You know you are a nurse when...

You know that all bleeding stops...eventually.

Your diet consists of food that has gone through more processing than most computers.

You believe chocolate is a food group.

You disbelieve 90% of what you are told and 75% of what you see.

You have your weekends off planned for a year in advance.

You believe that unspeakable evils will befall anyone who utters the phrase 'Wow, it's really quiet isn't it'.

Your favourite hallucinogen is exhaustion.

You think that caffeine should be available in I/V form.

You shock someone with an unrecognisable rhythm...until you get the one you do recognise.

You can identify what kind of diarrhoea it is just by the smell.

Your sense of humour gets warped each year.

Every time you walk you make a jingling noise because of all the scissors and clamps in your pocket.

You've been telling stories in a restaurant and made someone at the other table throw up.

Every time someone asks you for a pen you can find at least 4 of them on you.

When checking the level of a patient's orientation you aren't sure of the answer.

Addit: from Joannies:
You believe in the legend of full moon night. Every patient will go nuts on those nights.

i only agree with half of them. Is that mean I should consider quitting nursing or turn to EN? =p

I think caffeine should be available in injection form before I/V!

I only bring a pen with 4 colours. coz if i bring extra pen with me, somebody will borrow it & never return!

Additional points:
You believe in the legend of full moon night! Every patient will turn nuts on those nights.

You are well-trained in eating fast! Nurses only have 30-40 mins from buying or re-heating food till toilet break.

Your bladder is so stretchable that you don't need to go toilet for a shift if you get busy.
