I was just out for a run (tip: NEVER run after you eat vast quantities of Vietnamese food!) and made up this list of how running is like nursing school. But first, I note that two people EACH found this blog by searching for “stethoscope boob” and “testis trivia.” Stethoscope boob….?
OK: How Running Is Like Nursing School
1. Sometimes it makes you want to puke.
2. It makes you get up super early really often.
3. It seems like a better idea before you actually start doing it.
4. Doing it makes you feel virtuous, even if you’re not very talented at it.
5. When you do it, you often end up smelling bad.
6. You stand an excellent chance of injuring your knees and back.
7. You’re never quite sure where the next obstacle will pop up.
8. You have constant opportunities to fall publicly on your face.
9. You are usually wondering, “How much longer?”
10. You need special shoes that you don’t wear for anything else.
Whew!
Good list. I found your blog by the search terms, “breast exam” and “nursing student.”
actually .. that’s pretty much what NURSING is, not just nursing school!
This is a hilarious list — Love it! (And: you’re running again!)
Nicely done!
