10 things only a nurse would say

6. Hunting through the junk drawer in the kitchen: “Honey, have you seen my needle drivers?”

7. Before leaving for a destination 10 minutes away: “We only have an hour and 45 minutes to get there! Don’t want to be late!”

8. As an explanation for the look on his or her face: “Isolation. Eight hundred pounds. C-diff.”

9. Surveying the leftovers on the break room table: “It’s only 16 hours old. I’m sure it’s fine.”

10. And finally, to any medical student, nursing student, or new resident: “Watch, my child, and learn.”
