The Unofficial Nurses Handbook

Nurses Humor

Published

Specializes in ICU.

I found this old book in the storeroom (Hack Hack cough cough!!!) and have been rereading it. It was written by Nina Schroeder and Richard Mintzer published in 1986.

Some of the book is funny some is not and some is cringe worthy and reflective of the eighties.

I think we can do better so I am going to post some of the "lists" in the book and let you all come up with more and better updates.
