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:

You are always broke but find money for a NCLEX - RN study guide and hold off on buying a new pair of jeans. :rotfl:

When you hold OB study group at a local restaurant and are discussing various STDs and an employee comes over to announce that customers are complaining about your inappropriate choice of topic!

When you think that cinnamon toast qualifies as a semi-nutrious meal for both breakfast & lunch 2 days in a row!

When you go out to dinner with your husband and find that you have nothing to talk about b/c he is so grossed out by your stories from clinical and you have nothing else on your mind!

When your daily planner has a number on each lecture day, counting down to the very last one ... tomorrow!!

You know you are nearing the end of nursing school when you have each clinical day, theory day, and school holiday numbered. 10 weeks, three days, and counting........

The term careplan makes you sick

New student here. You know you're in NS when in Lab the hospital beds at first dont look appealing then your 2nd week of Labs the hospital beds look so comfy you so wish you could take a quick nap in between feeling practicing on your partner.

oh yeah, and when you're at a family function, you diagnose that uncle with the big belly...No, it's not a beer belly, there has to be some type of disease he has that he's keeping from the family...

You know you are in nursing school when...you have been praying for the last day of the semester so you can FINALLY relax...only to find yourself so bored that you look for classes to take over the summer.:bugeyes:

I think I have the #1 way that you know you are in nursing school.....

You realize that all of these are true... and you have spent the last 4 hours reading 20 some pages of them!

Specializes in ICU, Emergency Department.

I agree, that about sums it up. I love this thread!

when you use phrases like "as evidenced by" in everyday conversation...

when you make nursing diagnosis jokes on a regular basis (like "altered level of conciousness r/t studying for exams AEB laying head on desk during said exam, eyes drooping, slurred speech, and inappropriate conversation")...

when you think the ONE WEEK of summer vacation you get is the most magical thing in the world...
