What we're working for...

Thought this was cute...and a bit of an "idea" what we're working towards as nurses.

You're a Nurse If...
*You believe that every patient needs TLC...... Thorazine, Lorazepam and Compazine.

*You would like to meet the inventor of the call light some night in a dark alley.

*You believe not all patients are annoying...some are unconscious.

*Your sense of humor gets more warped each year.

*You know the phone number of every late night delivery place by heart.

*You can only tell time by the 24 hr clock.

*Almost everything can seem humorous....eventually.

***You notice that you are using more 4 letter words than you did before you started nursing!!!!!

*Every time you walk you make a jingling noise because of all the scissors and clamps in your pocket.

* You refuse to watch ER because it is too much like the real thing and it triggers flashbacks.

*You check the caller ID on your day off to see if anyone from the hospital is trying to call and ask you to work.

*You've been telling stories in a restaurant and made someone at another table throw up.

*Everytime someone asks you for a pen you can find at least 4 of them on you.

*You can intubate your friends at parties.

*You don't get excited about blood unless it's your own.

*You live by the motto "to be right is only half the battle, to convince the doctor is more difficult"

*You've basted your thanksgiving turkey with a toomey syringe.

*You've told a confused patient that your name was that of your co- worker and to holler if they need help. :)

*Your bladder can expand to the size of a winnebago's water tank.

*When checking the level of a patients orientation you aren't sure of the answer.

*You find yourself checking out other customers veins in grocery waiting lines. (definately do this!!!)

*You can sleep soundly at the hospital cafeteria table on your dinner break and are not embarrassed when you wake up.

*You avoid unhealthy looking shoppers in the mall for fear that they will drop near you and you'll have to do cpr on your day off.

*You hate to get dressed in "real clothes" because scrubs are what you live in, and why can't they make jeans that comfortable. (AMEN!)

*You often stay awake for 24+ hrs at a time when you work nights and realize you don't need alcohol or drugs to hallucinate just lack of sleep...

*Your finger has gone places you never thought possible.

*You have seen more penis' than any prostitute!

*You've sworn to have "No code" tattooed on your chest!
