Yeah, I didn't have much trouble with nurse-parents, and I had two... Both
my mom and my dad are nurses... I just couldn't pull anything, because they
could tell if I was faking a cough or such...
But it really rocks when you get cut up real bad, but they just take you
into the bathroom and patch you up with bandages they 'borrowed' from their
job... No need to go to the hospital...

Wow...sounds like she was behind HMOs...
My mom's been a nurse for 20 years, and she's always been pretty cool, even
when I was faking. Saying very little did pay off every now and then...

Jeez, you were upset about an episiotomy? I had an episotomy with the first
and the second one... the third pregnancy was a bloodbath in which they
sliced me open and yanked two little boys out of me... much worse than an
episotomy... I quit having kids after that. Rogue went and got a voluntary
vasectomy after having to watch something like that. During the second one,
they had to do a special procedure because she was late and breech and they
had to turn her around in my womb, and they had about 8 student doctors in
there to watch the procedure. When they asked me if it was okay to have
them watch, I said, "Sure, I'm all in favor of higher education.." Then I
proceeded to scream my head off. The episotomy was just insult to injury at
that point. Give me an episotomy any day, just never make me have to go
through labor again, or get sliced open to the womb with people pulling my
entire uterus out and playing with it before putting it back again.... ____________________

I hear you. My mom is also a nurse. She works Labor and Delivery, always on
the grave yard shift. She sent me to school once with a 101 temp. When I
got sent home later, she just looked at me and said, "Well at least you
tried." Her idea of birt control was to take me to see births, up close and
personal. After the one I saw with the episiotomy...oh man. Just...oh man.
We had to be missing a limb before we could get a band-aid. And she would
always try to turn it into an educational experience.
"Do you know what that bone is, sweeite?"
"Yeah...BROKEN!"
My older sister just finished up her nursing program. And for the cherry on
top, Dolo's mom is not only a nurse, but she used to work with my mom. It's
like this sphere of nurse that I can't escape. ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

Nurses ARE ruthless, try having one for a mom. They see the worst of it
all every day so when you're bawling because you did something dumb and
hurt yourself DON'T go to them for sympathy. We had the "three days" rule.
If you were sick, you got THREE DAYS of babying, and after that you were
on your own, no whining, crying, bitching, moaning NOTHING. The only time
she extended the three day rule for me was when I got a 2 week flu (and I
remember only a few days of those two weeks) and was comatose on the couch
for the entire time.
I even sprained my ankle and she didn't believe me. Tore every ligament,
swelled up like a football and turned purple, and ONLY then when she saw it
turning black did she admit she was wrong. ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Oh man, bettie, nurses are scary. They are the terrors of the hospital.
They are sadistic, mean people who feed of the fear they invoke when they
come into the room with needles and catheters. So you should do just fine.
Seriously though, I love nurses. I just happen to be surrounded by them. ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

Seeing as how the first post I quoted was a joke, my reply was also a
joke... not a great one, but nothing to be taken seriously, nonetheless. I
haven't read your column, but I will be certain to do so... there is still

Oh shit I KNOW it's insane! A friend of mine is going to school for
medical billing (VERY lucrative) and believe it or not folks, come january,
we'll have no more retail diva bettie....I'll be either bartending or
barista-ing and going to school....FOR NURSING. Yes, someday you'll all be
calling me nurse bettie. Wait, wasn't that a movie? It's either going to
be human nursing or animal nursing, but either way I'm OUT of retail.
Medical billing is a HUGE opportunity here, and dolo you were medic stuff
in the military, obviously that counts for something. We dont' make fun of
male nurses here in seattle like they do most places. At least not THAT
bad... ____________________ Trapped in time. Surrounded by evil. Low on gas. |

Dude...I feel your pain. I'm unemployed at the moment too, which blows
major monkey ass. Whatever jobs I have gotten recently have been entirely
under the table and sub legel at best. Worse...I'm moving up to Seattle
soon...
Look for your ever loving Dolo working in a seven eleven near
you...whee.
The west coast is sort of ridiculous when it comes to getting a
job...Hopefully medical field jobs will still be up an runnin' ugh.

See, in Washington, especially if I am willing to move closer to Seattle, I
can at least get a teaching job in a couple of years, especially if I am
willing to teach in an urban school. In California, they just laid off a
few thousand teachers, thank you, Davis. There is squat for a job market
down here. It sucks. ____________________ Okay, dazzle me. |

Yeah, military's my last resort... I'll get my college education for free,
so it ain't that bad, I guess... Still, I value my independence, so maybe
I'll just go home and be a beach bum. ____________________ Piggy's got the Conch! |
