As a nurse, you probably feel like you repeat yourself ALL the time with every new patient who comes onto your unit. So just for fun (and to give you a little break from the monotony!), we asked our Facebook fans for the things you’ll never hear a nurse saying…get ready to laugh!

The truth is that there are some nurses that go above and beyond then just giving meds but the ones who work there, bum’s off are the aid that put in the hours, to get the job done…..so that the nurses, are able to make there med runs….I feel that as well should be spoken of, for the hard work they perform…Day in as day out…..The only, difference, n the two…..would be they have the authority to med, as well as call the Doctor’s…..for installation, on where and how they would handle and emergency…. without the CAN….. Certified assistant nurse things will be so much harder for the RN, LP……that being said let’s not take them for granted something to think about…..
