GUM! Can you chew it on shift?

Nurses Professionalism

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?

I chew the Heck outta my gum. !

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....

AMEN!

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!

So why don't you have some now?

Didn't say anything inappropriate. Illiterate??

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!

If you don't use the quote feature you may be misunderstood.

No, I was referring to your breath.

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