You Might Be A Nursing Student If......

[SNBran]

You Might be a Nursing student if ............

1. You are not allowed to talk about your day at school at the dinner table.

2. You have what you think is a nightmare, and realize "oh I'm just at clinical."

3. You have replaced sleep with coffee and red bull.

4. The librarian at school thinks you're a stalker.

5. You have no problem discussing sputum and bowel movements at lunch.

6. You find yourself wiping other people's butts more than your own.

7. Your parents reported you missing over a year ago.

8. Your books require wheels

9. You get excited when someone says there is dressing change or a catheter to be done

10. You realize that you fall asleep with your nursing text books more than your husband...

11. Your Christmas list consists of: NCLEX books, Drug flash cards and nursing care plan books

12. The thought, "what the Heck are you talking about" runs through your head at least once a day

13. Your friends start wondering if you died

14. You know who Don Gloves and Ted Hose are

15. You get to wear your favorite color: white

16. The word "care plan" makes you sick to your stomach

17. You find yourself subconsciously giving your family and friends nursing diagnoses.

-When you realize you can't watch most of the medical drama shows on tv without exclaiming at least once, "That's not the way you're supposed to do that!" And then explaining in depth to whoever is around exactly WHY what they did was wrong!

-When you realize that white tennis shoes pretty much can go with your entire wardrobe, even when you aren't at school or in a clinical!

When you burst into tears over every little thing, when before school started you could let it just roll off your shoulders. Sorry for being so pathetic!

The letters "APA" instill the same fear as the words "tax audit".
