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

Published

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. :cheeky:

Perhaps a screening process for AN membership as well. They'll be required to submit an introduction post, which well will review for approval to post.

Psst... might wanna fix that...

OMG.

Dearest AN members, I have come up with a fantastic money making idea. Nursing schools can hire AN to do initial application screenings. We can google sleuth and grammar check all the things, and make official recommendations.

I'd like to apply for this job.

I'd like to nominate myself for a position, as well. I'm not a nurse, but I'm a pretty darn good speller (when I'm not using my phone).

Yes!!!! You're full of brilliantness today. :)

I'm an idea man. Execution of ideas? Not so much. I'm way too lazy for that ****.

Sometimes I like my AN friends better than my IRL friends. I'm not sure most of them even know what a pannus is...

Plus I can hang out with you guys when I'm sick and hacking all over the place and no one cares. Although the fact that the sickness my womb nuggets brought home from school is similar to one Farawyn is fighting at school in NY makes me suspicious... :cautious:

*womb nuggets...

Depending on your illness, you could have gotten it from me.

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

When I was in nursing school, I couldn't wait for my psych rotation. Most of my classmates, on the other hand, just wanted to curl up in the fetal position till the rotation was over.

When it came to the OB rotation, most of my classmates couldn't wait for it. I was the one who wanted to curl up in the fetal position, which I thought was totally appropriate for obstetrics.

During my c-section, hubby asks, "What smells like cooking meat?"

I turned and looked at him without blinking and said, "You're wife's burning flesh."

Anesthesiologist laughed. We had a good time on the superior end of the drape that day.

Same here!

Loved Psych, but if I had to palpate one more fundus in OB I was gonna yark.

Some of us have to be crazy enough to do it. Cheers to good taste.

In school we were asked to fill out preference lists (which always ended up with what seemed like no one getting what they wanted, so maybe not the best idea) and mine always said:

1. Cardiac

2. Psych

3. Not peds

OTOH, I had classmates who started referring to themselves as peds nurses three months into the program (gag me with my stethoscope). Takes all kinds.

But I'd much rather have scared students on psych than entitled students anywhere else. Managing 20 psychotic patients is a skill people think is easy until you put them on a psych unit.
