Just been sent this. Thought I would share!
This is SOOOOO true...Please send to any nurses you-- know they will
appreciate it!
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 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.
*Everytime 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, its 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....
