  15. “Nurses know how to lighten the mood,” the nurse said, “Mostly by making bad jokes and pretending we didn’t hear your stomach growl.”

  26. “You’re not feeling your best today?” the nurse said. “That’s okay. I’ll just tell you some hospital humor to make it better. Ready?”

  27. “I know the IV might sting,” said the nurse. “But think of it as your body’s way of saying, ‘We’re getting pumped up for a good recovery!’”

  28. “Don’t worry,” the nurse said, “I’ve got all the medicine you need and a few funny faces to make the process a little more entertaining!”

  30. The nurse said, “Some days it’s all about the little things—like finding the perfect bandage and keeping my patients laughing!”

  31. “I could use some cheering up,” the nurse said, “But then I remembered—every time I make a joke, the patient laughs off their pain!”

  32. “Nurses don’t just take care of you,” the nurse said. “We disguise the pain with bad jokes, pun-filled chatter, and an occasional dance move.”

  33. “They say laughter is the best medicine,” said the nurse, “So let me crack a few jokes while I check your pulse. It’s science.”

  34. “What’s the secret to nursing?” the nurse said. “It’s keeping a straight face while patients tell us their wildest excuses for not taking meds.”

Working long hours on your feet, dealing with medical emergencies, and comforting patients—being a nurse is a tough job. But through it all, they manage to keep a smile on their face and share a laugh with everyone around them.

  1. Nurse: “You need to stop Googling your symptoms.”
    Patient: “But I have all the signs!”
    Nurse: “Yeah, of having too much free time.”

  2. Doctor: “This surgery is risky, but don’t worry, I’ve done this 100 times.”
    Patient: “Oh, that’s a relief!”
    Doctor: “Yeah, it worked once.”

  3. Patient: “I can’t feel my legs, doc!”
    Doctor: “That’s because we haven’t removed the anesthesia mask yet.”

  4. Nurse: “I’ll be back to check on you in a bit.”
    Patient: “Promise?”
    Nurse: “Of course! Where else would I go? I live here now.”

  5. Doctor: “I have good news and bad news.”
    Patient: “Give me the bad news first.”
    Doctor: “You have a rare condition.”
    Patient: “And the good news?”
    Doctor: “It’s named after you!”

  6. Nurse: “Let’s check your blood pressure.”
    Patient: “Should I be worried?”
    Nurse: “Not if you stop looking at your hospital bill.”

  7. Doctor: “Your test results are in. You have nothing to worry about.”
    Patient: “Oh, thank goodness!”
    Doctor: “Yeah, your insurance didn’t cover the tests, so we have no results.”

  8. Nurse: “You have to take these pills every day for the rest of your life.”
    Patient: “But there are only three pills in the bottle.”
    Nurse: “Yeah, about that…”

  9. Patient: “I need a second opinion!”
    Doctor: “Okay, you’re also bad at handling bad news.”

  10. Nurse: “How’s your pain level on a scale of 1 to 10?”
    Patient: “It’s a 6.”
    Nurse: “Blink if it’s actually a 12.”

  11. Surgeon: “We have to operate immediately!”
    Patient: “How much will it cost?”
    Surgeon: “Oh, don’t worry, it’s an arm and a leg.”

  12. Doctor: “You need to reduce stress.”
    Patient: “Great, I’ll quit coming to the hospital.”

  13. Nurse: “You’re in good hands here.”
    Patient: “I’d prefer to be in good health.”

  14. Doctor: “You need to exercise more.”
    Patient: “Define ‘more.’”
    Doctor: “Moving between the couch and fridge doesn’t count.”

  15. Nurse: “It’s flu season, have you had your shot?”
    Patient: “I’m afraid of needles.”
    Nurse: “I’m afraid of patient excuses, so we’re even.”

  16. Doctor: “Your results are in.”
    Patient: “Is it serious?”
    Doctor: “Well, let’s just say you can stop paying off your student loans.”

  17. Nurse: “Time for your medication.”
    Patient: “No thanks, I Googled natural remedies.”
    Nurse: “Great, I’ll just Google CPR instructions.”

  18. Surgeon: “I have good news! The surgery was a success.”
    Patient: “And the bad news?”
    Surgeon: “We left our scissors inside. See you soon!”

  19. Nurse: “What brings you in today?”
    Patient: “An ambulance.”

  20. Doctor: “You’ll be just fine.”
    Patient: “How do you know?”
    Doctor: “Because WebMD said you wouldn’t be, and it’s always wrong.”

  21. Nurse: “You seem nervous.”
    Patient: “Of course I’m nervous! Your last patient just left the room crying!”
    Nurse: “Yeah, but she was my therapist.”

  22. Patient: “Doctor, I can’t stop singing ‘What Is Love.’”
    Doctor: “Sounds like a bad case of Haddaway fever.”

  23. Nurse: “You need rest.”
    Patient: “I slept for 10 hours last night!”
    Nurse: “Yeah, but in five-minute intervals because of all our check-ins.”

  24. Doctor: “You need to eat healthier.”
    Patient: “Fine, I’ll start adding lettuce to my burgers.”

  25. Nurse: “Do you have a family history of high blood pressure?”
    Patient: “I have a family. That’s enough.”

  26. Doctor: “The X-ray shows nothing’s broken.”
    Patient: “Then why does it hurt so much?”
    Doctor: “That’s the part we bill you for.”

  27. Patient: “My leg hurts when I move it like this.”
    Doctor: “Then don’t move it like that.”

  28. Nurse: “Do you have any allergies?”
    Patient: “Yeah, hospitals.”

  29. Doctor: “You’re going to feel a little pinch.”
    Patient: “Oh, that’s not so bad—”
    Doctor: “Oops, that was just the alcohol swab.”

  30. Nurse: “Let’s take your temperature.”
    Patient: “What’s normal?”
    Nurse: “For humans or nurses who’ve been on shift for 14 hours?”

  31. Doctor: “Do you drink?”
    Patient: “Only when I’m awake.”

  32. Nurse: “What do you do for exercise?”
    Patient: “I walk.”
    Nurse: “That’s good!”
    Patient: “Yeah, from my bed to the fridge.”

  33. Doctor: “You need to quit smoking.”
    Patient: “Can I just cut back?”
    Doctor: “Sure, quit one cigarette at a time.”

  34. Nurse: “Your blood pressure is through the roof!”
    Patient: “Yeah, so is my rent.”

  35. Doctor: “I’m afraid you only have a year to live.”
    Patient: “What can I do?”
    Doctor: “Start paying your medical bills in advance.”

  36. Nurse: “We need a urine sample.”
    Patient: “I need a winning lottery ticket. Let’s trade.”

  37. Patient: “I have a terrible cough.”
    Nurse: “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

  38. Doctor: “This treatment has a few side effects.”
    Patient: “Like what?”
    Doctor: “You’ll have to listen to me talk for another five minutes.”

  39. Nurse: “Why are you out of bed?”
    Patient: “Because I need to find the nurse who stole my warm blanket.”

  40. Doctor: “It’s just a minor surgery.”
    Patient: “Easy for you to say, you’re not the one getting cut open.”

  41. Nurse: “I have some good news and some bad news.”
    Patient: “What’s the bad news?”
    Nurse: “The coffee machine is broken.”
    Patient: “What’s the good news?”
    Nurse: “We still have you.”

  42. Doctor: “Your recovery is going well.”
    Patient: “Thank goodness!”
    Doctor: “Yeah, I was starting to run out of things to write on your chart.”

  43. Nurse: “Don’t worry, you’re in good hands.”
    Patient: “If they’re as good as the last doctor, I’ll be fine.”
    Nurse: “Well, I didn’t have to Google your symptoms, so we’re off to a better start.”

  44. Patient: “I’m afraid of needles.”
    Nurse: “I understand. I’m afraid of paperwork, but here we are.”

  45. Nurse: “What brings you in today?”
    Patient: “I’ve been feeling like I’m always out of breath.”
    Nurse: “That’s because you just ran up three flights of stairs to get here.”

  46. Doctor: “I’ve got some great news! You’re all clear.”
    Patient: “What? No more tests?”
    Doctor: “No, no. Just you’re clear for lunch. You’ve been here long enough.”

  47. Nurse: “Your vitals are looking good!”
    Patient: “Great! So I don’t need to worry anymore?”
    Nurse: “Nope, just worried about how much longer we can keep you awake for this check-up.”

  48. Doctor: “I think you’re going to be fine.”
    Patient: “No offense, but I think I’ll get a second opinion from someone who’s not you.”

  49. Nurse: “I’ll be right back with your medicine.”
    Patient: “How long will it take?”
    Nurse: “About the same amount of time it takes to figure out if I’m getting paid enough for this job.”

  50. Patient: “You’re giving me medication for my cold?”
    Nurse: “Yes, this one’s called ‘Hot Tea’ with a prescription of ‘Patience.’”

  51. Doctor: “We’re going to need to run more tests.”
    Patient: “More? I thought we were just getting started!”
    Doctor: “You might need a few more follow-ups before we’re done—also, a large coffee.”

  52. Nurse: “I’ll be right back with your results.”
    Patient: “Are they good or bad?”
    Nurse: “Well, the only thing bad here is how hard it is to get coffee after my shift.”

  53. Patient: “How long until my test results are in?”
    Nurse: “Well, I’ll give you a hint. When you see me carrying an extra coffee cup, that’s when.”

  54. Doctor: “So, you’re back again?”
    Patient: “Yeah, I couldn’t resist the snacks in the waiting room.”
    Doctor: “It’s not a hotel, you know.”
    Patient: “But it feels like one with the WiFi and air conditioning!”

  55. Nurse: “You’re looking better today!”
    Patient: “Does that mean I can leave?”
    Nurse: “Only if you promise to stop Googling your symptoms.”

  56. Doctor: “You need to lose weight.”
    Patient: “How do I do that?”
    Doctor: “Start by not lifting that donut to your mouth.”

  57. Nurse: “Your blood pressure is high!”
    Patient: “Tell me something I don’t know!”
    Nurse: “Well, I know for sure that your heart is working overtime, and your caffeine intake is making it worse!”

  58. Patient: “I’m in pain, Doc!”
    Doctor: “What’s your pain level?”
    Patient: “It’s 10 out of 10, it hurts so much.”
    Doctor: “You’re probably just hungry.”
    Patient: “Hungry? How does that relate?”
    Doctor: “Well, hunger pains are a thing. If I can get you a sandwich, it might help.”

  59. Nurse: “Time for your meds.”
    Patient: “But I just got here!”
    Nurse: “Yeah, I’m all about that proactive health plan.”

  60. Nurse: “Are you allergic to anything?”
    Patient: “Yes, my test results.”
    Nurse: “Oh, we have a few ways of managing that!”

  61. Doctor: “Your blood work looks great.”
    Patient: “Thanks! Does this mean I get to eat carbs now?”
    Doctor: “Well, you could technically eat them, but please don’t.”

  62. Nurse: “Take deep breaths, I’m just going to take a few notes.”
    Patient: “Great! So when you say ‘deep,’ do you mean ‘loud and exaggerated’ or ‘super calm?’”

  63. Patient: “I feel like my doctor is just guessing with me.”
    Nurse: “Don’t worry, they’ve had plenty of practice.”

  64. Doctor: “You’ll need this new medication.”
    Patient: “Will it taste good?”
    Doctor: “It’ll taste like medicine… just like every other one.”

  65. Nurse: “Your pulse is a little fast, are you nervous?”
    Patient: “No, I just realized you were going to stick me with a needle in about 2 minutes.”

  66. Doctor: “You should avoid stress at all costs.”
    Patient: “And how do you expect me to do that while waiting for the bill?”

  67. Nurse: “We’re going to give you a shot, just a little pinch.”
    Patient: “A little pinch?! That’s what you said last time when you almost broke my arm!”

  68. Doctor: “What are you doing here? This is a hospital, not a restaurant.”
    Patient: “But your cafeteria has great snacks.”

  69. Nurse: “You’ve been asleep for 12 hours!”
    Patient: “I was just resting my eyes.”
    Nurse: “Then you were definitely resting your eyes for 12 hours.”

  70. Doctor: “Your test came back negative.”
    Patient: “That’s a good thing, right?”
    Doctor: “Yes, it’s just negative like the weather forecast outside.”

  71. Nurse: “You need to drink more water.”
    Patient: “But I’ve been drinking it all day!”
    Nurse: “And that’s why I gave you a water bottle, not a swimming pool.”

  72. Patient: “My throat hurts!”
    Doctor: “Have you tried talking less?”
    Patient: “Have you tried suggesting that to someone else?”

  73. Nurse: “I need you to rate your pain from 1 to 10.”
    Patient: “Can I just say ‘12’ and be done with this?”

  74. Doctor: “You’re fine, there’s nothing wrong with you.”
    Patient: “But I feel terrible!”
    Doctor: “Well, it’s all in your head, which I’m sure is just fine!”

  75. Nurse: “Time for your IV.”
    Patient: “Please be gentle.”
    Nurse: “I promise, I’m gentler than your Wi-Fi connection.”

  76. Doctor: “Your recovery will take time, but you’re making progress.”
    Patient: “Will that time be measured in hours, days, or weeks?”
    Doctor: “It’s mostly measured in coffee and patience.”

  77. Nurse: “Do you know your blood type?”
    Patient: “Yes, it’s B-positive.”
    Nurse: “Well, let’s hope your attitude stays that way too!”

  78. Doctor: “Your surgery is scheduled.”
    Patient: “Will I be asleep?”
    Doctor: “Oh, you won’t just be asleep, you’ll be in an all-inclusive dream vacation.”

  79. Nurse: “I’ll be back to check on you.”
    Patient: “Will you bring snacks?”
    Nurse: “Only if you don’t ask about your test results.”

  80. Doctor: “There’s good news and bad news. The good news is you’re going to be just fine.”
    Patient: “What’s the bad news?”
    Doctor: “Your insurance doesn’t cover ‘just fine’.”

  81. Nurse: “You’re going to feel a small pinch.”
    Patient: “Is it smaller than the hospital bill?”

  82. Patient: “How long do I have to stay here?”
    Nurse: “Depends. Do you like pizza? We have a deal with the cafeteria.”

  83. Nurse: “Are you allergic to anything?”
    Patient: “Yeah, your hospital food.”

  84. Doctor: “You’ve been diagnosed with a vitamin D deficiency.”
    Patient: “Does that mean I’m going to have to drink more milk?”
    Doctor: “Or maybe just get outside and see the sun for a change.”

  85. Nurse: “You’ve got this! It’s just a little test.”
    Patient: “Oh, no worries, I have a PhD in ‘freaking out about tests.’”

  86. Doctor: “I think you need some rest.”
    Patient: “Great, now I have an excuse to skip all my work!”

  87. Nurse: “Let’s take your temperature.”
    Patient: “If I’m running a fever, do I get to skip work?”

  88. Doctor: “It’s going to be okay.”
    Patient: “Can you promise that?”
    Doctor: “No, but I can promise you’ll be hearing that a lot while you’re here.”

  89. Nurse: “It’s time to check your vitals.”
    Patient: “Do you know how hard it is to stay calm with a needle coming at you?”

  90. Doctor: “How’s your pain level now?”
    Patient: “It’s down to a 2.”
    Doctor: “Good, now just remember that when you see the bill.”

  91. Nurse: “You’re almost done, just a few more tests!”
    Patient: “Great, I always wanted a career in testing.”

  92. Doctor: “You need to get more sleep.”
    Patient: “If that’s the cure, then I’m in trouble!”

  93. Nurse: “Just breathe, you’re doing great.”
    Patient: “I’m trying, but my lungs seem to have other ideas.”

  94. Doctor: “I’ll have you out of here in no time.”
    Patient: “Yeah, but it feels like I’ve been here for an eternity.”

  95. Nurse: “Let’s get your chart updated.”
    Patient: “It’s a good thing I don’t have to pay for your hours of paperwork.”

  96. Doctor: “I think you’ll make a full recovery.”
    Patient: “And then I’ll be free to annoy everyone at home, right?”

  97. Nurse: “You’re going to be fine.”
    Patient: “That’s what you all keep saying, but nobody’s done my laundry yet!”

  98. Doctor: “It’s all about the little things. Eat well, rest, and stay hydrated.”
    Patient: “But does ‘staying hydrated’ mean all the soda I can drink?”

  99. Nurse: “We’ll take care of everything, you just relax.”
    Patient: “That’s easy to say when you’re not paying hospital bills.”

  100. Doctor: “You’re improving every day.”
    Patient: “That’s what they said about my Wi-Fi… and look how that turned out.”
