Last week (or so) an AN user posted this game: http://www.miniclip.com/games/funky-nurse/en/. Today my 10 year old daughter was playing some type of spa game that reminded me of it. I told my daughter, "Oh, you like those types of games, you should try this nurse game. Less than 5 minutes into the game, she yells, "OH MY GOSH!!! THESE PATIENTS ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES!! IM DOING EVERYTHING IT SAYS TO DO AND NOTHING IS MAKING THEM HAPPY!"

:hhmth:

LoL! "Welcome to my world kiddie, that game has nothing on real life." LoL! :nurse:

Just wanted to share this with you guys because it put a smile on my face. ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY!!!

I just tried that game. Good thing I did it AFTER my PICU interview today instead of before! I might not have shown up!

I was the one who posted this, and yes, this game is frustrating as heck. Well, this is what I have to look forward to in one year I suppose.

I find it interesting that the first child comes in and "asks for a drip." At first I wondered what they heck they were asking about.

My 14 year-old son played it yesterday.

He was muttering to himself the whole time and said, "I know nurses do more than give drips and walk people around all day... but this game's annoying and that's all I'm doing!"

I asked him, "So... ya wanna be a nurse?"

"NO! You're crazy, Mom."

Made us both laugh.
