Lets start a fun thread that describes a nursing students way of life.

For examply always broke but gotta have those drug cards.

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:

...your husband, who gets home from work at 3am, wakes you up to ask you to clean your textbooks off of the bed so he can go to sleep. Then he politely points out that you may want to change your clothes too. (He's the best!)

I :redbeathe this thread. it makes my day to read it! :chuckle

When you ask the Dr if you really need that antibiotic he is trying to prescribe to you. :nono:

Yep - did it yesterday before I thought about! "Do you REALLY think this is a bacterial infection - it just started today"

I should add I wasn't there for an infection - I was there having my BP checked b/c of nursing school....and he observed my stuffy nose, sore throat and potential sinus infection! I am glad he is good natured and just said Yes - I think you do....:no:

When looking at pictures of your friend new baby, you notice he has good nares for the insertion of a NG tube. Being a fellow nursing student, Mom had already made that observation.

When you are studying dissociative fugue and start to seriously consider it as an option for getting out of that head-to-toe assessment final!

You get up to go to the bathroom and don't let yourself fall back to sleep until you can recall the cranial nerves, the 8 universal self care requisites, etc etc

You start referring to heavy traffic as 'Ineffective Roadway Clearance'

your dreams consist of your classmates and your performance in nursing school...
