10 things you should know about nurses (from the token straight nurse's perspective):

1) We may only work 3 or 4 days a week, and get paid pretty well, but we also wipe people’s asses for a living.

2) We are actually just adult babysitters.

3) We hate wearing that gown and mask just as much as you hate having c.diff.

4) We don’t wish we were doctors.

5) We wear scrubs. Not short skirts and corsets with those funny little hats.

6) We will overanalyze your veins.

7) We spend too much time looking for a pen. And appreciate a good one more than most.

8) Dear friends and family, we don’t actually like to discuss and diagnose your new flare up or eye twitch outside of work. 

9) We should have a separate degree for simply being able to read doctor’s handwriting.

10) Yes, we are superhuman.
