you might be a nurse if...

You use words like "penis" and "vagina" in normal conversation & think nothing of talking about vomit, blood, or poop at the dinner table. 

You now use more 4 letter words than before you became a nurse. 

You've wondered, 'Why am I here?' 

 You have encouraged obnoxious patients to sign out Against Medical Advice.

You can hold your bladder for 10+ hours.

You've had someone with tattoos literally from head to toe tell you he is afraid of needles.

You believe in the evil powers of full moons & speaking phrases with the word "quiet" in them.

You routinely ask, "What changed tonight that made it an emergency when it's been going on for 6 years?"

You've thought about having "DNR" tattooed on your chest.

You don't get excited about blood - unless it's your own. 

You tell time with a 24 hour (military time) clock.

Your friends/family call you for nursing advice.
