Lets start a fun thread that describes a nursing students way of life.
For examply always broke but gotta have those drug cards.
stuff like that
You know you are in nursing school when ....
your car looks like its lived in. :chuckle
Your friend comments that your car looks like a library.
Lunch consists of chewing gum and a bag of peanuts. :balloons:
You are always broke but find money for a NCLEX - RN study guide and hold off on buying a new pair of jeans. :rotfl:
HaHa! Well, I don't wear the same socks as my BF (although it would be alot more helpful if I did!
), but I haven't mated socks since November!! They've been sitting in a pile in the corner of the bedroom, and believe me, there's not a clinical morning that has gone by when I haven't cussed myself out for leaving them there and making me attempt to find mates at 4:15 in the morning when it's dark out and I can't see them. Maybe I'll do it this summer....
7...you can rattle of nursing diagnoses/interventions but can't remember when was the last time you cooked dinner.
i cook ... 8 minute meals only (pasta) and sometimes garlic bread heated in the microwave, if not 1 minute noodles.
my only reason for coming home on the weekends is to either get a decent, nutritious meal at home or have my mum cook something for me to back to uni.:stone

my husband and dtr finally gave up trying to get me to cook and wound up at everyone else's for dinner...when they would ask where i was, he would grumble "married to her nursing books"...they got fed alot! :rotfl:
When I was in nursing school, I was convinced my cat had "kitty colitis". The vet fit him in his schedule. Ended up the cat had hookworm and the vet told me to leave the nursing books to the patients, and leave the cat to him! :selfbonk: this was after I had called previously in a panic 'cuz I thought the cat had a prolapsed rectum!!! The cat was fine!!! It is amazing the tunnel vision you develop while in school. Just remember that this too will pass - you'll think you'll expire in the process, but it will pass. Oh yeah.....remember the boards test for minimum competency. Don't beat yourselves up trying to take ACLS, etc for the boards. Just keep telling yourself.....the boards test for minimum competency......... You all will do just fine. :icon_hug: :icon_hug:
I find myself dreaming of things like a pair of those new washers from Sears and catching up on ER, catching up on having a personal life, getting some exercise. I can't wait, I can't wait to be a nurse either. I have always been a caring person, as a kid my sister hated to play with me, someone was always hurt. So much that I converted a toy firehouse that I owned into a Level 1 trauma center.:chuckle I am such a nerd! Oh well at least I can look back and laugh.
