This is a small collection of my favorite nursing memes. I have way too many of these, and they all crack me up because they’re so true. 😀 Even if you’re not in the medical field, I hope this post will make you smile.
Just a tip for the nursing student:
Because you are supposed to pick the best right answer.
Here are some that I just find funny:
But, on the serious side, I loved being a nurse with all my heart. So, here are these:
To my fellow Americans, Happy Independence Day tomorrow!
Thank you for sharing in my silliness,
So funny and/or touching. I get the gist, even though I guess nurse humor is like doctor humor, a way to survive but that most people don’t get! 😉
Thank you, Jill. 🙂 I’m sure you’re right about the type of humor this is. 😀
As a fellow nurse, I agree!! 😂
LOL! I was hoping you’d see this. 😀 😀
I loved them!
😂

ha ha! nice one Kyber :)) don’t know any good nurse jokes… but this is really funny I found a while back when I was in Ireland :))
Letter from an Irish Mother to her Son
Dear Son,
Just a few lines to let you know I’m still alive. I’m writing this letter slowly because I know you can’t read fast. We are all doing very well.
You won’t recognise the house when you get home – we have moved. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home, so we moved. I won’t be able to send you the address because the last Irish family that lived here took the house numbers when they moved so that they wouldn’t have to change their address.
This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I’m not sure it works so well though: last week I put a load in and pulled the chain and haven’t seen them since.
Your father’s got a really good job now. He’s got 500 men under him. He’s cutting the grass at the cemetery.
Your sister Mary had a baby this morning but I haven’t found out if it’s a boy or a girl, so I don’t know whether you are an auntie or an uncle.
Your brother Tom is still in the army. He’s only been there a short while and they’ve already made him a court martial!
Your Uncle Patrick drowned last week in a vat of whiskey in the Dublin Brewery. Some of his workmates tried to save him but he fought them off bravely. They cremated him and it took three days to put out the fire.
I’m sorry to say that your cousin Seamus was arrested while riding his bicycle last week. They are charging him with dope peddling.
I went to the doctor on Thursday and your father went with me. The doctor put a small tube in my mouth and told me not to talk for ten minutes. Your father offered to buy it from him.
The weather isn’t bad here. It only rained twice this week, first for three days and then for four days. Monday was so windy one of the chickens laid the same egg four times.
We had a letter from the under-taker. He said if the last payment on your Grandmother’s plot wasn’t paid in seven days, up she comes.
About that coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Stanley said it would be too heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.
Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety. Your other two friends were in back. They drowned because they couldn’t get the tailgate down.
There isn’t much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened.
Your loving Mum
P.S. I was going to send you some money but I had already sealed the envelope.
Thank you so much, Darren! ❤ That letter really cracked me up! hahahaha!
These are brilliant! 😂😂😂
Thanks so much, Caz! 😀
I didn’t get some but I’ll forward these to my daughter, I’m sure she will.
Thank you, Jo ♥ I hope she gets a laugh.
Oh no, the sense of humor one.
“Any progress on osteosarcoma? … No? … Let’s move on, then.”
LOL! Thank you, Dolly Llama. 🙂
I think if you change the wording of some, they can apply to teaching too! Oh the challenges we face in service of others. So learned spending so much time in the nursing home, often doing things for the residents when the nurses are too busy!
So true, and to academia in general. There’s surprisingly little difference between undergrads and kindergarteners sometimes.
LOL So true, Dolly Llama 🙂
Sadly not much different between a grade 8 student and a spunky elderly person either. And don’t get me started on the funny times with dementia. And I mean funny as in funny or funny/sad. Sigh
Yes, I believe you are right about that! 🙂 Thank you, Bee, for your help at the nursing home. I am sure the nurses appreciate it.
Well, it’s an image. Screen readers skip that. But, happy independence day!
Thank you, Jina! ♥ Same to you!
I admire you for all the hard work done as a nurse! ♥
Thank you, Jowita. ♥♥
My sis is a nurse so I found this particularly funny.
Thank you, Jacqui, I’m so glad 😀
I loved this!
Thank you, Audrey 🙂
I’m not a Nurse but I found these very funny, Lol (except the one with the acronyms because I don’t know what they mean! LOL)
On the serious side, thank you for what you do. <3
Thank you so much, Mena. 🙂 I’m glad you thought they were funny. The one with the doctor’s order is basically that he ordered a water pill twice a day, but wanted the catheter discontinued. The patient’s going to be running to the bathroom (if they can) like crazy. Or we’re going to be running with the bedpan. lol 😀
