Aside from my everlasting lust and desire wholesome devotion for BabsRN, there are a couple of Nursing Thugz I read daily.
Monkeygirl of Musings of a Highly Trained Monkey is an ER nurse who spends her nights thwarting natural selection in an Emergency Department, and during daylight hours sleeps in an ornate coffin deep in the hospital catechombs. From her blog profile:
I have the attention span of a gnat and no tolerance for stupidity. Which means that working night shift in the ER is both a blessing and a curse.
Fear her, for she is powerful. And damned funny too.
Generic Nurse K of Crass Pollination is another of the Thugz keeping it real in the ER every day.
From her profile, she offers:
High-quality urban emergency nursing care, primary care, drug-seeker support services, physician handwriting interpretation, arrangement of rapid ambulance transfers to detox, bus tokens and cab vouchers, Stage 4 malignant cynicism, and concierge service. Free carwashes are available from 8-4:30 in ambulance bay #1.
As you can see, she’s witty, intelligent, and sometimes, downright merciless.
But in a good way, of course.
She frequently battles with the Speaker For All Nurses, a self-appointed arbiter of All Things Good In Healthcare. Stop by her blog and receive an object lesson in how to flay someone with a huge persecution complex and a holier-than-thou attitude. The way Nurse K steers this nutjob around with the enormous stick protruding from her ass is priceless.
<>The way Nurse K steers this nutjob around with the enormous stick protruding from her ass is priceless.<>Dear God, that produces a visual that will require alcohol to remove.I have been using the Blogger Variant of the Vulcan Mind Meld on you in an attempt to get my name placed on the “Blogs I Read Every Day” list for almost two weeks now.Now that I have finally succeeded, I am free to move on to other equally important things. Since I cured PMS three days ago, I really <>am<> free to tackle World Peace.
As long as I can do it at night.
It’s the “Stage 4″ in Nurse K’s malignant cynicism that makes it art.
Good Monday morning AD !Three of the best very good reads ! (besides you of course !)
I’d just like to point out that it’s not clear from whose ass the stick protrudes—mine or hers. The stick in question is not currently nor has it ever been up my ass.thanksNurse K’s PR manager
Hey AD, I’ve got another good medical blogger for you. Even better, she’s a FIREFIGHTER Paramedic.
Gotta get some great stories that way. She’s cute, she’s funny and she’s smart as hell – sounds like the perfect match for you…or at least your blog. She was also recently awarded the “Rockin’ Girl Blogger” award.
