You know you are in nursing school when your bookbag has wheels AND your zipper breaks, but your too poor to buy another one, so you half zip it and wheel it around low so your books will not fall out!!! Oh what a wonderful life!!!

You feel guilty for spending your one day off from work, school, and sleep to go to run errands.

The only time you keep up with current events is on the radio driving to class/clinicals.

Your friends try to make appointments to see you, the keyword being try.

You only get your hair cut when you can't see for all of it.

When your idea of a compromise between what you want to do (take a long, hot bubble bath) and what you should do (study for that pharm test) is that you get into the bathtub with your pharm cards!

Ooh, I have SOO been there!! Good luck to you!

....Call display is your # 1 friend.

....You resent your friends phoning "just to talk" ....don't they know you have to study? (obviously non nursing-student friends)

....Said friends start dropping like flies because you don't respond to their calls on the answering machine.

and finally

.....Your answering machine message reads "I'm probably up to my eyeballs in studying, so leave a message and I'll get back to you when, or IF, I take a break."

(The above message is a direct quote from my answering machine...to verify call 555-4589! Just kidding about the phone number...the message is still real.)

You know your a nursing student when:

you are so tired and you go to pull off your pants..they won't go down..you realize they are jeans not scrubs and you have to unbutton them.

After a full day of complaining that your ponytail is giving you a headache...you fall asleep with it still up.

The RN I was working with today had a headache, so I taught her the acupressure point I learned. One acupressure point for headaches is the spot between the metacarpal bone nearest your thumb and your thumb--right in that angle there. It should hurt a bit when you press it. Well, she tried it, both hands, and definitely felt better. I don't tend to get headaches so had never had much experience with it...FWIW...

[quote=BSNin05...when you proudly wear the scrub pants you stole from the hospital you did your labor & delivery rotation at because it reminds you of the day you helped deliver your first baby.

...when you need to replace your bookbag because the shoulder straps have ...when it's February and you still have your Christmas decorations up, with no intentions of taking them down until spring break! :chuckle

You mean you were able to put up Christmas decorations? lol... One of my main reasons was a new cat...didn't feel like picking up the tree every other day.

And I still have the pair of scrubs I jacked from the hosptial. I was so excited because I got to wear real tennis shoes and scrubs all day instead of white. But mine are from the CABG I got to watch.

So, you might be a nursing student if...

You've ever used nursing tape on anything at home (Christmas presents?).

The people in the Starbucks drive thru know you by name.

CLeaning consists of doing laundry.

You've turned your kitchen table into a desk.

You've self-diagnosed yourself with every disease you've ever gone over. (Scary when I had the dreams I was going into labor this summer, while I was shopping...no, I'm not preggers, but had dreams I was when we went over labor and deliver...All I could think was "God help me when we do psych!"
