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.
