Funny thing happened on the way to work

4 years & 10 months ago I had prostrate surgery. I had the best nurse on the planet. She really looked out for me. Well on one of her visits in to check on me I was still pretty weak & druggy hours after the surgery & I was telling her that my general doctor recommended that I loose 20 pounds. Then I asked her what a prostrate weighs....she almost lost it. We both needed a good laugh. Being a patient in a hospital is stressful but being a nurse is much more stressful. Let’s here it for our nurses that do so much for us when we are flat on our back & tubes stuck all in us

I agree sir, I recently was in the hospital for 2 days with a tumor eviction. I was literally the only patient on the floor. So the nurses and myself had a great time telling stupid jokes and stories.

the Really sad part is the doctors make a ton of money just for looking at you for a max of 7 minutes per day,
Just for your initial checkin,and so forth.
we arent even talking about surgeries!!
yet the nurses get paid squat for holding the fort the other 99% of the day/night.
plus,half of them are overworked/crazy hours too.

nurses really do deserve a better way of life,imo.

One morning after heart surgery in Feb 2019 I was sitting in the chair reading a car magazine when a really pretty young nurse that I hadn’t seen before comes into my room. She says “ Hi, my name is Mars, yeah just like the planet, I’m here to take your vitals.” I immediately knew this one was going to be fun. So I laid down my magazine, she starts checking me over and gives me a kind of funny look. “Oh, I bet you’re one of those ‘car guys’ aren’t you? I’m thinking this could go one of two ways, but she starts telling me about her husband’s 66 Chevy short bed pickup. Cool, I tell her about my 65 Belvedere, show her a couple of pictures on my phone, then she drops the bomb. “Oh yeah, we’ve also got one of those Challenger Demons!” “You’ve got what?!?” I about fell out of my chair. She says “ I’ve drove it a couple of times, it scares the hell out of me, but I love riding in it and it sounds so good.” I had a new favorite nurse and there were a lot of really nice nurses and techs on that floor.

My wife is my hero and yes she’s a registered nurse. So proud of her....

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."...
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely:
"Are - my - test - results - back?"
Thank you for everything you do and everything you put up with.

4 nurses in my extended family including my wife.

(...and yes the short dress and white stockings, oh, uh, never mind....)
