Relax!!! Give the guy some credit...do you think he would do this in a true clinical setting? I know from working in CCU that nurses, both male and female, can have a pretty crude sense-of-humor...and it's not limited to CCU (doc's, RT's etc. etc.). The thing is they deal with a lot of stuff i.e. death, feces, vomit, death, family members, did I mention death? If they didn't find some way to laugh, it would eat them alive. Okay, maybe they are a little crude sometimes, but sometimes "knock-knock" jokes just don't cut it. And by-the-way, I'm the class clown...but I know when to keep my mouth shut (To self: maybe this was one of those times).

I know exactly what you are experiencing. I spent more time laid off than working as a heavy equipment operator. Being a nurse tech will let you know right away whether or not nursing is the right field for ya. I have no idea where you are located, but the hospital I work at trains there own nurse techs. I currently work in the critical care department and I love it...I get to see some pretty cool stuff. This has really helped me in nursing school...the students in my class that have no experience in the health care field are as nervous as a beagle crapping a peach seed. I've been told a million times "nurse techs make the best nurses", so we'll see. Good luck and I wish the best for ya.
