Well I have worked as a PCA for many many years (and I'm graduating nursing school soon) and around 70% of the nurses I work with help with baths and it makes everyone's lives a lot easier. You must not work in a place that values teamwork :)

General Nursing>Nursing Humor/Share jokes> (is what it says up top)

You are in a designated "make fun of" section (FYI)

Use the following template:

A Graduate Nurse _______________________________.

An experienced nurse _______________________________.

GOSH, where is the sense of humor, people??????? Love when people get all defensive on a Jokes thread, lmao! That in itself is humor :)

I'll bite:

A Graduate Nurse neatly presses their scrubs every morning.

An experienced nurse eyeballs their scrubs for wrinkles every morning.

(yes, corny ... but could not think of anything else right now :) )

A graduate Nurse still in training and need more skills

An experience Nurse been there done that

RNsRWe, ASN, RN · May 30, 2012

A Graduate Nurse wants everyone to know he/she's a nurse.

An Experienced Nurse doesn't want ANYONE to know he/she's a nurse.

A Graduate Nurse thinks people respect nurses.

An Experienced Nurse knows people blame all their problems on the nurse.

A graduate Nurse shows up an hour early to review their patient's charts before report

An experience Nurse can't be found at change of shift because they are running late as usual

A graduate nurse flicks every little air bubble out of the line.

An experienced nurse flushes the line.
