The Mockery of Nursing

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.

Peep Surgery

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.

[color=#333333]"oh, head lice, oh, head lice,
[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.

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."

There's scabies in my armpit,

and in my underwear.

There's scabies on my clothing

and now you're in my chair!

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 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 :)
