You May Be A Nurse When...
You occasionally park in the space with the 'Physicians Only' sign, and knock it over.
You always follow the rules, but you're wise enough to forget them sometimes.
You have seen more moons than the Hubbell telescope.
You own at least three pens with the names of prescription medications on them.
You believe that saying, 'It can't get any worse' causes it to get worse just to show you it can.
You wash your hands before you go to the bathroom.
You've ever thought a blood pressure cuff would be an excellent gift for Christmas.
You've ever spent more money on a stethoscope than on a car payment.
You believe any job where you can drive to work in pajamas is a cool job.
The ER is a mixture of can do, can't do, and why not!
You consider a tongue depressor an eating utensil.
You know it's a full moon without having to look at the sky.
Eating microwave popcorn out of a clean bedpan is perfectly natural.
You've been exposed to so many x-rays that you consider it a form of birth control.
You've ever had a patient with a nose ring, a brow ring and twelve earrings say, "I'm afraid of shots."
