain alive only because their grammar and spelling make me shake so hard I can't pull the trigger.

ha! I had no idea! But really...isn't the thing really a lady BUG? I mean, just 'cause it has wings I wouldn't call it a bird. Language differences are fun :)

I read that one post, LITERALLY laughed out loud, and click "Back". But I have no doubt anyone saying "get real" would be told they were discouraging potential nurses from gracing us with their future presences.

omg, omg, these are great! I had fun coming up with a list of colors, but these STYLES are grand!

And it's the Fomite Factory Scrub Company, missy :)

I love the JK cap....I'd wear it with Lady Bird's top for a fair balance!

Variety of Hillary Clinton bad hairdo scrub tops, excellent choice to award for employee of the month, year, or nursing week. Have extra large sizes to give to the guys when hired, just for general principle. Fomites, fomites, everywhere!

Look like? AGH my eyes! I just got an incredibly clear visual.

And yeah, I was surprised that people were actually taking that seriously, and trying to console the OP about the experience.

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!
I found it while having an argument with my brother over spelling. Finally, I whipped out google and that was the very first website. I thought it was funny. Your posted reminded me of it. That's some dedication. Must really put a stick in her craw, eh? Yep...definitely. :D
