Nurses can talk about anything and everything at anytime. We forget that some of the things we talk about might make others turn green and gag. Splattering blood, thick, tenacious mucus, smelly body excretions ... these are topics that don't go well with the spaghetti the family's eating. Heck, nurses can eat with one hand and clean up vomit with the other. So, have you been asked to change the subject at the dinner table?
