Pull Your Head Out
Yeah, I passed the NCLEX. I am legit. I am surprised that I am not more excited. Actually I am more surprised at the whole anti-climatic aspect considering the feelings and emotions that I experienced through nursing school. I may address the stupidity of the NCLEX and how it DOES NOT test nursing knowledge but purely test taking skills. I think it’s just another bureaucratic sham crammed down our throats from nursing boards. Needless to say that was not what I am writing about today.
I wanted to rant about one of our own for those that are in our extended family. I was off to work the other a.m. and an ambulance passes on a call, lights blaring, obviously in a hurry to get to the hospital. Out in front is some stupid jackass in a Mini-Coop not yielding the right-of-way. Having had aspirations to be a firefighter in my previous life, I rode out with the fellas on a few occasions. I have more respect for those nuts that will run into a burning building because it obviously takes a level of courage (not insanity) many of us are unable to fathom.
At some point in their lack of common sense, said Mini-Coop decided to pull their dumb a$$ out of the way and let the ambulance pass. Interesting to see that Mini-dumb-a$$ pulls into the parking lot for the physicians at our hospital. I can see why said resident emerging from the Mini-Coop has garnered little respect among their peers and why the nurses that daily interact with them, have little to no respect either. And some doctors wonder why nurses call their intelligence into question.
