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.

"im getting all the right ones,, but i live in florida.. is it still valid here???.. im still very nourvous.. could there be a false positive.. i know im freaking out .. but this is a big deal.. please what else can i expect.. should i just keep checking it.. i only took it lke 3hrs ago.. is there a posibility that it can change???

lmk

:crying2:"

i decided not to respond. my head would explode. then i'd be in danger of freaking out. and that would be a big deal. wouldn't want anyone to get nourvous.

wait. is this a pregnancy test?

And yet another thread that I'm keeping my fingers away from. I swear, I just don't have the patience today.....apparently it's a new thing that the NM interviewing the new grad says "I don't tolerate nurses eating their young" and "I have fired several bullies". I say new, because I can't imagine a NM EVER firing a competent nurse because she didn't like how that nurse talked to another nurse? Sounds like total, flame-broiled BS to me. Want to hire a couple of warm bodies? Tell them EXACTLY what that newbie was told. It's gold.

I once worked for a NM that told me similar stories, all about how we have to create a warmer, more loving environment in which to "nurture" our newest employees. Too bad she was right there with the flame thrower PRN!

Ugh, I love the new grad in that thread that has a history of thinking she knows more than everyone else has already made plans for when she's a manager. Of course, it has nothing to do with her know-it-all attitude that she will experience "bullying" and "lateral violence" but instead it will be all because of all the biter nurses that don't understand how much smarter she is.

I am working on a reciepe book of "How to Eat Your Young".

I think it will be a big success.

I have receipes about roasting them, frying them, making casseroles, and of course, every nurses favourite - left overs that can be brought to work the next day and eaten on the go!

(receipe doesn't look right to me, but spell check seems to like it?? But I suspect I must be using spell check incorrectly as it accepted the Canadian spelling of favourite)( yes - I have spelling issues!)

Recipe is the correct spelling.

And don't forget stir-fry! Oh, and Egg Foo Young... get it? I'm so punny!

[Pepper The Cat, BSN, RN]

Thanks! Recipe is a word I can never spell!

Actually, it could be incorporated into one heck of a jello shot.

So, two versions, the second to be Diabetic Coma in a SHOTglass :)

Did not even notice that. Guess that is why I'll never get a job as a proof reader!

Was it your dreeeaammmmmmm for your post to be an even number?

[Wave Watcher]

Yes! And now it's an odd number.

[wooh, BSN, RN]

I'm so sorry, you should report your own post for bullying you by being an odd number. How hard is it for a post to just be an even number?

[Wave Watcher]

Really hard! You're taking up all the even numbered (is that even a word?) posts! Now I'm odd again. I'm never going to sleep!

I'm kicking my own @ss for even letting myself make this post on an odd number! (that's where the bullying comes in!)

Oh to be an even post again! :-)
