Hi ya'll.

I have to make a brief,hopefully comical speech tomorrow at my pinning ceremony. This is very last minute and I am scrambling. I have come up with the following and need some feedback.

Top Ten signs You Have Been in Nursing School

10)Your family has had more in depth conversations with the Dominos Pizza guy than with you during the last 15 months

9) The dust bunnies under the couch are now considered pets and have all been named.

8)Yor family knows that living out of the dryer could be an alternate lifestyle

7)You have had the revalation that it is much easier to buy new socks and underwear than to wash the dirty ones.

6)You have come to the understanding that psycology is really biology, biology is really chemistry, chemistry is really physics and physics is really just math.

5)You have been heard talking in your sleep about afterload and preload and it still takes some thinking before you get it right.

4) Whike standing in lines at Walmart you catch yourself looking at peoples arms and say to yourself"I could get that in one stick".

3)Your dog just had puppies and you are on the floor trying to find her fundus.

2)You have been known to jump up out of bed and get dressed for clinical, get in your car and the realize that its Saturday and you dont have class,

10 You have learned to prioritize and can now work full time 40 hours a week, go to school 40 hours a week,study 40 hours a week,sleep 15 hours a week,can balance you checkbook, find your husbands keys,stir dinner on the stove, help your child with their math problem and assure them that 31 drops a minute is indeed the right answer, you do this all at one time and thats what you call critical thinking.

Well thats it. It needs some work. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I actually had a vivid dream in which I went over all of them in my head! The quality of sleep I got that night was very poor, and my boyfriend woke me up the next morning saying "Glosso-what-were you-talking-about?!?" I told him I was apparently sleeping, dreaming and studying at the same time and now he thinks I'm nuts!!!

I think that if you dream about it, it is study time! I just view it as bonus study time! :D

I love it, it's perfect as is!! :chuckle I'm sure your class and their guests will enjoy it too. Congratulations!!

That was geat .... Youll be a definite hit:chuckle

Let us know how it turns out. Congrats:kiss

:roll soooooooo funny! I am gonna keep those for myself to help keep my own sanity!!

Another one??? How 'bout, at every meal with family you are just dieing to retell something gross you had seen/heard that day. How your dh gives you death glares everytime you start laughing to yourself because he knows you are DIEING to tell it. Why do I always recall these at dinner???:chuckle

Here's a couple that I have seen on a t-shirt sold at our bookstore (which, btw I kept putting off buying and now they don't have it anymore :o

1) 3 hours of sleep per night...............is plenty.

2) Scrubs make wonderful pajamas (I've learned this one from personal experience as well!)

Congrats on your pinning!
