Did you hear about the nurse who died and went straight to hell??
It took her two weeks to realize she wasn't at work!
You may be 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 can only tell time by the 24 hr clock.
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 notice that you are using more 4 letter words than you did before you
started nursing.
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. ( a very
large syringe with a plastic tip, instead of a needle)
Eating microwave popcorn out of a clean bedpan is perfectly normal.
Your bladder can expand to the size of a Winnebago's water tank. ( a
Winnebago is a motorhome, for road trips and camping)
