Can You Vomit Urine?

Ok...so....we are covering renal issues in med/surg right now. I just HAD to let you know a question that was asked by a student who will be graduating in ONE MONTH PEOPLE.
We were discussing what happens when there is renal calculi present and the patient gets hydronephrosis....wait for it...wait for it...."Dr. Instructor, I was just wondering if a patient will vomit up his urine like they do when they have a bowel obstruction and they vomit feces?" Yes, she IS graduating in ONE MONTH. Maybe.

Another overheard conversation at lunch....two soon to be graduate nursing students discussing ringworm. "Well I heard that once the medicine works, the parasite stays in your body forever and will eventually come back to the surface."

I am so confused!

Wow....I have been offered 2 jobs after I graduate in May and I am having such a hard time figuring out which job to choose....WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? I have weighed the pros and cons over and over again...talked to EVERYONE to get their opinion, and I am no closer to figuring it out. Unfortunately I have to choose by FRIDAY! OMG....what to do, what to do. School and clinicals have been CRAZY the past few weeks and the overwhelmingness of it all is wearing me down...I need some kind of boost to make it through the next month and a half...SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! Seriously. I just want calgon or something to take my ass away...I need a vacation and I don't even have a job yet.

Did you hear about the story of the NS who asked her male instructor if he wanted to feel her mastitis? Yeah. This was after learning about disorders of the ear. Can anyone say MASTOIDITIS? I have a permanent swelling behind my ear due to a nasty case of masoiditis a few years back and wanted to share...I thought maybe the students would be interested too. Stop laughing at me.

Is There One in Every Class???

Ok....We have this one student in our class who has either had EVERYDAMNONE of the diseases/conditions that we learn about OR knows someone who does. Our professor no sooner gets the name of the condition out and we see her hand in the air. Does she not hear the giggles? Now, I am an older student and I don't tend to participate in the giggling/funfest...BUT...I can see where everyone else is coming from. Funny....the day we went over STD's, her hand NEVER went up. We were all waiting.
