You might be nurse if……..

(I stole this one from Mama M because I think it’s so much fun!!  I’m going to throw in pictures of the kids just to keep you reading though:))

…you can tie a latex (or non-latex)  glove in a knot after filling it with it!

….you go to bed hearing the sound of a fetal heart.

…you think shots are no big deal.

…you love starting IVs because they’re fun!

…you don’t think your child is hurt since there isn’t much blood.

…you worry about H1N1 if you or your child “might” have a fever.

…cleaning up poop is as normal as washing your hair.

…walking down the hall after cleaning poop you happily each a brownie or chocolate cake.

…when you have a baby all your colleagues see all your business because they are taking photos for you.

…if you can tell the doctor what orders he wants to write!

…if you try to think of cool snacks to make before going to the hospital.  Everybody’s always hungry ya know!

…you are the worst patient on the planet…..and you certainly know more than EVERYONE around you!

…you either take your child to the doctor after you have learned of an extremely rare disease that you’re “certain” he has or not until he is so sick he must be rushed to the hospital.  There is no middle ground!

…you always request copies of you, your spouse, or your children’s lab work.  Then you take it to be looked at by other nurses or doctors at the hospital since the “real” doctor certainly doesn’t know as much!

I wish I could think of some funnier ones, but I could have the longest list ever if you wanted more serious answers.

I love you all (and my job).
