Before I became a nurse...

[arizonanurse]

I never wiped anyone's bottom but my own.

I thought being a doctor automatically meant you were smart.

I never swore.

I never had to worry about contracting Hep C or HIV.

I always could count on being home on Christmas and Thanksgiving.

I never dreamt that my alarm clock was someone's call light going off.

I never thought a five-days-a-week, eight-hours-a-day desk job would seem exciting.

Nobody ever hit, kicked, or threw up on me.

I NEVER thought I'd ever say to a doctor about a patient, "I don't care if she's alive or dead, just get her out of here." (I've only said this once, so please don't call me heartless.)

Any others?
