In a hospital, nurses take orders from people with silver and gold in their wallets. When discharged from the hospital after a Lower GI Series, you get the GI bill. To fill the graveyard shift, hospitals sometimes resort to the draft. Nurses, like soldiers, see a lot of privates. A pediatric nurse's shoes may lack the shine, but they have the spit.
Nurse training is like boot camp.
Never before had you seen so many bald body parts. In the military, a fatigue is what you wear. In nursing, it's what wears on you. Soldiers get combat pay.
