Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

I woke up at 3 am one am sick as a dog....I had a massive stomach virus. I ended up calling out of work that am at about 10 am....I couldnt stay out of the BR....the whole time my hubby said I was faking it and that I was just trying to get out of going to work...now mind you....I never miss work. That was only the 3rd time in 4 years that I have been out. The other 2 times. I was in labor and I was in a car wreck when I was pregnant. Well..I was too sick to argue with him....so the next day...he gets up goes to work..and within 30 mins he's back home with the same virus that I had been up since 3 am with. My, how the tables turned. He thought he was going to die.

How many times have you heard someone say "oh, I didn't recognize you with your clothes on !"
That's a classic, though not usually from a S.O.

My favorite came actually from another nurse.
I was teaching CPR classes many years ago, when we used Annie's with a paper read out. It sort of looked like a large EKG tracing, and documented your compression depth, rate, volume of breaths, etc.
I had one student who, just couldn't get it right, and had rescheduled her for another try.

The night before, while at a local eatery, this female nurse/student stopped by my table (with my wife there, mind you) and said in a voice much louder than I suspect she meant to....said, "I've practiced, and can't wait to do a strip for you !!"

I'm pretty sure I heard a few cervical spines crack as many heads spun towards our table.

Nursing,,,,a different language indeed!!! Got 'ta luv it !!!
