1. Camming is way more fun than $120,000 in student loans for nursing school.
2. Smoking pot before a job interview is totally acceptable.
3. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.... (...that gives you renal failure, heart failure and cardiomegaly)
4. If you tell someone you need to get deer ticks off of testicles, you will have an audience.
5. Night shift. Glorious, glorious night shift. I haven't slept in days, but I got to actually do a good, thorough job changing a bandage and OMG.... I taught people actual STUFF. I miss night shift.
6. I keep forgetting I'm old enough now that doctors can and will be younger than me. It's okay, though, because I look younger than them.
7. Literally every person could end every post with "wait 24 hours before you do the PVT, and people will still brag about their good pop up and offer advice on how to pass.
8. People are actually able to spend $120,000 on nursing school. This girl said $20,000 per semester. I'm pretty sure she says BSN. I'm not sure if she realizes her math is off. But still.... It's crazy.
9. I'm nearing a breaking point on some personal life stuff and confess I've secretly been glad to escape it to go to work.
I learned that what I thought was an AN username of "WellThatsOdd" is not the actual username, thanks to the good folks in this thread that started calling said user "Ood."

Yeah, I finally realized it was Ood too. My mind wants it to be Odd so bad!
I guess that's why I always gravitate to corrections. I've never had to bite my tongue. I don't know what I would do if I actually HAD to be nice at work!
Wanna laugh?
I'm a HIGH SCHOOL nurse! With my mouth? Lookit the soap in my avatar. It's no lie.
I've never had any issues & loved all my jobs in corrections.
Married to a CO as well.
He wouldn't want me working there, but a patient is a patient. I think HE thinks that I don't see the same things he does, but honey, I've seen it all!(or 99.9% of it)

As long as the inmates treat me with respect, then I treat them with respect. But when they don't, I expect the C.O. to say something. If I'm with a bad C.O. & it has happened before, then I defend myself.
Specializes in Care Coordination, MDS, med-surg, Peds.
I had a patient with an inverted member. Maybe this will help... I made a peace sign with my fingers, placed them on either side of where his member should be, and pressed in, causing it to... uninvert? Revert? Exvert? Pop out like a whack a mole. Then I grabbed it and held on tight to keep it from inverting again while I inserted the cath.***************
THE VISUAL is TOO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
