The Mockery of Nursing

[Old.Timer]

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.

Ummmm, perhaps you've never heard of a DREEEAAAMMMM????? She might not be smart, but she CARES and has COMPASSION which obviously you don't have. She'll NEVER be a mean nurse like you!! Don't you remember what it's like to be a student????

Off to be horror-fied...

That must be it. I. just. don't. care.

[OCNRN63, RN]

Oh, yeah, I have even seen "I am a pre-pre nursing student"......um, ok, does that mean you are still in high school?

Pretty soon these people are going to start posting in-utero. "I don't have distinguishable facial features, or even fingers, for that matter, but it's my DRRREEEAAAMMM to be a nurse! And, by the way, what's a "nurse"?

Why ru a dreeeaaammmmmm killer????

No one can kill your dreams except you. And fomites. They will kill it dead.

Oh my. Wandered over to the student forum for the first time (that whole "NCLEX horror" was too enticing to pass up), and promptly ran away shaking my head in disbelief. And fear.

Aw, don't run away so fast. I'm now the uber-b**ch because I "dare" to tell someone that no, I DON'T think she should keep trying, enough is enough. Was only a matter of time, right?

[RNsRWe, ASN, RN]

OK, guys, 'fess up: which one of you is the new Mystery Poster?? LOL....it was VERY good, even if there were those who didn't catch they were being joked. PM me with who you really are!

Ah, PS: you forgot to mention how if she tried hard enough, fairy dust and rainbows would certainly swarm around her....

[dirtyhippiegirl, BSN, RN]

Oh yeah "I need to GET MY YEAR IN" as if there's some kind of contract that once you have a year you should be all prepped up and ready for a long term career in an ICU (on days, of course - and no weekends.)

Nah, it's get the Two Years In ICU + add water = instant doctor without going to medical school, duh.

Actually, I can see this.

My alma mater has a nurse academy program geared towards high schoolers, which is a two-day summer program that is supposed to introduce them to the world of nursing. Unfortunately, this doesn't include having to change my morbidly obese, ventilated and heavily sedated burn patients who are on both lactulose and q4 enemas to prevent ileus.

I was reading a post by someone who has two years of experience and lists 5 specialties. Funny, in my day that was called "job hopping."

Crap...are you telling me that my reply to rnbeauty was a wasted effort at reality confrontation because that poster was writing tongue in cheek? I wish I would have read this whole thread before I replied, darn it.....

Oh well.

I was anxious to go see the horror, since I apparently missed the soft Media. That'll teach me to actually do wasteful stuff, like review for PALS, show up to work on time, etc.

Dammit, if I can work three nights in a row and then show up for initial PALS certification during the day for the next two days -- AND keep up for AN posts, so should you.

The soft Media thread was so totally un-exciting, no pun intended. There was lots of lube, a fumbling cath attempt, and an erection. Kind of like a cross between that ESL chick who thought she was being discriminated against and/or harassed and those old pervy dudes who call 911 and demand to know what the person answering is wearing.

Grade school. Still playing doctor with the kids next door.
