I love Charge Nurse, but she often says things that could be construed as racist  or, at the very least, culturally obtuse.  For example, she once said she didn’t think of me as being Hispanic because she considered me an American.

The other day the nurses decided that wanted pizza for lunch, and I was designated as the one to place the order.  I was asking around to see what people liked or disliked for toppings.  Charge Nurse turned to me and said,” Just don’t get any beans on the pizza.”

I and the others nearly died laughing, and she didn’t get it.

Because Charge Nurse thought she was telling me not to get weird healthy toppings.
