Where's Waldo?

What's missing from this promo of a new show about work in a psychiatric hospital?... hmmmmm, that would be the skillful intelligent nurses who do that type of high stress work.

Nursing Narcolepsy

"The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it." George Carlin

BAIL OUT ON THE WAY!

Sure, as nurses, we know that increased stress can decrease health. That's why I'm asking all nurses to contribute as little as a dollar a day so Society Nurse Wall Street Maven can keep her House in the Hamptons. After all, we all know, her wealth will trickle down. So keep your hands open, some of that Wall Street Bail Out money may even trickle down to you. Brother, can you spare a dime?

Kunga checking into Mental Institution

I ran across this promo on You Tube entitled, 'Mr.& Ms. Nursing'. The punchline is at the end, but the first part is well worth watching. The contrast between the war footage and the nursing pageant is a beauty all its own to behold. Kunga had a sort of breakdown at the intensity of nursing navel gazing exemplified in this promo, and is now in a sanitorium recovering from the vapors of ill taste and small mindedness that characterize this Nursing filmette. The doctors are telling me that as a nurse, I don't need to pay an iota of attention to any issues grander than who wins Mr. or Ms. Nursing. Can I trust their advice?
Watch promo here.
The doctors put me in a straight jacket with a healthy shot of Haldol when I started raving about the number dead in Iraq rather than the Nursing Pageant winner.
BRING THE WARS BACK HOME, NOT THE NURSING PAGEANTS!

BECOME A CARDIAC MANIAC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Should Nurses become gun toting mamas? Knife wielding street fighters? Martial Arts Experts? Pitchfork carrying ranters? Flame throwers? Kungkare suggests arming yourself...but only in a non violent way.
