As nurses life and death is dealt with everyday. It can be a very stressful but rewarding job.
Today I thought it would be fun to dip into the humor side of being a nurse…
You Know Your a Nurse When:
Body fluids don’t bother you anymore
Your finger has gone places you never thought possible
You spend most of your week wondering what day it is
You can complete wound care and eat a sandwich at the same time
You have a poker face through trauma, but have a meltdown over losing your favourite pen
You’re worried your patient hasn’t peed in 8 hrs and realize you haven’t in 12 hrs
You believe there is a special place in hell for the inventor of call bells
Discussing body fluids at mealtime is normal to you
You think caffeine should be available in IV form
You check out the veins of everyone you meet
Your friends and family share their bodily functions with you including colour and texture
You rattle when you walk because your pockets full of scissors and clamps
You had a patient look you straight in the eye and tell you they don’t know how it got stuck there
You have seen more penises than a prostitute
You believe most patients just need some Vitamin A (Ativan)
You get more done by knowing someone in housekeeping than administration
It’s the end of your shift and have not once used the bathroom
You believe chocolate is a food group
You find humour in other peoples stupidity
You keep a straight face when a patient tells you they only had 2 beers
You believe the number one rule of nursing is “don’t get none on ya”
Hope you enjoyed this quick post. Please don’t forget to follow me.
Cheers
This was a fun post.
