I never make dumb remarks, others just are not smart enough to understand what I have to say.

I was talking to a hospital aide about Chantix the other day, I can't remember how but we had related that conversation to our previous one about my goal of attending medical school in a few years. Co-worker asked me a question I didn't know the answer to, and I responded "I don't know, I'm not in medicine!" . He was ROTFL at that one, and I was reminded that most people don't see nursing as a separate entity...

Several years ago I worked at a hospital in a rough area of town. We often had drug deals going on in the parking lot, sometimes the "customers" were our patients. Our security officer was a petite woman who was well endowed. One day she saw something going down and was able to get the police there in time to make the arrest. When I saw her later on the unit I said "so I hear you had a big bust today!" You really can't recover from a statement like that.

I posted this in another thread but it's worth repeating....I answered the phone one night "XYZ unit, this is Tina." But Tina isn't MY name, it's the name of the nurse who was in there with me." Nice.


I've totally done that while working for an airline!!!

Finally the poor guy looks up at me and asks"Are you talking to me? My names John."

One of our MDAs instead of saying he's GOT the gas to do a quick EUA case said "I have gas." Needless to say we all took that statement and ran with it. Two days later that MDA received a bottle of Beano with a little red bow on top of it.

After my grandfather had his second above knee amputation he was feeling low so in an effort to make him feel better I tried cracking a few jokes. He started to laugh and feel better and we talked like we always had as I was growing up, as I was leaving I suggested that he doesn't chase the nurses around because we had some complaints. Somehow I forgot that he had no legs.... Not a crowd pleaser.
