I love this joke. I can get away with telling it to you because I'm an insurance nurse!

-----
Three nurses went to heaven, and were awaiting their turn with St. Peter to plead their case to enter the pearly gates.

The first nurse said, "I worked in an emergency room. We tried our best to help patients, even though occasionally we did lose one."

St. Peter agreed, stepped aside, and the ED nurse proceeded through the gates.

The second nurse said, "I worked in an operating room. It's a very high stress environment and we did our best. Sometimes the patients were too sick and we would lose them, but overall we did try very hard." St. Peter nodded, stepped aside once more, and the OR nurse made her way into heaven.

The third nurse said, "I was a case manager for an HMO." St. Peter quickly shook his head and held up his hand before the nurse could say anything more. Turning to his desk, St. Peter looked at a file. He snapped open his laptop and began punching away at it furiously, constantly going back to the nurse's file.

After a few minutes St. Peter looked up, smiled, and said, "Congratulations! You've been admitted to heaven ... You can stay three days!"
