- You find gloves & a catheter kit in your car and you don't think twice about it.
- When you have your head on your man's chest and you immediately notice his heart beat and you start listening for the lub-dub just to make sure his ticker is working properly.
- You care more about your feet being comfortable and pain free than how cute your work shoes are. Whoever said pain is the price you pay for beauty has obviously never stood on their feet for 12 hours straight.
- Almost every joke that you tell is some how medical or science related and none of your friends get it but you still laugh uncontrollably at your own joke.

| Sent from heaven!!! |
- During a boring conversation, you completely miss what the other person is saying because you are now staring at their arm thinking "Would you look at that vein...I could hit it with a butterfly easily."
- You find that your stomach doesnt get quite so many butterflies, you dont break into a nervous sweat, and you dont immediately start brainstorming for an excuse to get out of it (you think about what skills you havent gotten signed off in your passport book first) when your clinical instructor or nurse asks you to do a skill involving the lower regions.
- You have now come to the realization that pretty much everything you did in clinicals first semester was what the CNA does...thank god for that.
- Clinical has now turned into a man hunt for the worst patient possible just so you will have a higher chance of being able to stick someone.
- Classmates are now bragging about what skills they've done.
- Your clinical instructor now laughs at you if you ask them if you need to be signed off before you can give oral meds by yourself.
- When your chest feels weird you immediately get your stethoscope out to make sure your heart and lung sounds are still normal.
But unfortunately, I've still only used my bandage scissor to open my mayonnaise packet at lunch.
