You Know Your Sister's in Nursing School When...

- You find an IV bag hanging in the car.

- You walk into her room and she says, “Do you want to hear about shock?”

- She starts using the words “heck” and “crap” a lot more than she used to.

- You start to hear the phrase, “I’m going to die” quite frequently.

- She suddenly has no idea what’s going on with the rest of the family.

- There are a LOT of Dr. Pepper and Coke Zero bottles in the trunk.

- You see a lot of scrubs going through the laundry.

- She walks into your room while you're trying to do homework and asks if she can practice vitals and assessments on you.

- There are a ton of alcohol swabs taped on her bedroom door.

- She squirts the ceiling with an IV flush just for kicks.

- She tries to teach the whole family how to use an incentive spirometer.

- When you suddenly realize that the topic of conversation is how to drain fluid from a person’s brain out their back.

- She drops a giant textbook on her desk and says, “I have to know all of that by Thursday.”

- She asks you, “Hey, do you want to know [this]?” and you answer, “No,” and she tells you anyways.

- After thirty minutes of silence she pipes up, “I gave two units of blood today.”
