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.

Wow, this thread exploded (much like that one poster almost did) tonight ;)

I needed the laughs -- boyfriend has strep and keeps soaking the sheets when the fever breaks. Can't sleep a wink with all the tossing and turning. Now I can go back to bed and dream of fomites, lube, and Fabio's heaving bosom.... Oh crap, now I'll have nightmares for sure LOL! :uhoh21:

"When you're a GERM you're a germ all the way

From your FIRST pus-filled cyst

to your LAST dyin' day....."

Why oh why am I still reading this thread...

"A germ makes you squirm but it's not sentimental

And fomites are a nurses' best friend.

The flu makes you spew but it won't make you mental

Like the fomites on your ink pen's end...."

Sorry, it's late.

roflmao, and I have NO idea how this relates to the post you quoted! But I still find it quite funny (or should I say "quiet" or "quit"??--sorry, inside-joke-deleted-post-reference)

After a long week of dealing with worthless nursing students, my thought process was somewhere along the line of:

Nurses eat their young + horror + fomites = Silence of the Lambs

Honey, you don't need to dream of fomites...you're sleeping in them!

[color=#333333]small and white,

[color=#333333]clean and bright

[color=#333333]you look happy to meet me."

i have to tell you, the definitive, never-to-be-exceeded edelweiss parody is called "anal warts" by boyz 2 girlz. if you can get it, you'll love it. i'd attach a midi file if i could, but i don't know how to do that and it would probably be waaaaay out of tos. go find it yourself.:devil:

Scotch or wine...

wodka or rum and pepsi...

if we didn't drink we might not respond with unpleasant words to ignorant questions, we might just pull the trigger...

Old nurses are so MEAN they just don't understand what it takes to become a nurse today.

BTW, I work with a nurse who still wears whites and a cap...she is well respected in the hospital but the new nurses are afraid of her...LOL

Normally I'd be in bed about now, but I can sleep in a bit tomorrow. Will be spending the day making a bunch of foods that take a long time to prepare and cook for tomorrow night's seder, so I'm going to sleep in for awhile...after I get up, it's gonna be GO GO GO!

(but tonight, I'm sipping on my Bacardi and Pepsi, and enjoying the boards)

You, too. The local market (kosher) was a nightmare this afternoon.

Happy seder to you all; I'll be working through. Passover is my favorite holiday, I'm always bummed to miss it.

Oh wow! I just noticed -- got my first silver star. I'm really in it for realz now.

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!!!! :eek:

Beware of the bright yellow screen. This has absolutely nothing to do with nursing, but hey, we've gone off track before on this thread.

I love that site and have since it's inception (conception?).

It's as awesome as the original Hampster Dance.
