We know that there are things nurses say every day. And then there are things that only nurses say. But we also know there are things that nurses would NEVER say.
Something like: “I feel so energized after that 12-hour shift…” Said no nurse ever!
Over on our Facebook Funny Nurses page, we asked nurses what they would never say. Check out some of the great responses below, and be sure to leave your own in the comments section!
