You might be a nurse if: While using a public restroom, you wash your hands with soap for a full minute and turn off the faucets with your elbows.

Your favorite dream is the one where you leave a mess at a patient's bedside and tell a doctor to clean it up.

Men assume you must be great in bed because of the nine billion X-rated movies about nurses.

Everyone, including complete strangers, tell(s) you about each and every ache and pain they have.

You want to put your foot through the TV screen every time you see a nurse on a soap opera doing nothing but talking on the phone and flirting with doctors.

You can almost SEE the germs on doorknobs, telephones and toilet seats.

You can watch the goriest movie and eat anything afterwards, even spaghetti with lots of tomato sauce.

You use a plastic 30cc medicine cup for a shotglass.

What's with this stereotype that nurses are nymphomaniac lovers? We're taught not to do anything until the swelling goes down, or take actions like give hydrocortisone shots to make it go down.
