This isn't one of our laugh-out-loud Friday Funnies posts, but we tried to gather some cute, giggle-worthy illustrations for both Nursing students and instructors to use in the classroom. Hope you find them useful!
- A new nurse listened while the doctor was yelling, "Typhoid! Tetanus! Measles!"The new nurse asked another nurse, "Why is he doing that?"The other nurse replied, "Oh, he just likes to call the shots around here."
- You know you're a nurse when discussing dismemberment over a gourmet meal seems perfectly normal.
- You know you live with a nurse when.. you forget to flush the toilet, you get a complete analysis with a plan on how to correct any noted problems.
We understand that "Friday" isn't always the start of the weekend for nurses. However, whenever you're day off is, these funnies might help you remember why having a break is just so good. Enjoy your days off, you earned them!
Why do we have such a hard time keeping Nurses in the Nursing profession? A study by Bowles and Candela shows that up to 30% of new nursing graduates left their first nursing position during their first year and a whopping 57% left by the second. Even Florence Nightingale left active nursing after three years and moved to an instructor/administrator role from there.
Let's all take a break from being serious for a just a few minutes and have a laugh. Here are some funny sites and jokes you might all appreciate as a break from the regular education and EHR-related posts we typically have on this blog.
