Masturbating in front of me still didn't count as a bad day- at least they were conscious.

#9 my mom was a nurse for years. Never broke HIPPA but she'd always tell us when she added another doctor to the list. This is hilarious.

#4 My brother was an EMT and fire fighter. Dinners were... graphic. Now his daughter is an ER nurse so family gatherings are doubly awesome!

#2 That was one of the funniest exchanges to me in that show. Her delivery is so fucking good. And JD's response is perfect.

How do you know you've been a nurse too long? You've seen more penises than a prostitute. I'm celebrating 40 years as an RN June 12th.
liquidCrush
Congratulations!!! 18 yrs for me in July

Nurses are all fun as fuck keep up the good work ladies and gents

Love Keanu! Thank you

Drawing blood would be so much easier if the nurses BELIEVED me when I say they'll never find the vein in my right arm!
drunkwaffle
Mom's a nurse, true. But there should be a shout out to CNAs, nurses couldn't function without them.
liquidCrush
So true! Thank you to all the CNAs, unit clerks, housekeeping, security — we can’t do it without you
drunkwaffle
Seriously it's a whole ecosystem. Except doctors. Picks lol...well most.

LTC nurse here bridging from LPN to RN (less than 300 days left woops woop!). Spilled Mucomyst on my leg at 6am and someone vomited in 1/2
OhPotatoOne
My shoe. But I got alot of time to myself yesterday which was nice ...but it was d/t the smell.
AchillesWithHeelGuards
I will say there is plenty of cringy self over-appreciation in nursing. Not that these things aren't true though.
liquidCrush
I try to stay humble when I think that one careless error made can kill someone

As a man dating a nurse I lolled on the last one.

I have had a fair few dealings with the NHS, personal, family and work, Nurses are fekken awesome people!
DodgyMerchant
My work had a high welfare component When mum was rushed into hospital I had a helpful and flirty surprisingly chat with one of the nurses
DodgyMerchant
Towards the end, we realised she had been standing there holding a full bedpan The things you learn to filter out

Other people's horrified reactions killed what might have been a moment :-D

Nurses are the best!

Thanks man

Thank youuuu

Until you piss them off. Grandma was a nurse.

Thanks ^^

Thank you

Lol I still read "RN" as "real n*gga" like ludacris taught me. Yet another American acronym I have to google
fbutt09
Said Dr J. Sins.
seentoomuchdeath
Hmmm, tried to google that with no luck and tried to understand its meaning. No luck and I hate to ask.
fbutt09
That’s probably for the best.
IAnswerYesToDumbQuestions
Thank you

The primary job of a nurse is to keep doctors from killing you.
bearwithsharkarms
Remind me of sarges and LTs
stonedrunkdoctor
Lol let’s see how many people die if doctors took one day off.
MaximumHomerdrive
My mom was a nurse. I can definitely confirm the dismemberment/dinner thing.
SalmySwims
Watching surgery shows during dinner was normal for me. I'm guessing it was similar for you, too?
MaximumHomerdrive
No, my dad wouldn't go for that :)
TheInfiniteUnknown
Actually in a hospital right now with my oldest son and the nurses here are fantastic! Y'all are rock stars!
liquidCrush
Aww I hope he’s going to be ok
TheInfiniteUnknown
Getting discharged today! Thanks for your concern. And again, nurses rock!!

#2 Pressure 40/26, is that even real? Is that in mmHg? Or is it in yet another imaginary units, like deci-inches or some other crap?
Beardedgeek72
What's "mmHg"? Also milligrams are a real unit. It's the metric system. Try it sometime.
tiahx
Just for the special people, like yourself: http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=mmhg Also, I'm pretty sure pressure isn't measured in milligrams.
Beardedgeek72
"Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to letmegooglethat.com."
Beardedgeek72
Also, what "pressure"? Morphine is measured in milligrams.

Nursing shifts are usually 12+hrs- 3 or 4 days in a row with only 6hrs sleep each night (or day) you start to question your sanity
wastedpoptart
Where at? Ours are generally 8s or 10s. 12s used to be awesome. 3 shifts but paid for 40hrs
liquidCrush
I’m in NYC/Metro area. We do 3 12’s and then the 4th week of the month we do an extra (4th) shift to make up the time.
vauhtihirmu
Doesn't it endanger patient safety if the people treating them are about to collapse on the floor from exhaustion? (2/2)
Bignholy
Becoming anything medical in the US is expensive and difficult. Not enough workers + for-profit healthcare = Fuck a duck.
lilshebeastie
It does endanger people. Staying awake 24 straight hours is like being mid-range drunk. I can't speak to why.
Beardedgeek72
Lack of unions. That's the sole reason.
liquidCrush
It does and back in 2011 NY had to pass a law prohibiting mandatory OT for nurses.
LetThePurplePhoenixDie
If the resident does nothing else than order morphine for the 40/25 patient you might es well give it because he'll die anyway
Demmayyy
Not on my license
liquidCrush
Agreed! You can try to pull that sh*t on someone else’s shift

#1 clearly photoshopped. Shes not playing cards.

Unless you’re a tech or a CNA working on your pre-reqs for nursing school. Then it’s flash cards and notes for the next day’s test.

Twist a knob and the heart patients ekg switches to hi def and streams your gameplay to twitch.
Ariltongadottir
Why would we want to socialize? Are you new to nursing?
ender00000
A few years ago some politician accused nurses of mostly sitting around playing cards…
jcole01
The crazy part is, that politician is still alive.
kojenk
Was hoping to find this here. Just shows how fucking disconnected polticians are from reality
AkeltheOracle
Kinda unfair to discredit all of them due to a few fuckwits, it really depends on a country by country basis.
DarthLabradoodle
Politicians? No, its completely fair. Finding the non-fuckwit politician is, by far, the exception rather than the rule.
vwbruce
And they make rules based on their feelings instead of data. Scary stuff.
neoritter
You clearly didn't hear the whole quote, but this just shows how everyone gets their news from clickbait headlines.
CidColetti
Thanks. Facts always help a joke.
TheZommie
i've read a few articles of her saying it, she deserves the negative flak. in your opinion though, what made it a good idea to say that?
ChaosInherent
As long as it's not from fox
Slander7
I just looked it up. It sounds pretty asinine in context too.
Slander7
To her credit, she was pretty cool about admitting she was wrong and it was a dumb thing to say:
neoritter
She was also only referring to nurses at rural medical centers that didn't see many patients. The news made it out like she said ALL nurses.
