  find this funny. An experienced nurse does.

Top ten reasons to become a nurse

  aren't as good.2) Fashionable shoes and sexy
  white uniforms.3) Needles Tis better to give
  than receive"4) Reassure your patients that all
  bleeding stops...eventually.5) Expose yourself
  to rare, exciting and new diseases.

21

• 6) Interesting aromas.7) Courteous and
  infallible doctors who always leave clear orders
  in perfectly legible handwriting.8) Do enough
  charting to navigate around the world.9)
  Celebrate all the holidays with your friends- at
  work.10) Take comfort that most of your patients
  survive no matter what you do to them.

You know you're a nurse if...

• You believe every patient needs TLC Thorazine,
  Lorazepam and Compazine. You would like to meet
  the inventor of the call light in a dark alley
  one night. Your sense of humor seems to get
  more "warped" each year. You know the phone
  numbers of every late night food delivery place
  in town by heart.

23

• You can only tell time with a 24 hour clock.
  Almost everything can seem humorous ...
  eventually. When asked, "What color is the
  patient's diarrhea?", you show them your shoes.
