GUM! Can you chew it on shift?

Published

Heard a hospital banned gum... didn't say why. I think I'd have to quit a job that banned gum.

Well? Can you chew gum? Why not? Do you do it anyways? Does anyone care?

Was it the things you'd love to say to patients? I miss that one, lol.

Wasn't it called "the mockery of nursing"? Loved that one. Of course, it got locked....

I've learned that chewing gum acts as a filter so I say less inappropriate things. Wish we had something that filtered the fingers of these typing critics. Who knew gum was whore-ish? Chew away!

Obnoxious gum chewing drives me nuts, too. And although everyone insists that they "chew my gum so discreetly, no one even knows I have it", there are an awful lot of cud chewers where I work!

AMEN!

No, I was referring to your breath.

I blame you for this, crackling. Now pass the popcorn.
