I often pull my nurse card in conversations.
I am so sorry I threw up in front of you. Meh. I’m a nurse.
I hope me telling you about my graphic dermatologic issues over lunch was okay. I’m a nurse.
How do you know that? I’m a nurse.
My use of the card, though, has changed over the years.
We need someone who can handle complex problems. I’m a nurse.
Can you coordinate multiple projects with competing priorities? I’m a nurse.
How did you do that? I’m a nurse.
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: there is inherent power in telling others you are a nurse. It immediately brings a foundational level of respect, credibility, and trust to the relationship. The nurse card is powerful. Use it wisely.
