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.

[color=#333333]every morning you greet me

[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:

i will be searching for that song after work... i am thinking i might regret it, but i doubt i'll be able to stop myself now...

"I have head lice in the morning,

I have head lice every day,

I have head lice and I can't get RID of them!

Despite what you see,

I have lice all over me."

Doncha love being addressed as "fellow nurses" by a "pre" nursing student!

Did we ever decide what a pre-nursing student is?

Wait, answered my question. A small special snowflake

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.

Happy Pesach to you as well! And carolady, and everyone else I don't know is part of the tribe :)

Sorry you had to work; I've missed my share of holidays because of scheduling conflicts, but I have always tried my best to wrangle them off when I can, and often have been able (but, of course, not always). Years ago, the first time I realized I would have to work on Rosh Hashana AND Yom Kippur, I was in mild freakout mode and talked to my rabbi: what to do, what to do? He told me that caring for the sick was the mitzvah that trumped going to services and obeying any other mitzvot I might have had to do had I not been working...that my job, doing what I did, was a priority. Made me feel much better about having to work, whenever that happened.

Anyway, having a M-F gig now, no nights/weekends/major holidays makes it much easier. That, and I can nearly always arrange my schedule to accommodate needed time off.

And congrats on that pretty silver star :)

and on another side note: fabulous seder/dinner, good company, and I had the kitchen and dining room clean by 10:30! So now me, my fave recliner & laptop are enjoying some quiet time before bed :)

So....this special little snowflake would like to defend my pre-nursing student status. At my school, during pre-requisites my transcript says I'm a Healthcare Science Certificate student with a pre-associate degree nursing concentration. Hence, pre-nursing.

Not to mention the fact I'm special.

And a snowflake.

Because there's no one like me. Even The Scorpions said so in the 80's. (Too obscure?)

Back to the mockery.

Ohhhh! Ha. My children's nicknames are "Biscuits" and "Peep". :lol2: My daughter knows "Where's Peep?" Easier than when we ask where she is by her actual name!

"Where's Peep?"

(Toothy, drooly grin, points to her nose). 15 months old is so very fun.

I guess I'm technically in that same group as a "pre-nursing student", but I usually refer to myself as "a student". However, I don't get too bent about that. At least not as much as the snowflakes who took the 8-week "day spa/aromatherapy" course(s) and claim to "work in the medical field".

Ladylynn6: Not too obscure. Sometimes I run around yelling "Here I am! Rock you like a small tropical storm that causes a day of inconvenience for a number of sunbathers..."

Or something.

Yeah, just "love" it. Particularly when you get a lecture from them. The few times I start a thread about something, it's pretty much the people here who I want to hear from.

Is this supposed to go with the song "Stuck In the Middle" or the one that goes "Here I am. Rock you like a hurricane"? (Not too familiar with some of the 80s music.)

Found out one of coworkers that's in school for PNP actually had a lecture in one of her classes on creating posterboard presentations. Because apparently, someone at her school thinks that a peds NP will be doing lots of science fair projects? She said there was a section on the types of adhesive to use. The pros and cons of liquid glue vs glue sticks vs rubber cement.
