Celebrate International Nurses Day with these relatable memes
Nurses have never been more important in the past decade than today. Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, nurses faced some of their hardest days in 2020, as hospitals were overwhelmed with the sick & dying all around the globe.
Nurses continue to carry the burden of responsibility for our help, as COVID-19 continues to ravage areas like India, while other parts of the world have hospitals filled with patients facing the long-term effects of the deadly illness.
COVID-19 aside, nurses are our heroes year-round. They keep us healthy & calm when we feel completely helpless inside our flesh prisons, and it’s about time we give them credit where credit’s due. May 12th is International Nurses Day, and we’ve scoured Twitter to honor our nurses the only way we know how: with the use of dank memes.
Check out what we’ve found, and send these memes to the nurse in your life to celebrate International Nurses Day this year.

Nurses become so slammed at work, transitioning to normal life on days off can be difficult. What are jeans, again?

Only nurses know the exquisite pain of waiting on a patient hand & foot when they think they’re dying. Remember patients: the call bell is not a toy.

When night shift is over, it’s time to sleep while the rest of the world works. If you live with a night shift nurse, when the sun comes up, we suggest you take a walk.
This may will be the most challenging task for a nurse.

Night shift ain’t easy, and all nurses know it. If you can get your shift covered at your job, count your blessings.

Thank you
Let’s face it: patients torture nurses. When we’re sick, we feel entitled to the help of the medical staff around us. Send your nurses these memes on International Nurses Day to let them know you’re not like the rest of their patients.
When you get home after a difficult shift at work that got you questioning ALL of your life choices. #gifgame#NurseTwitter #nurses #nursememe https://t.co/gTD6lJOW5b

Nursing can be a strain on the psyche, and can cause massive existential dread. Send this meme to the Rick & Morty fan nurse in your life and let them know you feel their pain.
