i <3 my job
While nursing is a very serious and caring profession, its funny as all get out. For instance:
We watched a video yesterday, which was live tapings of reports from rape victims so that we could see various reactions, the types of various victims, how a medical type rape report is done, etc. The first lady was middle aged and white looked like she was totally on crack. Anyways so she is yelling about how two men raped her. The white cop immediately says "describe the two black men that raped you" to her. She gets this look on her face like "wtf???" because she never said anything about then being black and yells that they were white. Sooo funny.
Then also in the video there was a 72 year old black woman being assessed by the nurse and she’s old and traumatized cuz she was raped right outside her nursing home. Her middle aged son is with her, and encourages her to speak. She mumbles a bit about forcing her to the ground. The nurse tries to get her to explain further by saying "Can you describe to me what they did to you?" and she just kinda mumbles they forced her to the ground, etc, but doesnt say what they did. Then all of the sudden her son pipes up and says "Momma, tell em what they did to ya. Did they put it in ya booty?" and she said yes. I just about lost it when he said that though.
Today I went to CADAS which is a center for those with substance abuse problems can go and get help. During the first meeting of the day, the group leader was lecturing about this and that and it was alright. Then he tries to say a sentence but gets stuck in the middle– "You cant let anybody…." and cant think of the word he wants to say while talking about letting other people control your actions. All of the sudden the guy sitting behind me fills in the pause with "Piss in your cheerios" very loudly and I laughed my head off.
There was a "nice" fellow who was an addict there who showed me where the bathroom was. The conversation went as follows:
Me: Could you show me where the nearest restroom is please?
Addict: Sure. Nice to meet you, I am Don, and I am a crack addict.
Me: Nice to meet you too Don, I am Emily and I am a…..a….nursing student.
Don the Crack Addict: Youre real pretty.
Me: Thanks. And thanks for showing me where the bathroom is.

You can make a ton of different slogans….
Mugs not drugs- my mom has about a bajillion coffee mugs. They all have famous Italian paintings on them.
Dougs not drugs-I don’t know anyone named Doug.
Jugs not drugs-not going there…
Rugs not drugs- you can roll stuff up in the rug and try to smoke it…i dunno
Uggs not drugs- Paris Hilton wears Uggs way too much and she’s skinny and looks like she’s on crack sometimes
Pugs not drugs- those squashy-faced doggies
I’m done…I’m way to tired and bored. Sorry I’m blathering on in your comments place but you are loved **HUGS** hey, at least I’m not on drugs. Drug free is the way to pee…otherwise you’ll loose your job because they detect marijuana in your urine…i’ve said too much…jk

I’ve never been complimented by a crack addict.
Although one time, (true story) I had a crack addict advise me on whether this laundry crap had bleach in it because I spilled it on my jeans and I asked her if it would stain them. She said that it wasn’t bleach, and lo and behold, my jeans were fine.
