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.

MRSA and VRE as STDs!!!!!!!!

You forgot to add "Oh, My!" at the end ;)

Just scanned the thread so my apologies it it's a repeat but:1) I just missed passing by 3 points and they won't let me slide... how UNFAIR.2) I want to be a CRNA... how can I do that without having to actually do nursing?3) I'm not doing well in nursing school... I think more like a doctor... probably I'll just go to med school.4) It's harder to become a nurse than it is to become a doctor.[/quote']I know a girl who wants to be a CRNA. She says she doesn't want to wipe butts or work on the floor. It really baffles me. If you aren't willing to wipe some ass, you shouldn't go into nursing!And I know a guy who passed first term by one question...that doesn't settle well with me.

There's a difference between not wanting to do something and not being willing to do something. I don't particularly like wiping butts, and I didn't like working the floor. But it's not that I wasn't willing to do that, and do it whenever necessary.

Your friend who wants to be a CRNA might just be saying she doesn't want to be a floor nurse, period. Nothing wrong with that....but if she's unWILLING, that's a different story. Not everyone going into nursing wants to do the floor nursing/acute hospital gig.

I would like to expand the drinking game to include the word "fomite" or any derivative thereof, in addition to the aforementioned "mean." We seem to be saying fomite more now.

BTW, u r all a bunch of mean fomites :smokin:.

I would like to say my goodbyes now. Tonight at the grocery store, there was someone shopping with scrubs. I'm sure I caught something from the giant fomite and will be dead before the week is out...

Apparently, I said the word fomite about 5 times today! :cheers: Maybe, I should go get my keys and drive somewhere. I'm sure to get into nursing school that way!

The scary part is, there's always someone who graduated at the bottom of the class, someone who's borderline, and someone at the top. All three are working in the hospital near you....

I'd be happy enough with middle of the road. What scares me are the people who are so pathetically ignorant that I question their ability to take care of a healthy dog, let alone a sick patient.
