You know you are a nurse when discussing dismemberment over a gourmet meal seems perfectly normal. You know you are a nurse when you compliment a complete stranger on his veins. You know you are a nurse when you find yourself betting on someone's alcohol level. You know you are a nurse when you know that K-Y jelly is optional. Anonymous

A geriatric nurse was accustomed to helping her dementia patient find her purse many times in a shift. One particularly busy shift, the elderly patient was agitated. “Where’s my purse?” she demanded. “We’ll find it in few minutes,” the nurse responded. Moments later, the patient wandered into a peer’s room. “Never mind,” she said when she reappeared, “I found it.” The nurse glanced up to see her walking down the hall proudly carrying another patient’s Foley catheter bag.

A frazzled nurse reaches for her pen to take a physician’s phone order but pulls a rectal thermometer out of her pocket. “Oh no,” she exclaims, “Some butthole has my pen!”

An elderly patient was admitted to a geropsychiatric unit. During her assessment, the nurse noted that she was allergic to nuts and indicated this on her allergy band. During visiting hours, her son approached the nurse angrily, "What do you mean labeling my mother 'Nuts'"?

At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. 'Big breaths,'I instructed. 'Yes, they used to be,' replied the patient.

One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct . Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a 'massive internal fart.'

During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his nurse, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. 'Which one?' I asked. 'The patch, the nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours, and now I'm running out of places to put it!' I had him quickly undress, and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

I was caring for a woman and asked, 'So, how's your breakfast this morning?' 'It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste,' the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly, and the woman produced a foil packet labelled 'KY Jelly.'

So we were on a night shift middle of the night smoking break when another nurse came out with one of her patients. An older gentleman, he hadn't had a cigarette all day, and he soon looked lightheaded and dizzy. I told him to sit down next to me so he wouldn't fall and as he sat he exclaimed..."I can't sit too well...I had surgery in the wrong place!" ok so it's not a joke, it's real life, but it was very funny at the time...rectal polyps are the pits man!

you know you're a nurse if...you avoid "sick" looking people in the mall in fear that if they drop and you'll have to perform CPR on your day off.

My favorite medical humor... "Welcome to the psychiatric hotline. If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly. If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2. If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6. If you are paranoid, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call. If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press. If you are depressed, it doesn't matter which number you press. No one will answer. If you are delusional, please be aware that the thing you are holding on the side of your head is alive and about to bite your ear off. If you are ambivalent, please hang up and call back in a few minutes. If you are comatose, stuporous, or obtunded, press each number from 9 to 1 backwards, and then leave your name and number when you hear the beep. If you would like to speak to a physician, pleased be advised that your plan requires a second opinion and a 30 day waiting period before you can receive this service, which has been designated nonessential."

As a Medical Social Worker, we are often in the Emergency Room. One day, a schizophrenic came in to receive medication as she had not been taking it for her schizophrenia. The social worker asked her why she had been non-compliant, and she replied, "Because sometimes I feel like a nut, and sometimes I don't!"

I am a return customer here at Lydia's. My co workers always give me such positive comments on my "adorable" uniforms.

A woman enters the hospital to deliver her first child. Her nurse comes in and introduces herself. She asks the patient is she has any questions. The woman says she is worried about the pain. She wants an idea of what to expect. So the nurse replies, "Grab your upper lip and pull it out.." The patient complies and says "Like this?" The nurse says "a little more..." Again, the patient does as she is told. The nurse asks "Does that hurt?". The replies "A little bit." The nurse then replies, "Now stretch it over your head!!!!!"
