Bring back the Nuns

    FFS!!!! Seriously!!! If I hear one more thing about those Nurses - the great work they do, how kind and caring they are, how the whole world would fall apart if they weren't such angels...I swear I'll be first in line to chuck eggs when they strike.

    At least back in the 70s their primary role was to mop floors, make beds and wipe arses...no MRSA then.

    Just get on with it...Bring back the Nuns.

    Have you ever been in any kind of institution run by nuns?

    Ah yes the good old 1970s........Everything was great in the 70s :rolleyes:


    Why stop at the 1970s? Lets bring the HSE to the standards of the 1870s.


    I think if you look real hard you may find that nursing practices have changed in nearly 40 years.........Who needs chemotherapy?

    It should be bring back the nurses.

    The majority of hospitals employ cleaning contractors, lowest price gets the contract.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    It's nurses aids who do all the dirty work now. They get little to no praise and feck all pay to boot.

    I think we need to let the Brits take over again and give us the NHS.

    They fear God. Threaten some purgatory or some hard time in hell and theyll work.

    Those darned nurses have no fear!

    God'd smite them if they did.

    Trade unionism goes hand in hand with godless communism, can't be having that kind of thing. :pac:

    Ah yes....that's the problem...they THINK they're responsible for Chemotherapy, face transplants...and probably the miracle of life itself.

    It would be great if they could stop telling us how great they are and start killing some superbugs instead of polishing their halos.

    At least with the nuns, pride was a sin :eek:

    I do get sick of hearing the nurses complain, and having had family members in hospital over the past few years I can tell you some of them are uncaring fcukers and should be shot for the way they treat patients. Having said that for the most of them I understand where they are coming from, if I had to work for the HSE I would have gone postal on Jabba Hearny and Brendan Dumb long ago!

    Sorry pardon me I didnt realise it was nurses this month.

    March was the public and civil servants, April was teachers so I guess May is b1tch about the nurses.

    So true PP ALL nurses just sit around all day doing nothing. I hear most of them dont even like sick people.

    ...or perhaps he thinks theres a thing called 'Random Rectal Probe' day and it was his number that came up, rather than a nessecary medical procedure......

    No, thats aliens. Nurses are them ones that wear white and stand outside hospitals with signs saying 'More pay'

    And when was the last time a nun won the Nobel prize for medicine, eh? Most of the nuns I knew back in "good old days" were the most prideful, arrogant people I've ever met.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Methinks that plastic paddy is suffering from bad case of rose tinted specs.

    have to agree.

    If the nurses strike and Patrick gets sick hes off to visit the clergy to look after him...

    ...patrick the priests might give you a sponge bath you never forget.

    The truth is that plastic patrick has a thing for nuns uniforms. ;)

    I suppose you're right, the nurses do take way too much credit for everything that happens in the hospital. Especially considering it's actually the consultants who really do all the work.
    Ahhh the consultant - the hospitals true unsung heroes!!!

    Also - have you been smoking crack? 'cus I've been reading your last two posts and I'm inclined to think so...

    first, i have no association with the hospital. But i have seen the work they do first hand, and what they have to put up with in the likes of James' & Tallaght. The money they make is hard earned.

    Second, we're not on crack, just having the craic.

    Glad someone else spotted the pattern.

    If March was public servants, and April was teachers and now May is the nurses turn, when were the bankers covered?

    its the people down in the sewers that get covered in sh1t first.

    There's the Government telling us we all have to share the pain and Bertie is getting gifts of a seat for life at all the home football games. We're bailing out the banks and they are aggressively reposessing houses and cars without quarter, from hard working people down on their luck.

    And there are people giving nurses and civil servants grief.

    Yep, very Irish.

    Last time I was in hospital myself was when I'd fúcked my elbow and one of the nurses was a Filipino bloke and he was absolutely bang on.

    Then the radiographer's nurse was a bítch to me.

    Don't see the point in saying they're all lovely or horrible.

    Their pay's fairly high compared to nurses in other country so I'm not sure what they're moaning about though.
