Thank you, Joy Behar!

Nurses Humor

Published

If you caught The View yesterday, you saw Joy Behar ask of Miss Colorado (Miss America contestant) and nurse, "Why does she have a doctor's stethoscope around her neck?"

Our friends at Gomer Blog couldn't resist.

Littmann to Produce Separate Doctor and Nurse Stethoscopes Thanks to The View” | GomerBlog

I think I'll order one custom-made with assless chaps. :)

Fellow nurses.....please check with your BON because IT MAY NOT BE IN YOUR SCOPE OF PRACTICE to use a stethoscope

Only if it's a doctor's stethoscope.

Golly Geez! As a school nurse I don't even work with a doctor so how will I ever find me a stethoscope?? It's too bad because all these kids with asthma are just keeling over left and right and I have no freekin idea what to do!!

My stethoscope used to be a doctor's stethoscope, it was given to my by a family member that was a doctor (retired). I figure my stethoscope got a promotion now that it's used multiple times a day by a nurse!

All nurses should start asking a physician to borrow a steth every time they need one rather than vise versa ;)

They issued an "apology", if you can even call it that. They should have just said sorry and ended it at that. Instead, I think that they made it worse by trying to justify their statements.

I'm sure they know what they're doing by adding fuel to the fire.

Can we add outside links? Of their apology?

Their "apology" consisted of mostly complaining we are too sensitive and took everything out of context. Splashed with a little "you deserve a raise".

So they wanna blame *us* for not listening. Yep. Way to blame the victim.

Oh, so we have to LISTEN. WE have to PAY ATTENTION.

Basically, the remainder of the hosts jumped in to make asses of themselves. Good job, The View.

I was going to say that some lucky nurse was going to have the opportunity to give her her flu shot this year, but then I realized, she's probably anti-vax.
