By 3. “Boy, I’ll bet it’s nice, only having to work three days a week/I hear nurses make a ton of money.”
If I worked more than three days a week, I wouldn’t have any teeth left. They’d all be ground away. As for money, there are not yet tax breaks for being amazing, so no, not really.
2. Again, usually from an elderly person: “I miss the caps and skirts nurses used to wear.”
That’s obviously from a person who’s never tried to climb on a bed in a skirt, and who’s never had a cap fall into a sterile field. I reply that we tried to bring skirts back, but the male nurses complained.
And the Number One Thing I Never Want To Hear Again:
“You’re too smart to be a nurse.”
Hold on a second and let me see if I can’t find somebody stupid to titrate this medication, then.
