THE LIGHTER SIDE OF NURSING

You might be a nurse if:

  • While using a public restroom, you wash your hands with soap for a full minute and turn off the faucets with your elbows.
  • Your favorite dream is the one in which you leave a mess at a patient's bedside and tell a doctor to clean it up.
  • People assume you must be great in bed because of the 9 billion X-rated movies about nurses.
  • Everyone — including complete strangers — tells you about each and every ache and pain he or she has.
  • 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 can almost see the germs on doorknobs, telephones and toilet seats.
  • You can watch a gory movie and eat anything afterward, even spaghetti with lots of tomato sauce.
  • You use a plastic 30cc medicine cup for a shot glass.
