Would you work a shift as an aide?

[AF_BOUND]

So I work pool at a hospital. I worked 8 hrs in the SICU and was floated to a stepdown unit and as I entered the floor the charge nurse told me that she assigned me as a tech. I told her that would not be acceptable. I was hired as a nurse and that is the role I would work.

She looked at me as if I had three heads. I again told her if she wanted to use me as a nurse I would be more than happy to help her out but I would never work as a nurse tech.

Eventually they found a staff nurse to fille the role and I took her assignment.

Has anyone ever refused to work as a tech? Any thoughts?

Oh HELL NOOOOO.

Don't bunch that awful movie in with being a male.

I can't think of one now, but I'm going to come back in a few minutes with an argument that quoting that movie means OP is female.

:crying2:I'm going to need lots of time to figure out how, but when I do.......................................

Eh. Forget it. Not worth the hassle.

I hate that movie.

Good grief... I wasn't bunching that movie in with being male. I was actually referring to quoting stupid funny movies as being more of a male thing. Yes, I know, I know... women quote funny movies too...

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

Whoops, just proved April RN's point!

Eh?

What movie was that?

LOL! The "quoting movie lines" thing does seem to be more of a male thing, at least from my experience. My hubby does it...... quite often.

Although, I'm seeing a lot of females quoting "The Hangover." Not as much as males, but still.

That is from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

I'm glad we all agree!

I don't think one day goes by where my husband or any male friend doesn't quote something from The Hangover, Tommy Boy, Wedding Crashers, Billy Madison... you KNOW the list goes on...

I didn't recognize it without the first sentence. lol. That's a great one. My husband just uses the first line though.......

"I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries."

I'm glad this thread got completely off track.

It's great to go from "suck it! lalalalalalalal" to "I fart in your general direction."
