Okay, these lists are a little bit obnoxious, but the kids have nearly caused Ariel and I to run away from home today, and all of these things are soooo true about the nursing profession, and perhaps will give a little insight into my day job.
- You have the bladder capacity of five people
- You have your weekends off planned for a year in advance
- You believe that unspeakable evils will befall you if the phrase, "wow, it is really quiet" is uttered
- You have ever restrained someone and it was not a sexual experience
- You get an almost irresistible urge to stand and wolf your food even in the nicest restaurants
- You are the only one at the dinner table NOT allowed to talk about your day at work.
- Your family members must have a fever of at least 105 or be missing a limb with active bleeding in order to receive your sympathy.
- You would like to meet the inventor of the call light in a dark alley one night.
- You find yourself checking out other customer's arm veins in grocery waiting lines. (Wow! I can get an 11g in that puppy!)
- 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 know the smells of different types of diarrhea
- You check the Caller I.D. on your days off to see if anyone from the hospital is trying to call and ask you to work.
- You notice that you are using more 4 letter words than you didbefore you started nursing.
- You avoid unhealthy looking shoppers in the mall for fear that theywill drop near you and you'll have to do CPR on your day off.
