Nurses Humor

Published

The other day another nurse and I are on the way out of the hospital in the parking garage. The smell of rotting eggs is suddenly hanging in the air. The other nurse says "Ewwww, what the heck smells like Mucomyst?!?"

LOL. Us nurses are changed forever the day we step into a facility.

Do you have any other "Only a nurse would say...." stories?

We had a flasher hanging out in the hospital parking lot, one of the nurses told him he better be careful waving that thing around or someone would stick a catheter in it.
