My grandmother just shared this list with me, and I thought it was wicked cute!! Feel free to add your own :)
You Know You Are a Nurse When...
- You would like to meet the inventor of the call light in a dark alley one night.
- You know the phone numbers of every late night food delivery place in town by heart.
- You can only tell time with a 24 hour clock.
- When asked, "What color is the patient's diarrhea?", you show them your shoes.
- Every time you walk, you make a rattling noise bcause of all the scissors and clamps in your pockets.
- You can tell the pharmacist more about the medications he is dispensing than he can.
- You refuse to watch ER because it's too much like the real thing and triggers "flashbacks".
- You check the caller ID when the phone rings on your day off to see if someone from the hospital is trying to call to ask you to work.
- Everytime someone asks you for a pen, you can find at least three of them on you.
- You don't get excited about blood loss...unless it's your own.
- You live by the motto, "To be right is only half the battle; to convince the physician is more difficult."
- You've basted your Thanksgiving turkey with a Toomey syringe.
- You'e told a confused patient your name was that of your coworkers, and to HOLLER if they need help.
