20 Painfully Accurate Images That Show Exactly What It’s Like To Be A Nurse These Days

Being a nurse must be pretty awesome, right? I mean if there’s one thing shows like House, Grey’s Anatomy and Scrubs have shown us is that pursuing a career in a medical profession means you’re in for one glamorous, hilarious ride!

Yeah… think again. And if you don’t believe me for whatever reason, all you need to do is go right ahead and ask those poor unappreciated, underpaid hospital workers themselves… no doubt they could do with a good laugh!

After all… they do say laughter is the best medicine, right? Although I’m sure all the hard working nurses of the world didn’t struggle through medical school and rigorous hours of training just to be told that.

Either way, it can’t help to try, and thanks to those brilliant people at BoredPanda, we can all laugh (and cry) together at these hilarious memes which show of what it truly means to be a nurse.

Enjoy!

1. 

Ask any nurse what the worst part about being a nurse is, and I guarantee they’ll tell you it’s the patients.

2.

It’s true, most of the nurses don’t see the light of day. And when they’re supposed to see the light of day, their shift gets mysteriously extended.

3.

Well, they do say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions right? The important this is that you always at least try to be a better person. It still counts.

4.

If stress is bad for you then nurses 100% must have the lowest life expectancy out of most other professions. At least they finally get to rest, am I right?

5.

Oh, will you now? That’s great. Just lemme administer all these lovely medical drugs to you and see if you feel the same in an hour, eh?

6.

You can only help people so much right? So if somebody doesn’t want to be helped, well it’s only fair you help them get out of your way so you can focus on those who do want to be helped. Circle of life!

 

7.

Not surprising seeing as they’re the ones who have been laying around “healing” all day while you’ve been focused on your 10,000 other patients. There’s not enough coffee in the freakin’ world!

8.

Oath? What oatth? I’m just here to have a good time sweetie, come find me on the B Ward next Monday.

9.

No one puts on a brave face better than those wonderful nurses! You’ll never hear them complain… even when they’re on the verge of a mental breakdown (which, let’s be honest, is most days)

10.

Another very not-so-secret of being a nurse; they don’t get even half the credit they deserve. That guy who swans in every 2 hours with a clipboard to ask you three questions on the other hand? Well, they seem to go home with the gold every night.

11.

Not to mention that incredibly annoying (and sexist) fantasy of dating a nurse. Oh, you wanna see me in my nurses uniform? No problem, but it’s probably gonna be covered in vomit, poop and blood 98% of the time… enjoy.

12.

Really? We just spent 48 hours together and you couldn’t have got all this out of the way then? No, sorry hunny, I’m done. I am OUT. Thank u, NEXT, GOODBYE.

13.

WHY do I even TRY sometimes. You wanna break your other ankle? GREAT. Go for it, my shift ends in 10 minutes anyway. LOL jk my shift will literally never end.

14.

And what’s the second worse thing about being a nurse? I’ll take The Patients Family for 500 Alex. DING DING DING we have a WINNER. Just get out of here okay? This isn’t a Meet & Greet.

15.

Did you know it’s actually written into a nursing contract that they are simply not allowed to sit down ever again? No, really it’s true. A nurse told me.

16.

AIN’T THAT THE DARN TRUTH? What was it I said before? Overworked, underpaid. Can I get an amen up in here!?

17.

Oh damn, I didn’t realize I was in the presence of a PSYCHIC? While you’re at it could you look into your crystal ball and let me know when my next freakin’ break will be, please!?

18.

Oh please, go right ahead and tell all about what Web MD has to say about the pain in your elbow? I am honestly ALL. EARS.

19.

Ah nothing screams “I’M A NURSE” like the I’ve-gone-three-days-without-a-shower-or-eating-or-sitting-down-in-fact-how-do-I-even-get-out-of-this-buildings chic. It’s all the rage I hear.

20. 

Oh, would you look at that!? I’m meant to be in room 43A, not 34A, what am I LIKE, such a silly goose hahaha..haha…. ha… got to go *runs for life and never looks back*

 

Well, I would love to hear from all my nurses out there! Would you say these memes accurately describe what it’s like daily? Do you have any stories to share with us? If you do then feel free to do so in the comments section! And don’t forget to share this with all your friends, family… and any nurses you may have in your life! x
