Ways to Tell if someone is a Nurse

Here are some of the (humorous) ways to tell if someone is a nurse:

They store their stethoscope over the rear-view mirror in their car

They have medical supplies in their homes/car that can normally be gotten only thru hospital

They wear scrubs to bed and around the house as though it was formal wear.

They look at you intensely (esp at the arms) for veins.

I hope you all find these humorous. Please feel free to add to this list as you all see fit. Should turn out to be a good laugh I would think.

LOL, good Nick. Today at an inservice on phlebotomy, the teacher forgot to bring tape (we where sicking each other). I reach into my bag and came up with 5 rolls! (Not to mention 100 alcohol swabs and even more IV caps!) This should make your list!

A nurse is someone who can sit at the dinner table and discuss the wound they were dressing or the results of the enema they gave that day and have no idea why her/his family is turning green!

A parent who is a nurse will hear her child cry out in pain & ask the following questions:

Is there blood? Can you see the bone? If yes go to:

How much?

If no: You'll live then.
