Old Patient: How old are you? You look 16!
Shrtstormtrooper: I swear I'm old enough to work here, and to drive, too. I'm 24.
Patient: Well, you don't look it. Are you married?
Shrtstormtrooper: Nope, too young for that. I wanted to get my career straight first.
Patient: Good choice. I'm 91, and still too damn young to get married! Unless you want to marry me, then I'll tie the knot tomorrow.
Oh, to be old and to say whatever you want...

One day I woke up and realized I'm not a baby nurse anymore. I'm not even a young nurse. I'm a real adult who has now been doing this for years, and I'm definitely expected to know what I'm doing at all times. And that's fucking terrifying.

Blogs you should go read now
Good blogs gone dormant. Sadface.
DISCLAIMER
HIPAA. Trust and believe, these stories are halfway made-up and halfway made up of lots of other stories. I will protect patient privacy like it's my job. Because it is.
Many of the photos showing mundane things are ones I took. As for memes and other google picture search images, I've been horribly bad at photo crediting - I will be attempting to go back through and properly credit things or remove them if I can't. But rest assured, ain't no real patient pictures up here, folks.
While I appreciate those reading the blog, I don't advertise for any website. I can only be responsible for my own opinion, and thus politely decline any offer to "host a post" or otherwise advertise something not written by me...But thanks anyway!

HAHAHA! That is too cute. I also get the "How old are you?" question. They think I am too young to be a nurse. Love your blog by the way. I am in the process of making a blog myself specifically on nursing. I'm a new grad. Graduated in May, 2009.
Being proposed to by senior citizens and pleasant drunks allow me to say that I have been asked for marriage many times!
Don't you just hate looking younger than you really are? It doesn't always work so well in the medical setting. I often grow a beard to stay respectable looking.
Doctor D, my respect for you grows with each passing moment.
Maha - if I end up a crazy cat lady, at least I can say I have been proposed to as well!
LC, looking forward to hearing about your new nurse-ness :)
Adorable!
