““Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that can be counted counts.”

~Albert Einstein

As nursing students, we are tested to death! While I think they measure, to some extent, what we are learning, we don’t need to take 100 of them per semester. Where it really counts is delivering patient care. Granted, we have to understand the pathophysiology to understand the treatment, create a care plan, etc. It just seems like there is so much pressure placed upon us to be outstanding in the classroom when we all know that you don’t have to be a 4.0 student to be an outstanding nurse! Some of the smartest people in the program have either no personality or a shitty one.

This morning my Monkey asked me when the song Thriller was a hit. I told him I was not sure, but probably in the early 80’s. He then tells me that it is the 25th anniversary, he did the math, and it was in 1983.

A few moments later he says, “I found the video on VH1 and it said 1991. I knew that wasn’t true because he was still black.”

Uhm? I honestly did not know what to say. I was PC  and said, “Monkey, that wasn’t very nice.” On the inside, laughing so hard.

Those are my peeps here in J-town!  How can you not laugh at this?
