Dec 9, 2009 by studentnurse85 740 Visitors; 5 Posts I have to agree with ~Mi Vida Loca~, I knew I was a student nurse when I also gave my daughter my old "cheap" stethoscope, (the one that I had before I got my litman), and she is constantly listening to her doll's heart and wanting to listen to my heart and bowel sounds! also she says she wants to be a nurse like mommy when she grows up, and I asked her "What do nurses do?" and she said "they clean up poop Mama!" :spin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When hubby comes to see what's going on.... you're working on A&P and trying not to pull your hair out. Daddy doesnt say a word, just backs out of the room slowly :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last summer when I was working at my cashier job, I kept one of those Mosby's F&E notecards books in my purse so that I could study between customers when I was bored. Or when you are the only one who has the first aid kit. Tums, bandaides, advil, benadryl, with you all the time...:heartbeat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
