NO ONE DESERVES A LAUGH MORE THAN YOU. You’re a nurse and that means you will feel burned out, stressed, bored, and in need of a laugh every once in a while. These aren’t like our quotes on how to be a leading nurse – they’re the quotes you need to just get through the shift. Being able to laugh at your own career as a nurse can be one of the greatest stress relievers out there. Nurses experience things everyday that most people can’t even imagine, and nurses have an understanding of one another that can only be understood in the crazy world of nursing.
