Yes, this kind of thing can lead to trouble ranging from deterioration of workplace relationships to serious consequences for employment. I have also learned from experience that the general public does not often share in the humor that we do.
Having said that, there are a number of take-no-prisoners but gut-busting funny blogs out there written by folks of every medical stripe - nurses, physicians, pharmacists, EMS, etc. If you're contemplating this, give serious consideration to your pseudonym and what details you can alter to prevent identification.
And let us know your blog site. :)

needless to say, that's why it's called "nursing humor" only another nurse would be able to understand or relate if you will, to our sense of humor. having said that, i will reenforce what the previous poster stated, the general public at times don't seem to have or can't relate to our nursing humor at times. wishing you the best always....aloha~
