Mar 31, '08You know you are in nursing school when:
You have no social life
you have anatmical posters all over your walls
Your out to dinner with a classmate and get dirty looks because you forget that other people do not talk about blood, guts, and BMs while eating
Your bathroom liturature looks like this:, Nursing 2008, AJN, MCN, Student Nurse, Midwifery Today, Nursing Made Incredibly Easy Journal....and Readers Digest (for company)
You can watch surgeries on Discovery Health while eating breakfast without batting an eye
Instead of checking-out hot guys while stating in line at the grochery store you check-out people veins
You spend spring break working on papers and clinical write-ups
You got to bed at 10pm and get up at 2am to study for finals
You know how to spell and pronounce Hydrochlorothiazide and know that its easier just to write HCTZ
You get excited for the weekend because you can get caught up on reading -
