You know your mom is a nurse when…

10. She asks if you’ve had a bowel movement recently.

9. She asks you to describe the pain on a scale from 1 to 5.

8. She tells you to drink lots of clear fluids.

7. She cuts everything with bandage scissors.

6. It takes her a few minutes to empty her pockets after work.

5. She comes home with bar codes stuck to her uniform.

4. You are used to seeing her after a 12-hour shift.

3. She doesn’t have holidays off and never gets to leave during a large storm.

2. She can give you the dosage and generic name of a drug off the top of her head.
