After graduating, every
student wants to start working and enjoy earning money. Being a nurse is proud
moment, you want to start helping them, comforting them, and get them the right
treatment. Here a few dead giveaways that reveal you're definitely a nurse.
Bodily
fluids are not a big thing
As a nurse, you need to deal
with a variety of bodily fluids including amniotic fluids, chyle, blood serum,
cerumen, breast milk and much more. When you start talking about different bodily
fluids nonchalantly and believe there is no harm in discussing their nature
over the dinner table or while driving, is one of the most biggest giveaways
you’re a nurse.
Your
friends ask for advice
There may be a time in your
life when friends call you for medical advice, instead of asking you out. If
this is happening in your life right now, you're a friend and a nurse who is
trustworthy in giving medical advice. Now whenever your friends call, you can't
help but think it's an emergency.
Being
attached to your pens
You know you are a nurse
when you feel strangely attached to your soft cushioned jumbo pens. You get a
weird feeling when you reach down in your pocket, and can't find the pen. You
feel like you have been betrayed by your friend who has borrowed it, but still
hasn't returned it. You feel uncomfortable sharing your pens and often come up
with an excuse to avoid sharing them.
Coffee
is your best friend
When coffee becomes your
best friend and you crave for a cup, might reveal you are a nurse. Helping
patients recover, comforting and giving them medicine, leaves you with very
little time to sit and eat. Therefore, the only alternative you are left with
is to survive on coffee.
Your
bladder has expanded in size
Have you forgotten about
bathroom breaks? Do you find it amazing when people take bathroom breaks every
hour? Can you work for 12-hours straight without taking a bathroom break? If
you answer yes to any of the above questions, it is a sign that you are a
nurse. If you are able to hold it in for a long time without complaining, then
you might be a nurse, or an aspiring one.
Another dead giveaway is
that you can comfortably read a doctor’s handwriting. We all know that doctors
don’t have legible handwriting, and it is difficult for a patient to read the
prescription, but for a nurse it is a simple task they can accomplish with
ease.
These traits characterize
nursing as a profession, and if you fit this mold, you are most definitely a
nurse, or a nurse to be.
