You know you're in nursing school when......

Your mind is thinking about so many different things that you actually have to stop and make sure you have on all of your clothes before you leave the house!

:yeah:Yes, this is very true. Haha!

My husband is guilty of this as well (he's an EMT and in the Paramedics class). He'll yell at the TV "That's a NON shockable rhythm!!!"

lol i yell at the tv too.

Not only have I done the "you can't shock that rhythm" thing, I've asked "Why the heck haven't you pushed the EPI!?" and my personal favorite was the day that showed V-tach and called it Asystole. I was just shocked.
