1. And lastly, the ultimate “compliment”:”You are so good, you should have become a doctor!”

Comeback: “Honey, you couldn’t pay me to become a doctor!”

Runner up: “We all ordered out but forgot to ask you because you looked so busy!”

This one never warrants a comeback–just payback for next time! 😀

Amy Bozeman
Amy is many things: a blogger, a nurse, a wife, a mom, a childbirth educator. She started her journey towards a career in nursing when she got pregnant with her first child. After nursing school and studying "like she has never studied before" she entered the nursing profession eager to get her feet wet. The first years provided her with much exposure to sadness, joy and other complex human emotions. She feels that blogging is a wonderful outlet and a way for nurse bloggers to further build their community. Traditionally, midwives have handed down their skill set from midwife to apprentice midwife. She believes nurses have this same opportunity: to pass from nurse to new nurse the rich traditions of this profession.
