A day in the life of a nurse.

A day in the life of a nurse. hehe
This is SOOOOO true...Please send to any nurses you know -- they will
appreciate it! and to any friends who wondered just exactly what it is we do
at work.

Did you hear about the nurse who died and went straight to hell??
It took her two weeks to realise she wasn't at work!

You know you're a nurse if...

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

Your sense of humour gets more warped each year.

Almost everything can seem humorous....eventually.

You know the smell of different diarrhoea well enough to identify it.

You can tell the pharmacist more about the medication they are dispensing
than they know.

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. (This one is a fact!)

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

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

Every time someone asks you for a pen you can find at least 4 of them on
you.

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

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

You find yourself checking out other customers' veins in grocery waiting
lines.

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.

Your finger has gone places you never thought possible.

You have seen more penises than any prostitute

If you are not a nurse and have been sent this by a friend who is, it's just
to help you understand our mindset and questionable mental status/sanity.

Most of the time we function in spite of this sick sense of humour, fairly
normally and very responsibly.

Scary huh??
BUT SO TRUE OF MOST OF US....
