You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

When you open your book bag to look for a pen and you have 100 alcohol pads, 5 syringes, 4x4s, an abd pad, hand lotion.... all from the hospital. (I just looked in my bag, lol)

when you have one book that weighs 9 lbs by itself.

when you go in your bathroom and your toothbrush is one that came in plastic wrap from the hopital.

You know you are a nursing student when

---you have diagnosed every strange person in your extended family with some type of pysh disorder.

---and your 12 yr old child ask you if you are ever going to be able to play video games with him again.

---and when you can tell anyone and everyone how meny days left untill graduation down to the min.

"Just 127 days, 8 hrs, and 18 mins left until I am free to panic about boards, not finals!!"

...your mailbox has an invitation from every branch of the armed forces to be all that you can be as one of their nurses. Then you realize that you can't be all that you can be because you're too old.

Now THAT is funny (but so true!) :chuckle

you have't seen your friends since summer/winter break, and when you call they forgot who you were. :crying2:

you try to get drunk every night during the summer/winter break, knowing it won't happen again for a while.:chuckle

-when you introduce yourself to a manikin

:rotfl: and then there's introducing yourself to the your black lab at home who's forced to play patient since your kids ran for the hills...

"Hello Mr. Pup, my name is Mary. I'm a student nurse and I've come in to give you your rectal medication..."

rut row...

Haha! You don't even want to see the rest of my house!

throwing the clothes in the wash is a break for us all. funny how house work was a chore in the past.

Every night my husband comes to bed I have to move all my books. You know, when you are studying Pharmacology you have the Taber's, Pharm. Book, study guide, drug guide, and drug cards all near by (mainly on the bed b/c I have the most room). :kiss

When you speak using "related to" and "as manifested by"

or

When you can write a complete sentance using nothing but abbreviations

My thing to do is to categorize everything as to:

Mechanism of Action

Use

Pharmacokinetics

Adverse Reaction

Interactions

That's when I know I am in Pharmacology hell! I can't even enjoy one episode of CSI without jumping into full form...it's crazy, but so worth it!!

:yeah:

OMG! My firends joke that I'm an alcoholic because on breaks when we're making plans, they ask where i want to go and I say anywhere we can drink at. And of course I have no tolerance anymore, so it's pretty much 3 beers and I'm good, 4 if I wanna get crazy! :cheers: :beercuphe
