I saw this done on the nursing student forum and since I'm a new LPN and still a student for my RN I thought it would be cute to do here too.
You know you're a new nurse when...
You have to stay over for at least an hour every shift to finish your charting. :throcomp:
You wake up in the middle of the night and remember something you didn't do or pass on in report and call the nurse to tell her.
It takes you almost twice as long as a veteran nurse to do your med pass. :scrm:
You get a personalized liscense plate to let the world know that you're finally a nurse. :prdnrs:

You know every way your new admit can go down the tubes, and develop OCD trying to catch them before they even THINK about getting sicker.

when you look over your shoulder anytime someone asks for the nurse:uhoh21:
you sign all your emails or casual letters and notes with: your friend, or your sister or your grandaughter (etc) - The Nurse.
you buy every corny nursing t-shirt you can get your hands on because you're finally able to where one.
you have a huge tote with NURSE plastered across the front of it.
You get your first full time nursing check and it's the biggest paycheck you have ever seen.

You know that you are finally a nurse when you sign your cheques, receipts, immigrantion forms...etc.. with Rn. at the end of all
You know you are nurse when you over heard some one talking about an area you love and but in to give free advice
