The Mockery of Nursing

Nurses Relations

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.

What I would really like to know is why do you think you need to post the same thread three times, if you don't receive replies within an hour of posting the original?:confused:

I know!

I responded to a thread and when I returned to it, my post was gone...

But it really wasn't gone...

I was looking at the exact same question by the exact same OP in a different section.

I then realized they had posted in both student and general discussions.

I didn't care but I thought my post had been deleted or something before I figured it out!

That one I try to forgive as just forgetting where you posted this first time and thinking you had a computer hiccup. Well, I do TRY.... :saint:

And the third time it's posted, it was because the OP was now in a different time/space continuum?

My coworkers and manager hate me because I am good looking. I rock the scrubs look like NO ONE elz'z bidnizz.

Has this one been mentioned or I am once again a day late and 1 $$$ short?

Yup... been done already.

What about the "I want to be an NP but want an online only program. Can you help me find one in my area?"

I'm glad I was too lazy to get up and get the alcohol, or I'd be 2D2P (too drunk to post) by now. For those of you who aren't as lazy as I am, here ya go...you're all just being MEAN!

Nerd, that was pure eeeeeeeevil and I love it...nothing says loving like getting an assignment like that.

I'd totally watch Ruby Bee and Woof.

That Guy, did you notice that if you're bicycling from the Shire to Mordor it gives you a route from Washington near Tacoma to a clothing store named Mordor near LA?

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to add, aside from a quote from one of my favorite literary characters: "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity." Funnily enough, hubby is reading "Time Enough for Love" right now and just looked up and quoted it at me.

If any of you are ever in the neighborhood, let me know so I can take you out for some drinks...GrnTea and PurpleScrubs, that goes for you too.

it's almost mardi gras. the colors on the king cake are traditionally green, purple, and gold. suppose we just all go eat one of those and call it a night.

only if it's accompanied by mardi gras-appropriate amounts of etoh. and beignets with a bloody mary in the morning to kill the hangover.

ooh! just saw georgia is a choice on the fonts now. that is a font that i can get behind!!! we're like wrestlers. at one point, ruby bee and woof are tag team partners. then we're fighting each other over the font belt! (with grntea obviously in ruby vee's corner. why doesn't she post her comic sans in ruby red? i'm going with purple because for woof colors, i'd probably have to use brown like a dog turd.)

comic sans is going down!!!!!!

well, i guess i could post in ruby red, but last time i did that someone chastised me for my attention seeking behavior.

OK, actual scenario. I swear.

Working telemetry on Saturday. We had a PRN who was a psych nurse working with us. (DUH). So the monitor is spitting out strip, a red light is on, and the alarm is clanging. No monitor tech. We are each responsible for our own. PRN is standing in front of the monitor, collects the strip and says, "Y'all, what does asystole mean?"

Now, OK, she's a psych nurse, I'll give her that. Maybe she just had the flu the day they covered rhythms in nursing school. I'll give her that. But who has not watched television enough to know that a flat line IS NOT A GOOD THING.

Off we run the patient who is sitting there eating breakfast and has pulled off a lead or two.
