I complied this list from a couple of different websites.
They are hilarious, even if you're not a nurse.
You believe that all the patient needs is some vitamin A (ativan)
You do the "only-27-more-minutes-of-the-shift-from-hell happy dance"
You believe the more equipment you see on a nurses belt, the newer they are. (so true!)
You believe when dealing with patients, supervisors, or citizens, if it felt good saying it, it was the wrong thing to say.
You call burn victims "crispy critters" (that just sounds wrong!)
Your bladder expands roughly to same capacity as a Winnebago's water tank
You refer to someone in severe respiratory distress as a "Smurf"
You have your weekends off planned a year in advance (my boyfriend doesn't like that!)
Your idea of a good time is a Code Blue at shift change
You get an almost irresistible urge to stand and wolf down your food, even in the nicest restaurants
You believe a book entitled 'Suicide: Getting it Right the First Time' will be your next project.
You have encouraged obnoxious patients to sign out AMA (classic)
Your idea of a meal break is finishing your coffee before it gets cold
You can keep a straight face when a patient responds, "Just two beers."
You think that Prom tickets should have coupons good for one free gastric lavage.
Your reply to the pt who asks "have you ever done this before?" r(referring to starting an IV) is "I saw it done once on an episode of ER"
You can sleep soundly at the hospital cafeteria table during break, sitting up and not be embarrsased when you wake up.
That's all for now
