I guess it's a good thing we have housekeeping staff 24/7... I don't know where I would find the time to being mopping up all the spills, blood and pee or plunging all the "you know what"! I think syringes, stethoscopes, BP cuffs, bedpans, and even calculators are more frequently used nursing tools. BUT... that being said I guess I should chill out 'cause it is only a cartoon hey? haha

I liked most of them except for the "what I actually do". I would have preferred the picture next to it. A cartoon of a nurse who appears to not know what she is doing, holding a bedpan, toilet paper, mop, and serving tray with food? Makes us look like we serve food, mop floors, and clean poop. I think people should see the side of nurses shown in the picture next to it. What we REALLY do for our patients. We are educated professionals, not housekeepers/maids.
