I'm not generalising here but a lot of the nurses in our local doctors surgeries and hospitals are really fat. What kind of messagge does this send out to patients? I had by blood pressure and some bloods taken by the nurse that runs our diabetes clinic and she is about 5ft 0 and 200lbs.
Surely they should practice what they preach?
*dons lots of kevlar*

Nurses like pies?
"messagge"
Sausage, Saggage etc. Freudian slip 
Ohhh Matron
No different to fat bikers on here 
Pot, kettle.
…and why do all nail technicians have names like they’re transgender? Claudine, Chantelle, Bobbi-Sue etc.
It's all the boxes of Roses and Quality Street patients bring in to say thank you.

And you know that how..?
I used to always champion the case for nurses, underpaid, overworked etc but then after a few stays in hospital i totally changed my mind.
I have no doubt thst there are many fabulous nurses out there but my experience is that the majority of them now are fat, useless, lazy, rude, uncaring and unfit to do the job. The foreign nurses during my last overnight stay were incredibly aggressive with the old man across from me and hitting him is not what i'd call proper treatment.
My diabetic nurse is also very fat, i'm amazed that so many nurses are when they are constantly reminded daily by ill patients right in front of their faces. Would you take dietary advice from somebody who's morbidly obese????
all nurses smoke too, its a legal fact.
psychiatric nurses sit around drinking coffee, smoking and ignoring patients.
nurses working with the elderly have it best though... drug em up til they sleep and hit the ones that dont sleep quick enough.
I know a few nurses none of them are fat but yes the woman who takes my BP lectures me about weight and drinking and she's twice the size of me and I saw her coming out of Greggs with a box of cakes and made sure I said 'Hellooooo'

My nail technicians called 'Roxanne' and she has very very long false eyelashes and is the same colour as an umpa lumpa
I once saw a dietician who was as wide as she was tall. I didn't believe a word she was saying
Their advice about diet etc is still sound though, isn't it?
Yeah true....
Does 'Roxanne' have hairy knuckles?
No 5 inch eyelashes same colour as an umpa lumpa and bee sting lips that look like you could stick her to a car window
Does 'Roxanne' have a willy big Adam's apple?
They are all in the middle of their very own research project into the causes and effects of obesity. The only way they get ethical approval is to do it on themselves. Did you not know this?
I'm going on Friday I'll check and report back Harry

This thread is great, and really helps to take the pulse (ha) of the stw readership, all nurses are fat , are they not just a cross section of a nation that is gorging on cheap junk food and processed crap, there are fat police, IT workers, window cleaners and yes even mountain bikers.
As a nurse (psychiatric) feel that i should mention, im not fat! Dont smoke. Virtually everyone in my team is vegetarian. Dont drink coffee.
So there you have it, just to put some miscionceptions to bed!

...or maybe its just a bit of a piss take? Perhaps some nail technicians didn't start life called Dave or Simon.
or Keith.

I really hope you reported your experience, particularly the 'aggresive hitting nurses' as that is totally unacceptable and definitely NOT my experience of the vast majority of nurses, regardless of nationality.
I don't know whether there are more porky nurses than you would have in the general population but there do seem to a be a huge number who look like they have grown out of their uniforms!
Molgrips - yes their advice is still sound but by Christ, my diabetes nurse is so fat, she can't even open her eyes properly.
She's got cheek vision.
I briefly went out with a nurse, she wasn't fat. However, she did point out that a lot of her colleagues were, erm, rather stout and suggested that due to the weird shifts they work when they got in they just ate takeaway rather than cooking lovely healthy food.
instant hit
Get off that computer, you know they are not for patient use 
instant hit.... me too 
OK I'll bite, most nurses have to work crap hours, long shifts, get out of work at unsociable hours, end up eating a lot of junk while on the run, are often still expected to do a great deal of housework and the job itself has seen quite incredible mission creep, while they get blamed for everything that goes wrong on the ward becuase others havn't done their jobs properly and have to deal with a bunch of crabby ill selfish people all day everyday. Frankly I'm amazed they manage to remain human, let alone civil.
Dont panic, im on my own laptop and not ward based!!
If this is true it's a very sad state of affairs - nurses (and more specifically nurse’s colleges) were a truly excellent source of carnal entertainment with some very trim young ladies with remarkably few morals or inhibitions – if this well has run dry for the young men of today I see feel their pain.
Well there's a some new nurses I seen this weekend I'd not call fat and made the many trips there very worth while.
Do you think Frank and Keith the orange, hairy-handed nail technicians liked dressing as nurses when younger. That could be the root of the problem.
Just a thought
