Husbands!

Do any of you married/in a relationship nurses ever have a problem with your SO expecting you to know everything, since you are a nurse? My husband will ask me a question, and if I say I don't know, look it up, he wants to know why DON'T I know, since I am a nurse? I can't know everything about everything.

Tell him to call his doctor...problem solved!

His question today was "why is addiction a disease?" Well iDK. I could look it up but I'm busy.

My DH thinks I know everything, or should. Not a big deal, though.

I wonder if one of the admins can take the unnecessary apostrophe out of your thread title. Otherwise you are going to get a lot of sassy comments asking "Husband's what?" ;)

Hahah. I give my husband one of 2 things depending on my mood - a smartass answer or I start a super technical science answer and he gives up. [emoji23]

When people ask me why their elbow hurts or what that weird rash is, I always answer that it's the hallmark sign of a brain tumor. Most of my family and friends have quit asking me to diagnose them. ;) Except DH. He wants a diagnosis and advice, but then he never takes the advice given. Nothing changes.

When my wife asks me "When will I be feeling better with X', my stock reply is 'two weeks'.

I tell my partner that if I don't know the answer it's because it's not an important ailment. She rarely agrees. Sometimes I tell her I'll know more after a physical exam. She seems to fall for that one a lot... ;)

This is embarrassing. I'm usually the one critiquing other people's grammar.

Thanks for pick me up. Funny answers.

Yes. Sigh. And every friend and family member too and coworkers!

I hear it frequently, "You're a nurse ..." And the questions begin.

My roommate did this a lot. He stopped when I told him I was going to start practicing all my skills on him for class. He still let me practice on him.
