Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

Just curious as to what you would say. Mine goes something like this: Nurses Relations Video Nurse Life

I notice you have the decency to get off the mother effing floor, stand up, pull up those ridiculous hip-hop pants, and look ashamed when the doctor (male) or any other male for that manner comes in the patient's room. What about me, you stupid bleep? You misogynistic cretin. Get your bleeping hands out of your pockets, that idiotic backwards baseball cap off your microcephalic head, and salute the nurse as she enters the room. And don't even think i want to hear any questions from the tatooed, multiple pierced (you even have piercings on your forskin don't you, you freak) shiftless, beavis and butthead-styled teenager standing before me. You aint no Maori warrier you know. You've got to be kidding me. You haven't done anything decent in the 20 years you've been alive to be allowed to even ask me a single question. I'm a NURSE, bat crap dummy. Show some respect, clean up your act, speak proper English, and keep your damn mouth shut. Better yet, i want you to say "I'm sorry, i'll leave now while you tend to my mom." Then get the hell out of dodge.

:yeah::lol2::yeah: My mom (a BSN) and I have wondered whether botany would be more our speed. :) Plants don't act bat"stuff" crazy. Usually.

Right on. I love plants, too. Used to want to start up a nursery business. Always on the lookout for interesting plants.

Yes, that is a septum ring hidden inside my nose. You think it's stupid and makes no sense? OK. So, your shooting heroin multiple times a day is an absolutely genius thing to do and makes perfect sense, right? Riiiight...

not making any value judgements here -- just curious. isn't that painful? and if it's inside your nose, what's the point?

i'm too middle-class, middle-aged and midwestern to understand that. but i'd like to.

And to all my older male patients who think is okay to make gross perverted comments... Pleaseeeee stop. It's uncomfortable and extremely inappropriate. Not to mention you're old enough to be my dad/grandfather and it's just flat out SICKENING. Thanks.

:D

Ditto

Your nurse is not going to be giving you a 'hand' with anything

Why is this the most common funny from your family and friends?

Your gender, culture or age does not give you permission to behave like that.

And BTW, you might spend your leisure time in strip clubs and looking at online Media .... so you had better switch it off when you come in here.

We don't think you are funny .. you are a chauvinistic arrogant pervo

If you the visitor appears to be of indeterminate or opposite gender due to deliberate choice of hair style, clothing and demeanour ..... then please don't get angry when the nurse gets it wrong.

Nurse : Hello, you must be the p'ts son

Visitor: *Angry* You are not very observant are you - I'm a girl

i'm guessing it's hidden for work dress code purposes and un-hidden when not at work. idk if it hurts or not though- some piercings are more painful than others.

Taling about piercings ...

20 something female, bil tatt cuffs with nipple piercings really worried about what the nurses would think about it when one had to do her EKG

Really no need to be so worried. Yes we are mainly middleaged and look more 'conservative' than you. But get a grip - it's no big deal for us to see your nipple piercings

thank you for not being judgmental and wanting to understand. :)

nope, it wasn't painful at all. just like hiddencatrn said, it was in my nose because i had to hide it for dress code purposes. i wear it flipped down when i'm on my own time. it's just one of the many piercings that i have.

My gf is Indian and used to wear a beautiful emerald, diamond shaped nose piercing. She got permission from management to wear it at work, and received many admiring comments. It is part of her culture to wear it. I like some piercings but don't like the all body pierced look - I think that is going a bit too far. I have cared for people in mental heatlh units obsessed with having their whole body pierced - it's just not normal. And it doesn't look nice.
