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:
You know when you are in nursing school when...your DRV is maxed out with episodes of "Untold Stories of the ER", "Diagnosis X" and "Medical Incredible" that you are waiting to watch during summer break.
You know you are in nursing school when...
You openly criticize episodes of Gray's Anatomy, House, ER, etc and explain in great detail to family members what they did wrong. My poor dad! He's been recording House so he can watch it when I'm not home.:nuke:
You know you are in nursing school when:
You have no social life
you have anatmical posters all over your walls
Your out to dinner with a classmate and get dirty looks because you forget that other people do not talk about blood, guts, and BMs while eating
Your bathroom liturature looks like this:, Nursing 2008, AJN, MCN, Student Nurse, Midwifery Today, Nursing Made Incredibly Easy Journal....and Readers Digest (for company)
You can watch surgeries on Discovery Health while eating breakfast without batting an eye
Instead of checking-out hot guys while stating in line at the grochery store you check-out people veins
You spend spring break working on papers and clinical write-ups
You got to bed at 10pm and get up at 2am to study for finals
You know how to spell and pronounce Hydrochlorothiazide and know that its easier just to write HCTZ
You get excited for the weekend because you can get caught up on reading

Omigawsh, are you my twin? Those ALL apply to me, hahahaha.
When you're practicing landmarking for IM injection sites in the lab and you get to the Dorsogluteal site, and you say with a straight face, "I need a real butt instead of this mannequin" and your friends all nod, turn around, and bend over. Hahahaha that was priceless :)
But it's so true!
I'm a top heavy girl and when we were practicing finding heart sounds on of my groupmates was having trouble listing to the mitral valve. I had my shirt pulled up to expose a thin tanktop I wore for the occassion, had my breast in hand pulling it out of the way and palpating my chest going "Try here! It's an intercostal space!" I kinda got odd looks from a random classmate that walked by.
-when you dump your boyfriend because he wants to spend too much time with you
-when your family doesn't bring you yummy take out because they forgot you were home and you have to eat left overs
-when people ask if you're growing your hair out and you say, "No, I just can't afford a haircut."
-when you start making a mental list of all the things you will buy when you graduate and your paycheck just about triples only to find out your mom has made a much longer list of more expensive items she wants you to buy her
-when you stop caring that your check will just about triple and you want out of the program because it is too stressful
