11 Signs All Of Your Friends Are Nursing Students

It's a beautiful day to overhear a conversation about bodily functions.

11 Signs All Of Your Friends Are Nursing Students
Nurse Educator Praxis

As a college student who is not a nursing major, but is surrounded by friends who are, it is safe to say that I have learned a lot about how they operate. They have their quirks but we love them anyways.

Here's to my lovely friends who would rather get a new stethoscope than a new pair of shoes:

1. They always self-diagnose.

And they're normally right.

2. They are all OBSESSED with Grey's Anatomy.

"Oh I know what that is I just learned about that!", is a common phrase you hear when the show is on.

3. Thirsty Thursday's don't exist for them.

4. You know not to mess with them after they endured their clinical.

5. They have classes at the weirdest times.

No class on Tuesdays, clinical on Monday and Friday, and various lectures in between. It's a mess.

6. They're always stressed.

7. You learn a lot of medical terminology that you may or may not need to know later in life.

8. You go to them with all your medical concerns.

Does this mole look okay?

9. They can tell you just about everything about certain drugs.

And they mention them in typical conversation.

10. They don't get grossed out by anything.

11. They somehow always end up having four tests in the same week.

Which means you won't see them all week because they'll be in the library all week.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
