I wouldnt call myself a comedian, but I eventually love to make little jokes. Is there some kind of rule that perhibits small jokes with patients?
Example: I just thought about this one today....
I'm male, so in many cases I assume that patients may think I'm a doctor instead of a nurse, so then I go into my patients room that I am assigned to by my clinical instructor and say... Hello Mr. Smith I'm Dr. Frankie your gynecologist LOL!!! Just kidding Im your nurse and Im here to give you a bed bath!!! (Im cracking up, just by writing this junk) THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, I DID NOT DO THIS.
So, the question is.... how would your clinical instructor take this? Is it OK? Or its absolutely not tolerated.
