You Know You're a Nurse When...

Thanks, ya'll, I needed that today!

Joy

The Christmas Tree in the ER waiting room is decorated with items off the supply cart-no syringes of course! Don't want anyone to think Santa came early!

During dinner, you are the only one in the family not allowed to discuss how your day went at work.

Hey Karalea! That is true unless there is more than one nurse in the family! We get all the food cause everyone else is so grossed out. Thanksgiving is the best. 3 RN's, a Resp. Therapist/OR tech and another OR tech. The 5 of us can gross out the other 25 or so people with little effort!

Older sis & I used to play " Let's see who can gross out Daddy"....My daughter says I put her @ a disadvantage since she can't gross me out

The best laugh Ive had all year!!!!!!!!!!

exactly!


those are so funny! My dog is looking at me weird cuz I am laffing like a goon....thanks you guys.

You know you are a nurse when....

You compliment a complete stranger on his veins!

You use a plastic 30cc medicine cup for a shot glass!

you can almost SEE the germs on the doorknobs and telephone!

You can discuss a dismemberment over a gourmet meal and it seems perfectly normal!

You have to wash you hands even after not touching anything specific -- you just get that dirty feeling.

there are 3 kinds of handsoap in your bathroom, and a scrub brush.

People complement you just because you're wearing your "civilian" clothes.

You pull up to Mc Dicks at 0900 hrs and ask for a big mac.

Everything you write, letters, emails, christmas cards, have nursing abbreviations on them.

Your diet consists of coffee, cereal and whatever the cafateria is serving.

You only do dishes when you run out of mugs and teaspoons.

The garbage can next to your apartment coin washing wachine is full of "washed" latex gloves that you forgot in you uniform pockets.

You have your watch set on the 24 hour clock.
