Subject: Nursing school teaches it as pus-like.

I am an LPN turned MT (did take classes).  In nursing school the very first thing we learned about charting, doing admission assessments, etc. was DO NOT use the word pussy.  In the medical profession it is not acceptable, even though doctors do dictate it.  Nurses are taught to use pus-like.  In addition to that and what the BOS says, as well as for the state of professionalism, I always use pus-like and have never had it corrected.
