It’s not an urban myth, it’s not folklore and it’s not a rumor. Nurses make THE worst patients.
I speak from experience here. Any Nurse who has been walking the walk for more than a month will agree with me. We stink at being cared for by someone else.
Being on the other side of the bedside is scary and Nurses are notorious at not accepting such change. Here are 11 humorous truths as to why we stink at being the patient.
 
11 reasons why Nurses make the worst patients
 

We’re needy

We judge everything

We realize how bad of a nurse we have been

We don’t listen

We tell you what’s wrong and what to do

We know who we don’t want

We become THAT patient

We love students.. but we really don’t

We’re scared to death

We hate giving up control

We’re also the worst family members

Thank you to everyone who tunes in to listen!! Until next time, CHECK YOUR OWN PULSE FIRST.
