I got this tote bag for my birthday this year with the following written on it. I found it quite amusing, and thought I'd just share it with everybody.

Top Ten Reason to Become a Nurse

1. Pays better than fast food, though the hours aren't as good.

2. Fashionable shoes and sexy white uniforms.

3.Needles: Tis better to give than to receive.

4. Reassure your patients that all bleeding stops... eventually.

5. Expose yourself to rare, exotic diseases.

6. Interesting aromas.

7. Courteous and infallible doctors who always leave clear orders in perfectly legible handwriting.

8. Do enough charting to navigate around the world.

9. Celebrate the holidays with all of your friends -- at work.

10. Take comfort that most of your patients survive no matter what you do to them.

According to my mum, I declared my desire to be a nurse at age six. She wanted to make sure I wasn't succumbing to gender stereotypes, so she asked why I wanted to be a nurse instead of a doctor. (Silly lady!) Apparently I declared, quite seriously, "because nurses get to give the shots!"
