You know you're a nurse if...
You've been telling stories in a restaurant and had someone at another table throw up.

when your vet says "You could have handled this one yourself." (suture removal) I've removed kitty stitches but never wiggly puppy sutures.

... When your coworkers ask over Facebook if anyone working Wednesday would be willing to take their sutures out because they are working all week and won't be able to make it to the doctor's office.

you clean a chicken carcass to make soup and it turns into an anatomy refresher..."intercostals, okay, make sure no ribs go in the pot...pelvic bone, wow that's a weird shape...spine, spine, more spine...oh, that's one of those *draws a blank* oh geez, what are those called again?"
Aponeurosis was the word I couldn't remember.

....you're explaining the pathophysiology of hepatic encephalopathy to your 12yo in the car on the way to school.

That is one way to deter drinking!
...when you make a duplicate copy of a recipe (so he won't lose the one in your Great Grandmother's handwriting) for your husband to use and he XXXXXX'X because you've used /c, liters, and other assorted
metric measurements without realizing it.
...when you can't stop what you're doing and yell for your husband to rescue the kitten from your overly
exuberant puppy before he crushes his epaxial muscles and his comment as he rescues the kitten is "Huh?"
If that doesn't do it, then describing the size of the needle they use for paracentesis just might! Hmmmm, I might see if I can bring one of those home sometime....

T-bird I do this ALL the time! I was filling out papers for my kids school meds and the RN laughed at me b/c I had filled out everything on the papers per md orders and even signed the mds name followed by my own with credentials.
