Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

[roser13]

Everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste? Well, of course not everyone, but a whole lot of folks on here do.

Shouldn't the word be co-signed? Or have I been wrong all these years? To me, consign is what you do with your used clothes in a consignment shop.

Well, I certainly work simply for the warm feeling it gives me in my heart to help people.

Matter of fact, that's how I stay warm in Winter. Because with no money, I can't pay my bills.

But that would be crass and gauche of me to expect remuneration, now wouldn't it?

I'm almost relieved no one does a Clinical rotation through Hospice. The overwhelming feeling of entitlement and the sheer arrogance of some of the students in here almost leaves me speechless.

Who in the world told them that floor nurses are responsible for teaching them? Back in the day, I was just glad when they didn't make too much more work for me. And I LIKED having students!

When people do clinicals on psych they're usually too terrified to act entitled. Of course, most of them think I'm a half-crazy half-a-nurse because our patients are all walkie talkies.* Ruh roh.

* except the catatonic patients, they're neither walkie nor talkie

This might be the longest run-on sentence I've ever read. It makes my brain hurt!

I worked in a group home and there was this really uncoordinated and uncommunicative staff member who I thought was a resident for the first month I worked there.

But the catatonic ones have so much less drama...

Ok, I definitely need a panti-liner after reading that lol.

I feel like AN should market the All Nurse Panty Liner.

Here's the copy for the commercial:

"Hey Nurses!" pan across different scrub-wearing individuals turning to their call.

"Yeah you! Ever cross your legs suddenly when a sneeze or cough catches you off guard?" actors nod

"Ever have an embarrassing moment during patient transfers and maneuvers?" other actors nod and look sheepish

"Have we got something for YOU!"

highlight images of poise-like pads with neon yellow allnurse banner across the packaging

"Now you can push that 300# person in bed with no worries!" scene of small but mighty nurse rolling using proper body mechanics, check her pants and smile, giving the thumbs up!

"Wow! All Nurse Panty Liners give me the confidence to work to my fullest!" shouts one nurse

"No more frequency issues for me!" says another while pointing to his chest.

"But what about me?" asks a Murse.

"Oh, we can't forget you, Mr. Nurse!" smile and ding! sparkle.

'For the stylish male nurse there is the kangaroo pouch pad so you can tuck it and roll on with your bad self."

available in a variety of colors, hypoallergenic, exclusions may apply.

Seriously, stop!! I just finished a 20 ounce Pepsi and if I laugh any harder, it's going to be real messy here!!

Is the kangaroo pouch pad ambidextrous so they can tuck left OR right??

Let's find na1 and ask him to insert a cath.

Let's find na1 and ask him to insert a cath.

Um, I wouldn't want him anywhere near me. And it's not because he's male.

[Jensmom7, BSN, RN]

Um, I wouldn't him anywhere near me. And it's not because he's male.

Preach!! 🙏🏽
