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.

Uhm, if that spider was anywhere near the size of your little finger, I would have been screaming

It was smaller than the NAIL on my pinky finger.

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!

Oh, for crying out loud.

I'm the one who, everytime someone sees some sort of spider or insect on the unit and freaks out, is yelling "Where is it, I wanna see it! Cool!"

I just don't particularly like having them in my HOUSE.

Is it bad that I don't know/can't remember what a fomite is?

Well, it could be an indication of early onsite fomitis :-)

Gee thanks! Now it's in my head!!

So ever since I read Pepper the Cat's post a few pages ago last night at work, I've been singing this in my head:

"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.)

It will be OK if you ask God to help you out. Besides that, if anyone gives you a hard time it's just because they are jealous of you!

Or, you obviously hate them and your unnecessary posts are full of resentment.

My fomite can beat up your fomite with it's hands tied behind it's back!

Wait, do fomites have hands and backs?? :confused:

Welll....since a fomite is any inanimate object that is capable of carrying microbes....I'd say both 'hands' AND 'backs' are potentials!!
