When using a public restroom, you wash your hands with soap for a full minute and turn off the faucets with your elbows.

When you tell a man you meet for the first time you're a nurse, you're expected to laugh hysterically when he asks you for a sponge bath, as if it was the most original and wittiest thing you've ever heard.

Your favorite dream is the one where you leave a mess at a patient's bedside and tell a doctor to clean it up.

Men assume you must be great in bed because of the 9 billion porn movies about nurses.

Everyone, including complete strangers, tells you about each and every ache and pain they have.

You want to put your foot through the TV screen every time you see a nurse on a soap opera doing nothing but talking on the phone and flirting with doctors.

You can almost SEE the germs on doorknobs and telephones.

You can watch the goriest movie and eat anything afterwards, even spaghetti with lots of tomato sauce.

You use a plastic 30cc medicine cup for a shot glass.
