3 great nurse jokes

Respiratory Assessments

The nurse went in to check her respiratory distress patient in the Critical Care Unit who was getting oxygen via a mask. The nurse tried to talk to him, but all she could get out of him was gasping and unintelligible talk.

Finally, the nurse thrust a note pad and pencil at the patient and said, “I can’t understand you, sir. Please write it down.”

The patient weakly scribbled on the pad: “Get your foot off my oxygen tube!”
