What Did You Said?

When someone tries to carry on a conversation with me after I have been at work all day

I’m just like

When I am out in my scrubs and someone asks if I am a nurse

When a patient is yelling at me because they have forgotten that I am a nurse and not a waitress, servant, or maid

I’m just like

When I try to educate my patients on eating well and exercising more

Tell patient he is NPO

Patient suddenly transforms into food ninja

Patient is sleeping

no acute distress noted so I’m just going to…

When somebody needs something STAT and I do not know where it is

and they’re all like

And then I just feel like

When I show up to work and all the chairs at the nurses station are taken by nursing students

When you cannot seem to get the wrinkles out of your draw sheet

You know you have thought about doing this at work before 10 am
