Whether you’re a mother, father, horseback rider or amateur poker player, these parts of you are significant, and they don’t disappear as soon as you step into your scrubs and out the front door.
So, to paint a clearer picture of nurses in their entirety, both on and off the job, we asked you to tell us what you do (on the rare occasion!) with your free time. Our Funny Nurses Facebook page received an enormous number of responses that both surprised and amused us, so we just had to share.
Here are just a few of our favorites, along with your own original photos!
