Nurse Memes
If you've lived it, you'll laugh at it. If you haven't, you'll be confused. Both are valid.

Nurse Life
Universal truths only people in scrubs will fully understand.
- ☕
Coffee is not a beverage. It is a personality trait, a coping mechanism, and a love language.
- 🩺
You can identify another nurse from 50 feet away by the sensible shoes alone.
- 🖊️
Pens have a 4-hour life expectancy on shift. Someone is always 'borrowing' them.
- 🍕
If a patient offers you food, you accept. If a doctor orders pizza for the unit, you weep tears of joy.
- ⏰
'I'll be right back' is the most dangerous sentence ever uttered in a hospital.
- 🦠
You haven't truly worked in healthcare until you've been bodily fluid–baptized at least once.
- 🛌
Your bladder has the patience of a saint and the timing of a comedian.
- 💬
Saying "it's been quiet" is a felony. Don't do it. Don't even think it.

About Emily
RN by day, meme-dealer by night. I've been a nurse for over a decade, and somewhere between the 14-hour shifts and the questionable cafeteria coffee, I realized humor was the only thing keeping me (mostly) sane.
This little corner of the internet is where I share the jokes I'd tell my coworkers in the breakroom — minus the inappropriate ones (mostly). If you've ever charted through tears of laughter or cried-laughed in the supply closet, you're my people.
Laugh. Share. Survive.
