Points to ponder

Dear Newbie Wannabe BSN:

Yes, you really must study if you want to pass your nursing research test. Please, however, do not continue studying when your patients keep ringing the call light. Get up and answer it.

No, it is not okay to take a timed test that is way longer than your break time. Please kindly do this on your days off, since you have two to three each week with your compressed schedule.

Dear Slacker RN:

Not doing your work until the last minute when everyone is ready to go home is not fun, nor an emergency on my part. Don't expect me to jump in and help, especially when you've spent the night goofing off and working on origami with the Slug.

One of those famous slogans really is true: Your mother does not work here. Please clean up after yourself.

Sincerely not,

RehabRN
