ok im trying to come up with a nursing school t shirt, please add to my list, of course im not going to use all of these (especially the ones my teachers wont approve of) but feel free to write them anyway!
You might be a nursing student if.....
1. You think silk tape can fix anything.
2. You are not allowed to talk about your day at school at the dinner table.
3. You check out strangers for a set of nice veins.
4. You wash your hands before going to the bathroom.
5. You have what you think is a nightmare, and realize "oh im just at clinical."
6. You have replaced sleep with coffee and red bull.
7. The librarian at school thinks your a stalker.
8. You have no problem discussing sputum and bowel movements at lunch.
9. You analyze your own test results at the doctor's office.
10. You find yourself wiping other peoples butts more than your own.
11. You forgot you had a boyfriend and was wondering who was hogging the covers.
12. Your parents reported you missing over a year ago.
13. You have nightmares of being run over by a runaway crash cart.
Also tell me which ones are your favorite or ones you dont think i should use.

I love the library one!
Can I tell you that once upon a time I actually got run over by a crash cart? It's a pretty embarrassing story, but (to be short) we had a code but the code cart was externally pacing someone else at the time, so I had to run and get the other cart. Someone beat me to it so I just ran ahead and hit the button for the double doors to open up, but the girl must of not realized that the doors just don't open instantly and just ran me down! All people saw was me flying through the double doors and eating the ground! Which of course made me look like I was totally over-reacting to the code. Anyway, I had micro-tearing of my achilles tendon and had to be in PT for a couple of mths.
OMG!! not to say i dont feel bad for your injury but I just teared up laughing so hard. Its actually pretty scary when your a student and see that thing flying towards you at high speeds.
Well, I still work at the same place, and if often comes up and people laugh at me again and again. What to do?? Luckily it wasn't a bad injury and PT fixed it, but it really is a good story. Not many people have been mowed down in that way! :chuckle
The funniest part is that since it was a code, I just layed there on the ground and nobody helped me! The manager of the computer department was just happening by and he lifted me up to my feet and took me down to the ER.
I can just hear the nurses now saying, "where is that tech???"

I thought that was "You Might be a mother" :chuckle
as far as student,
You might be a nursing student if your books require wheels
You wear your Stethoscope for fun
You gave up clothes for scrubs
Your Husband goes to work in long sleeves to hide the needle marks or tells his boss he is married to a crazed lunatic with a needle

Just from my own experience:
14. You get excited when someone says there is dressing change or a catheter to be done
15. You dont even flinch anymore when you realize once again there is poop on your shoe
16. You realize that you fall asleep with your nursing text books more than your fiencee...
17. Your Christmas list consists of: NCLEX books, Drug flash cards and nursing care plan books
18.The thought, "what the H#$L are you talking about" runs through your head atleast once a day
19. You find yourself subconciously palplating your dogs lymph nodes...do dogs have lymph nodes? surely...hm....
20. When you hear about a drug you run home and look it up in your drug book
21. You realize that you havent had a meal that didnt constitute vending machiene food in well...a long time...
22. Your friends start wondering if you died...

#18 had me rolling on the floor. I swear that's all I seem to hear in my own thoughts lately followed immediately by, "Where can I find that written in English?"
The t-shirt idea is great. I wonder if you wouldn't mind if we tried it at our school, as well?

I really like #17!
There's a site called http://www.cafepress.com where you can design shirts, mugs, etc. and sell them. Maybe somebody could set up a store and then those of us who are interested could buy shirts? Just an idea...
