you know you've been a nsg student too long when...
*you identify the library as your primary place of residence on your finacial forms
*you pay 70$ for a textbook without complaining.
*your only exercise consists of running between classes.
you suspect your instructors attended the marquis de sade school of nsg care plan writing.
*after dinner, you inform them that they are npo till morning.
*you have sacral decubiti from sitting in lectures.
*your fingerprints are fading from handwashing.
*when your clinicals start at 7am, you look foward to "sleeping in"
*you believe your uniform is flattering to your figure
*your best mouth -to-mouth contact is with a rescui-annie.
you get the feeling that you should be doing something, anything, other than what you are doing the first few days of vacation time.
*you inadvertently write "sn" after your check signature
*you look foward to taking the nclex
*you wish florence nightengale had stayed in crimea...:chuckle :roll :roll :d
good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, after so many years of school, I look at my kids when they tell me they have a tummy ache, and ask about last bm, last food, last drink, and if they need a suppository...........
They run away really fast now.
Seriously folks, some day this will all BE funny...........
