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.

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.

Yep, you're right! Something attention-seeking, desiring a specific audience for the tale. I did think it weird on some of the word choices: "young respiratory therapist", and a nurse practitioner of all people to be on hand for a foley??

But you know what? I figure that person got some kind of enjoyment out of it, it answered some kind of need for acceptance or whatever....I can put up with that sort of thing easier than most of the crap that makes my hackles go up (and my posts get deleted, LOL!).

The only thing that was missing was a description of the nurse's "heaving breasts."

I am trying to find this amazing post by rnbeauty. There is a poster named rnbeauty but the last post was a couple of years ago. Was this a recent thread?

Yeah, I saw that and was going to say something, but I didn't want y'all to think I'm a perv.

I don't want to risk this thread being closed or posts being cut, so I can't tell you the complete username.....but this was a brand new person, with his/her FIRST post came out with that beaut. Went on to make a total of four, I think.

Anyway, that post is gone, part of the sani-flush of the thread. I'm telling you, if I had any idea it wasn't a joke, I'd have printed the thing.

I believe the preferred romantic hysterical fiction is " heaving bosom, filled with yearning". (Please insert picture of Fabio here)

Perhaps Fomite Scrubs should expand to the romantic novel world?
