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. :uhoh3:

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:

....

.....you have listened to your new bulldog puppy's heart and breath sounds (yes, I was desperate) much to his dismay.!

You don't really do anything to your hair but yank it back into a ponytail or twist it up into a claw, and you don't remember the last time you went to the salon (but it was sometime last school break).

okay here's another one....not sure if this one was mentioned

You know you are a nursing student when

you get home from working 9 hrs at your job you hate, eat pasta for the umpheifth time because its the quickest thing to cook in your apartment, and then proceed to lie down to study, to which you wake up at 3 in the morning to find all your text book, drug guide, medical dictionary, pages and pages of powerpoints, and more pages from notes you were taking AND your macbook all sharing the bed with you, with every single light you own is on, and you just wake up, put your glasses back on and continue studying like you weren't just passed out a minute ago!!!

How funny I read that and didn't think anything abnormal about 5 days. We have literally only 5 days to learn all material for two courses have to study 24/7 then start new topics right after the exam.

you know your in nursing school when every appointment is made during your one week spring break, I have 2 doctors appts for the kids, 4 dentest appointments and hope to get everyones hair cut. Not to mention study for the next unit, and work on my Paper.

Specializes in Burn, Pediatric ICU.

My girlfriend is an education major so she took the Praxis and paid 20 bucks to get in to her major program

So.. you know you are in nursing school, when you go to apply and they want a TB skin test, proof of CPR certification, shot record, the results of your physical, application, $20 dollars, and you have to take an entrance exam.

:stdnrsrck:You know you are in nursing school:

When at 4:30 am you had checked and double checked, read as much as you could find on the diagnosis in every single nursing book you own for your care plan that is due at 8:00 am.

When the miserable vacation you had before school now seems like heaven on earth or just a beautiful midnight's dream you had after starting your meds, fluid balance unit.

And finally, when your clinical instructor tells the whole group after collecting our first care plan: "you all look like hell, welcome to nursing school!"

Its obvious, I just did my first care plan.:bugeyes::confused:
