you know you're in nursing school when...your 9-yr. old daughter comes home from school telling you she got in trouble. Just because she corrected the teacher about the cervical lymph nodes-proper names AND location AND how to palpate them!!! She's going to make a great !!!
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 I was practicing injections (on the ball) at home, so I was drawing up some liquids in the syringe, including coffee and for a moment there I looked at the 3 ml of black coffee and wondered what if............................
When you have two papers due on Wednesday that account for 10% of final grade in each class and you are on allnurses.com reading this thread:) I justify it as a mental health break!!!
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
