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.

Soap? SOAP!?!?! So not even the product made to cleanse the fomites is safe from fomites??? Oh, the humanity!!!!

Reminds me of a "Friends" episode....Chandler was arguing that it was stupid to wash the soap, and Joey countered with "Ok, next time you're in the shower, I want you to think of the first thing YOU wash and the LAST thing *I* washed!"

Personally, I'm liking the image of the Fomite Soap Monster walking off the dish under its own power :D

In the Canadian side of this board we get bombarded three times a year with the "did I pass" threads. The whining, the whimpering, the "you old bats are mean for not supporting us!" goes on for at least six weeks. Then these avid poster disappear once their exam results arrive, only very rarely to return either for their second re-write or to start a "I failed three times now what do I do " thread.

Don't even start me on the poor written English that is barely understandable (how do they expect to communicate with their patients?) and the "it's not fair, I'm a USRN and a university graduate from (insert country of choice)". In most working Canadian nurses eyes you're only a USRN if you've actually held a paid nursing position and migrated from the US.

They are worse than clowns or mines, they are like leather jackets or leaches.

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

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

I looked them up and then had a dream about them. According to my nightmares they have multiple hands, backs, legs, heads, and other unidentifiable appendages.

And teeth. After reading all the fomite stuff on this thread, I'm certain they have sharp teeth. Sharp green teeth.

Uhm, if that spider was anywhere near the size of your little finger, I would have been screaming.When I worked in the ED, I had a spider drop down in front of my face. I started screaming. The doc came busting out of the on-call room, thinking that something horrible had happened. He was not amused when he found out it was all over spider, and he was even more unhappy when I told him I stomped on it. He said he would have taken it outside. Great, so it could hook up with another spider and make 10,000,000 baby spiders.
You should have been on my floor, when a bat flew out of the elevator and flew up and down the unit.

Craziest fomite I've ever seen had wings... for real.

Red wings...

With black dots...

Yes, it was a lady bug infestation...

On the peds floor, no less...

Right outside my child's room...

Cute little fomites, they were... thousands upon thousands of little, flying fomites.

Green, groady teeth with their own microfomites.

My fomite eats nursing students for breakfast. Yum yum yum!

And then it comes here and posts nasty remarks.

Was that of the crusty old variety?
