Poor Nurse

Published

I came across this picture titled "poor nurse", thought I'd share it. Is there any truth in this picture? Does it represent a nurse at all?

Not at all. Well occasionally I carry a urnie specimen.

I have the split ends and no time for a haircut!

Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

I have not seen a nurse wearing a cap in my lifetime.

My legs are hairy because I have not shaved them this winter. My knee joints occasionally get creaky from prolonged standing. And yes, my eyes are sometimes reddened due to lack of sleep.

Funny

Hilarious, I can definitely relate to some of those issues. :-)

Specializes in Critical care.

Funny and very true.

Some of it. However, no job is worth it to me to let myself turn into that. I believe in taking care of myself first and foremost, so that I'm capable of being a good nurse, wife, mother and so on.

I did notice the socks and must say that I cannot stand loose socks that repeatedly falling down....drives me nuts! :wacky:

It's all accurate except the part about the hat and the shoes.

The only thing I don't buy about that picture is the blue pen. What nurse uses a pen with blue ink? :)

In the olden days of nursing, many nurses purportedly carried three pens at all times: one with black ink, one with blue ink and one with red ink. I do not know if this is accurate or not, but it is something I have heard. ;)
