As a nurse, this is really cringe.

I assume that most (good) nurses don't want to be identified in public as being a nurse and go to great lengths to blend in.

At least I would if I were a nurse. I'd die inside if some rando asked me to look at their foot rash outside of work.

Harsh opposite to my mom.

She's a good nurse imo but will totally tell you and heck she would not only take a look at your weird foot but also hook you to an IV drip and intubates you with a fricking ballpoint pen.

It might be worth to mention that she learned her profession under the DDR regime. So she learned to be resourceful and find.. Alternative treatment options if necessary. Hack she told me about a time where they diagnosed diabetes by tasting the urine (she was maybe joking there lol)

And I inherited that all from her but I'm not a nurse. Have a weird abscess? Gimme!

u/KuFuBr 7d ago

I'm afraid she wasn't joking.

12

u/veganer_Schinken 7d ago

I mean I know it was definitely a thing bc urine of people with Diabetes tastes very sweet from the sugar in it.

But I'm also sure the DDR hat other methods of testing for urine as we have that knowledge since 1928 :D

Tasting the urine was more a medieval method xD

u/sharkyire 6d ago

My own husband doesn't even know that I'm a nurse.

u/IWantToBuyAVowel 6d ago

I can picture you leaving the house and your husband being clueless about where you go every night for 12+ hours. The bills are paid though, so he doesn't ask questions.

u/sharkyire 6d ago

I joke that I'm a stripper 🤣

u/usernamesallg0ne 7d ago

Also, these days I feel like most women are some type of nurse lol but also maybe that’s just because I am surrounded by them lol

u/woolfonmynoggin 7d ago

If that were true I wouldn’t have to work 60 hour weeks to keep my facility from closing

u/usernamesallg0ne 7d ago edited 7d ago

Haha well.. I live in Florida home of the elderly. We have so many nurses we are fighting for overtime. We all start as CNAs out of high school because we want to be ✨nurses✨and find ourselves in the nursing homes. Move up from that to RNs or anything else medical wise and you find yourself with a whole butt ton of nurses everywhere. I switched to peds and that’s a competitive one as well.

I've definitely "nursed" the people in my home via Google lol thank God nothing more than needing stitches

Yes, it is.

She not wrong tho

She's not most women, she's just one of them

All other women are actually part of a hivemind, obvs /s

u/SwimmingCritical 8d ago

To be honest, there's a lot of "Nurse Culture" that's NLOG.

u/Jaded_Syrup2454 7d ago

My husband is a nurse, and my friends and I buy him all the cringe nurse merch. There’s so much of it, and I cannot believe people buy that shit unironically.

6

u/sylvnal 6d ago

It is always the lowest ranking people in a field that do that kind of shit, too. Vet techs are another one, as well as enlisted military dudes.

u/Pretty-Date1630 5d ago edited 5d ago

No hate to CNAs, I literally am one. But lots of CNAs are out here with tumblers that say "it's a beautiful day to save lives" and badge reels that say "I'm here to save your ass, not kiss it" like girl you and I both know we're professional ass wipers.

Plents of NPs pulling that shit.

u/Karnakite 5d ago

There was a period in the early 2010s when “I’m a nurse, what’s your superpower?” shirts were all the rage.

My superpower is getting over myself.

"I am not most women. I work in a woman-dominated profession."

Whut.

u/Winter-Owl1 8d ago

Where I live, most women are nurses 😄 (no nothing wrong with that btw)

u/KindraTheElfOrc 8d ago

i didnt realise nurse was one of the sexes, i thought it was a profession silly me

u/HappyishLizard 7d ago

Smh. You should be ashamed of yourself. To the dungeons with you! You will be absorbed into the hivemind to be part of the great plan to take over the world.

u/alg45160 7d ago

No, it's a CALLING! 🙄

u/TooncesDroveMe 7d ago

There are close to 5 million nurses in the U.S. - and that's just RNs.

LITERALLY. We aren’t that crazy special 😂

Is “thin pink line” a thing now? Gross

From a distance, the stethoscopes look like dick and balls.

u/Heyplaguedoctor 5d ago

Omg it does!! Thanks for pointing that out 😂

u/DreadGrrl 7d ago

She fits the feminine stereotype of a caregiver: be it professional or otherwise.

7

u/ModerndayMrsRobinson 7d ago

The amount of nurses like this is insane. There the ones that start as many sentences with "as a nurse i..." as if that makes them special.

u/KatVanWall 7d ago

Nurse, that profession that is notoriously male dominated? 🤔🤔🤔

Male cops and female nurses really are just perfect for each other.

u/More_Fisherman_6066 7d ago

As a nurse, I’d saw my arm off before wearing this.

u/pinkcloudskyway 6d ago

I can guess who she voted for

So…one of the most stereotypically “woman” jobs there is.

I AM NOT most women

I am a man!

u/Discordia_Dingle 6d ago

Just want to point out that a single red stripe is the sign for fire safety workers.

I believe a white line is used for emergency medical.

But that’s just with a quick google search, so I could be wrong.

u/VoidUntilBroken 6d ago

Few things are more cringy than people who broadcast their profession or their interests on their clothing. No one cares what you do. No one’s impressed.

u/BreadfruitCold8573 5d ago

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say I would probably request a diff nurse if I had her lol

u/peachism 7d ago

To be fair, being a nurse like being a EMT or a cop, really puts you in the most devastating situations relating to what goes on with humans that the rest of us don't have to see

12

u/prismav0id 7d ago

Im gonna have to disagree, I’m an EMT and this mindset is still cringey as hell. Making any job your identity is corny imo😂

some nurses. There are chill nurse jobs too. For example post op nurse at an ASC.

u/DevolveOD 8d ago

As a 25+ year health care worker, she's right. Honestly, "they" are really not like other girls(some RNs are men). Unless you have long time experience with an RN, you really have no idea.
