....... you need a trunk for all the medicins, bandaids, syringes, needles you might need on your vacation, but a small bag is enough for your clothes.

...you judge how busy of day you are having by how long it is before you get a chance to go to the bathroom

...after growing up with a nurse for a mother you now understand why she was so anal about teaching you the importance of hospital corners on beds

...you are able to calmly give iv push compazine as the patient continually throws up while you are doing this

...you talk in a language all your own (oops did that before I was a nurse j/k

...you understand the importance of good handwashing

You experience a minor anxiety attack whenever you hear the word "Quiet"...in any context...in any place

You might be a nurse if: 1. you believe that "shallow gene pool" should be a diagnosis 2. you believe that chocolate is a food group 3.you think that caffiene should be available in IV form. 4.you have your weekends off marked and planned for the next 5 years. 5. you KNOW that K-Y is optional.

----if there are at least 2 sets of "borrowed" unmatched scrubs in your closet that say "Property of ____" and that have vital signs and FHT's written all over them in ink.

-----If your Christmas Lights are put up on the eaves of your house with anesthesia tape--

----If your linen closet or bathroom vanity contains at least one full box of rubber gloves---

--If your extra bedroom is unusable becausde you are keeping all your nursing text books, "just in case"---

--If you get long-distance calls from your college kid, asking, "Mom, does it look lke its broken?"---
