12 Signs that Your Mother is a Nurse

 

This post has been updated: 25 Signs that Your Mother is a Nurse.

This post is for nurses and anyone who has a nurse in their life.  Though the following is especially true for parents in the field of nursing.  I wrote this post on Facebook awhile back, hence it says mother, rather than parent or relative.  I've seen some great male nurses too.

Your mother just might be a nurse if......

1. There are nursing related coffee mugs and refrigerator magnets in the house.

2. You get free medical advice.

3. There is a stethoscope in the house and extra points if there’s a sphygmomanometer lying around.

4. Medical terminology rolls out of her mouth effortlessly.

5. She watches televised surgeries, complete with a picnic tray; sandwich, chips, and lemonade.

6. Her free reading is filled with books on nursing.

7. She watches nursing related TV shows.

8. She doesn’t run out of nurse-related entertainment. She finds random, eclectic shows about Australian nurses during WWI.

9. When off duty, she will save someone’s life in public places like the grocery store.

10. At work, she has brought people back from the dead, and has listened to near-death experiences.

11. At home, you’re likely to learn that the lost eyelash in your eye was swimming behind your eyeball for 8 hours, and then she will continue to do gardening.

12. She has nurse T-shirts, like RN stands for Rescue Ninja.
