Check out this article. Nurses were caught playing Facebook's newly popular game Farmville around 8pm on September 30. The person that captured these pictures was visiting a patient at the hospital at the time.

He said:

"I was visiting my dad at the hospital when I saw these nurses playing a Facebook game on the computer.

"This happened at about 8pm today. A few nurses of ward 57 were sitting at the Nurse Station and using a computer to access a Facebook game called Farmville.

"This is so unprofessional. Instead of attending to the patients, they were playing computer games.

"Moreover, there were still visitors there."

    • The nurses are human. The patient that complained is a complete and utter douchebag. I hate people who enjoy getting people into trouble.

      I totally agree with existentialist.

    • don't they know farmtown is better? i mean, farmville, there's really nothing to do while you wait for your crops to be ready to harvest. farmtown, you just go to the marketplace to work on other people's farms for monies and exp. geez, silly nurses. ;P (man, i'm a dork...)

      and i agree with existentialist.

    • I really don't see the big deal. Nurses make their rounds and answer to patients when they call. They have a fair amount of downtime. I can remember several times going to a hospital and the nurses were just gossiping away because they were caught up.

      I agree that if they are going to play facebook games, it should be on a computer where patients and visitors can't see it, so as not to look unprofessional.
