Is it Hard Living with a Nurse?


For one thing, I don't know if it's hard living with me so I definitely cannot answer that question. Another reason is, I haven't heard any complaints and/or comments from my family regarding my changing attitude or perception about anything after being a nurse. I want to know what others think of nurses in general, whether at home, in the hospital, clinic, office among others and so I decided to write this.


Before writing this post, I've researched some answers to the question: IS IT HARD LIVING WITH A NURSE? And I found some funny as they are true while others are just funny. According to some, it's hard to live with a nurse because...:

  1. When you forget to flush the toilet, the nurse will tell you bacteria can evaporate in small droplets thus your exposed belongings such as toothbrush, soap and others become health risks.
  2. The nurse will slice every piece of the Thanksgiving turkey so as not to perform Heimlich maneuver on the only holiday he/she has in many years.
  3. You may have a sudden awakening in the middle of the night because the nurse hears you having a breathing pattern similar to that of Cheyne-Stokes rhythm.
  4. You don't get much sympathy when it comes to your minor illness and injuries as the definition of "minor" differs with that of a nurse. 
  5. You can expect sarcastic comments while watching a medical drama with a nurse. Sometimes it's more than a comment, it's shouting comments!
  6. If you are a nurse yourself, you can expect random and out of this world medical questions that you can only answer when you're in "study mode". (The usual response I give to my sister -- who's also a nurse -- is, huh??)
  7. Just like the sympathy in minor illnesses, you also don't get that much sympathy when it comes to talking about disgusting things in the hospital. Nurses are so immune to these topics that they couldn't care less that others might already be nauseated.
  8. When in a social or family gathering and an emergency happens, some nurses tend to ignore as it is only a "minor" illness or help out and miss the important event. Either way they always get harsh comments from their families anyway, so do whichever you like!
  9. Nice massages tend to end abruptly after palpating and/or seeing some unusual scars, mole, lump, swelling area in any part of your body. They're basically analyzing everything they see and asks some "medical thingy" to conclude on a diagnosis.
  10. You may be judged based on your "performance in bed" since nurses are often viewed as flirtatious and slutty "sexperts", some more than others. Even escorts nowadays like to play the role of a nurse, thus nurses in turn are thought of as escorts as well. 
Knowing some of these answers enlightened me on some issues I shouldn't be doing, especially talking about gross things at the dinner table (lol!). If you do have anymore reasons as to why it is so hard to live with nurse, feel free to add on.

Jusqu'à la prochaine fois (Until next time),
