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.

well, seeing as how it was a 5 or 6 dollar bottle I've had since Xmas, I didn't want to waste the reindeer on guests or anything.

Not like that stinkin' bottle of Freja (drink local) sitting in my fridge.

Wodka is too much for me (I am a pansy).... I only drink that when I'm jobless and looking for catheter volunteers.

I have to admit I haven't gone looking yet for the catheter thread, too tied up in silly cheerleading ones, I guess! But that's over, so...what forum?

SNL would never have made it if the general public had such a distaste for satire. If it offends you, there is a little arrow in the upper left hand corner of your computer screen that will take you back to the previous page. There is also an x in the upper right hand corner that will free you from the offending posts altogether.

OMG ur lyk SUCH a crusty old batt.... asuming that every1 has windows... I'm a NGRN (new grad nurse, duh) and I have a MAC! Cuz I'm so much more tecknoligickly ADV then u! So my buttins aren't in those places... GEEEZ just proves u shud walk a mile in my shooz 1st!!!!!!!!!

Nursing Collegues/Pt Relations.

Look for "need your opinion".

The minute I read it I though something was up. But then people started seriously responding so I just kept quiet.

Its more fun if you are drinking when you read it!

ooh! just saw georgia is a choice on the fonts now. that is a font that i can get behind!!! we're like wrestlers. at one point, ruby bee and woof are tag team partners. then we're fighting each other over the font belt! (with grntea obviously in ruby vee's corner. why doesn't she post her comic sans in ruby red? i'm going with purple because for woof colors, i'd probably have to use brown like a dog turd.)

comic sans is going down!!!!!!

oooo goodie!! georgia has been my fave for awhile, i'm joining you wooh!

WHERE is this "don't give up your dreams kiddo you're gonna make it to Broadway" post?!! I gotta see it! I just gotta! And then I'm gonna jazz hands everywhere I go at work- down halls, into patients rooms, into the bathroom...

PeepnBiscuits! Now I get it. For the longest time I thought you had the most bizarre screen name, because I was thinking Peep as in PEEP. I couldn't figure out what that had to do with biscuits. Now I get it. Duh.

If I was a patient and wanted to get an opinion on my experience, I might post here at allnurses.

^Hon, I thought I told you to lay off the weed...a couple weeks ago.

Old habits die hard..that's what I learn from the Nuns.

Again I am truly sorry for the above post. Blame The Sisters of Mercy...One too many hits to the head.

We can help your chicken. I'll get the bovie out and fry him right up.

Thank you.. Is this the night of the full moon? It would explain a lot.

Ok, have read up on the proper and improper methods of inserting a foley catheter.

I don't think I would have caught on quickly that this was a creative writing assignment or a trial-run of a new Media novel. But I did think it was odd that there was an asterisk after every few sentences....? Anyone know what that was for?

Here's what tipped me off: no normal guy would ever, ever go to a nursing website and discuss a "negative" experience with being catheterized. And no normal guy would ever, ever be so graphic in his description of how and why it was negative. I didn't even see all of, ahem, "his" posts because I had my hands over my eyes most of the time.

Really, it reminded me of the online version of an obscene phone call.

omg!!! i had this sudden thought flash across my mind---i just know there is some creepy, poorly shot Mediao flick out there that starts off like that post did....all the lube, and all the people (all women?) wandering in and having a go.....yikes!!! talk about fomites!!!!
