Caffeine Is My Shepherd, On The Job Jokes, Employment Humor

Caffeine is my shepherd; With it besides me, I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures:
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz:
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I will fear no Equal (tm):
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of The Starbucks:

Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my
life: and I will dwell in the House of Mocha's forever.

An old man, Mr. Smith, resided in a nursing home.

One day he went into the nurses' station and informed Nurse Jones that his penis died.

Nurse Jones, realizing the Mr. Smith was old and forgetful decided to play along with him.

"It did? I'm sorry to hear that," she replied.

Two days later, Mr. Smith was walking down the halls at the nursing home with his penis hanging outside his pants.

Nurse Jones saw him and said, "Mr. Smith, I thought you told me your penis died?"

"It did," he replied. "Today is the viewing!"

Go For RN, Then Back For A BSN?

Had a student ask if for the purposes of money, experience, they should get an AAS RN, then go back for their BSN once they had worked for a bit. I think Nursing school is difficult enough, as is going back once you're out there working. Many plan to go back - for many it never happens. If you are looking for a BSN (then MSN, NP, CNS, CRNA, etc) ultimately, why go through basic nursing programs twice? Unless you're in a program that will guarantee (do check the fine print) that they accept all your associates degree credits and only need to take two years worth of additional courses, it might be worth it. I'd never knock a person for wanting to go further in school, think it is great that you want a BSN. Do think you should go straight for it. Why are you considering getting the RN AAS first and then going back? If money is an issue, work as a nursing assistant or unit secretary part time as you go through, it will give you money and benefits in most places. More often places are paying large portions of nursing tuition as well. Sincerely,

Andrew Lopez, RN
