Things that We Nurses Can Only Understand

There are things that only nurses can and will understand. Here’s some:


  • The moment when you’ve already prep and cleaned your patient for bed, only to have a flood of liquid stool overcome the chuck pads.
  • How Vick’s VapoRub has been your most helpful buddy - relieving that bad smell and the sore on your feet.
  • The rarity of giving report to the same person for the same patient in consecutive days.
  • Nurses makes decisions that doctor’s won’t do or would still be thinking whether to do or not to do. 
  • Just how easily most things can be “MacGyvered”.
  • Hearing the beep a few meters away (like having supersonic ears), assessing from which bed it did came from.
  • Why having good health is the best thing any person could wish for.
  • The big difference of a 16-hour shift and 12-hour shift. 
  • The real threat to human race is not the zombie apocalypse, but those with bad skins. 
  • That great feeling when an old patient return and approach you just to say ‘Thank you for taking care of me while in here‘ with a big smile on their face.
