Things that I have been called as a male student nurse by patients that aren't what I am

This is just from my first year as a SN and I do introduce myself to all these patients as a student nurse.

  • Doctor (all time patient favourite)
  • Chef
  • Dentist
  • Gynaecologist
  • Physio (more understandable)
  • Bus Driver
  • Waiter
  • Boy
  • Pathetic silly man (close)
  • Doctor again (i was wearing scrubs this time)
  • Handsome
  • Steward
  • Carer
  • Nurse (another two years on the pain train baby)

The worst one is being called the doctor when I am stood next to a female doctor who's in scrubs (who is also far more intelligent that I am).
