The Mockery of Nursing

mazy · Apr 2, 2012

Ha ha. I think of the Amy Winehouse song... well, really it's just a description of the "bar fly" but we could change it to the demographic of nurses who fit her description... The title of the song can't be posted here probably (LOL) but we could change "pumps" to "crocs" LOL... Somebody here is a great lyricist and can make this about "those" nurses, I am sure!
...When you walk on the floor, dressed like a star, rockin your "---me crocs"....

Sigh. Amy Winehouse. I haz a sad now.

Hello.

In my younger days, I routinely sacrificed puppy dogs and goats in the name of the almighty... well, you know who.

Recently I have been considering going to nursing school... is this a good idea?

Yours,

I guess my confusion is that you've got some posters thanking God for helping them to pass the NCLEX the first time. And you have posters thanking God for helping them pass the NCLEX the third or forth time.
Does God prefer those posters that he helped pass the NCLEX the first time?

Yeah, I posted something along these lines a bunch of pages back. The whole "G'd will get me through if I believe enough" or something like that. I spend a fair amount of time in my synagogue, and I'm pretty sure that having faith doesn't mean that you will get whatever you want as long as you keep believing you can. Or in the Almighty.

Like I've said before, I do believe G'd answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is "No".

Absolutely. Just make sure your puppy sacrifices take place off hospital property, and on your own time. But feel free to share your beliefs with the elderly patients in your care...they LOVE that stuff

"I'm too sexy for my scrubs, too sexy for my scrubs, so sexy yeah...
I'm a Snowflake, you know what I mean,
And I do my little turn in the med room,
Yeah in the med room, in the med room yeah,
I shake my little fomites in the med room."
(To be honest, not just singing it in my head...singing it out loud as well...I'm fairly certain some of my co-workers are looking into how to involuntarily commit me to our psych unit.)

Oh. My. Goodness. I will be singing this the next time I'm at work ALL NIGHT LONG!!

Here's another:
Doctor so-and-so is so hot and he's been flirting with me. I think he wants me. He's married but I think he really appreciates me and I can't stop thinking about him. Should I go for it?
Why not, I think, because all the other nurses hate me because I wear custom-tailored scrubs and I'm... well, beautiful...
Should I pursue Doctor so-and-so?
Did I mention that he and I are both so much hotter than anybody else at work?

I'm hotter than you. I have hot flashes all day long!

as i was putting on a spritz of perfume last night before meeting some neighbours for earth hour (and drinks) i realized we haven't had a "how do i stay sexy when i can't wear my perfume" post in a while.
i probably should not have thought of that, because now we will see a post about how mean the hospitals are to not let our little special snowflakes wear perfume, scented products, etc while working in the hospital.

and the nails. let's not forget the nails!

ahem. . .let me just neatly step over that serious post ....
i can handle fleas, visible fomites, scabies, and lice. i wouldn't even mind if a gerbil jumped out of a guy's jacket but cockroaches ohhhh no no no no no thank god for my coworkers. we had rotating phobias, as luck would have it. we were able to pinch hit to a certain extent.
annnnd. . if we're going to use the word harpy (a great word btw) can we also use the word trollop? if we're going to fire up another "how do i keep my sexy on" thread i don't see how we can avoid it, really.

deftly done, stepping over that serious post. very good!

can't handle rodents, especially the flying kind. or snakes. had a guy come from the er with a snake in his pants. in the pocket, i mean. an actual reptile, not a trouser snake.

where i live it gets like really cold in the winter? so we have those electric plugs in the parking garage to keep our engines from freezing up?

my question is, if i see somebody have a heart attack in the garage, can i use those if there's no aed in the box?

wouldn't this be different in the summer, what would i do then?

pleeeeeeasse help, i have a test tomorrow.

darling, those plug ins are for the electric powered cars that all canadians drive.

true story. visiting australian thought we had lots of electric cars because of the plug ins in the parkade.

but sure i don't see why in a pinch you couldn't stick a patients fingers in the sockets!

Speaking of rodents, etc

There was teeny, tiny spider in one of the MARs folders that other night. I was the only one brave enough to kill it. Everyone else was standing a million miles away freaking out. It was smaller than the nail on my pinky finger!
