Nurses are incredible people. They put through long hours in difficult surroundings and (on occasion) deal with irritable patients, all while providing compassionate care with a smile.
Their days are both psychologically and physically draining and fulfilling. However, if you ask any nurse why they’re doing it they do, they would tell you that they enjoy caring for people.
Having a good sense of humor can help nurses get by.
If you’re a health professional, using a few nurse puns to communicate course material, hold learners’ attention, ease anxiety, develop rapport with students, and make the learning process entertaining can be a successful, multipurpose training tool.
Humor was discovered to be a significant but underutilized tool in nurse-patient contact in a hospital context, according to a phenomenological study. Humor or nurse jokes were discovered to be effective in the same study.
