Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for December 02, 2022

exactly like single men’s stuff – they never use it yet once they lose it life collapses

Of course. If we don’t chart it, it didn’t happen. Now, all charting I’ve seen is by computer, even in nursing homes. Well, the one I was in had portable computers for charting and for meds, just like the hospitals here (and in SF).

Aunty is a nurse??!! Lord, don’t let me get sick.

Aunty, I don’t care what the others here say —

“You’re the Cure for What Ails Me”

“I was a weakie, meekie lamb,

Now I can shoulder Boulder Dam,

Your smile never fails me, hi-ho, lady, knock on wood,

You’re the cure for what ails me, and you do me good!” …

How can a nurse possibly be down to her last pen? My wife has more pens in her purse than the average Office Depot.

Not true. My mom was a nurse and she freaked several times I hurt myself. She could talk about the grossest stuff over dinner with nary a flinch and could handle most trauma but hurt one of her little baby bears and …

I saw a funny meme once of a name tag that said “Hello, I’m Hey Nurse”

Does anybody BUT a nurse know the critical importance of a pen?

yep thats how it is

Don’t borrow a pen from the plumber. The plumber went through a lot of crap to get the pen.

It’s so true! In one place I worked we had a coworker who constantly stole pens. We even made a Christmas tree out of a Styrofoam triangle and pens for her. She STILL stole our pens!

Did you look inside that last surgery patient? ☺

Even with the ubiquitous tablets. You wear a pen on a string, or heavy chain, around your neck. MY PEN!

Funny she doesn’t look like Nurse Ratched.

I was an Admin Asst. My blue and black pens were always disappearing. I swapped my red ink for the blue/black ink. So my desk had “red pens” with blue/black ink inside. No one steals red pens so my pens were left alone.

I had heard that nurses will joke that they have seen more naked men than " paid professionals." Having spent years now in a hospital as a volunteer with a therapy dog, I can say they are not kidding. I have been flashed by men and women so many times I don’t even notice any more.

this is me. not a nurse tho, just a middle schooler.
