15 Signs You’re a Fairfield Nursing Student

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

1. On the first day of Med Surg you have a 15-question math calculations test.

2. Syllabus week doesn’t exist.

3. When someone asks you how you did on a test you automatically increase your grade by 10 points to sound smart.

4. You nap before any of your roommates even get up for their first class.

5. When we walk into clinical every patient and nurse says “THE RED COATS ARE HERE,” or some other joke about our red scrubs.

6. Our poor roommates have to be our dummies before every practical.

7. It’s all fun and games until your patient has C. Diff.

8. On clinical days, having a 3 p.m class is a death sentence.

9. 5:30 a.m clinicals are the new 8 a.m’s. On a related note, we have no sympathy for other majors. 

10. We love our daily e-mails from Cathy Tuttle. 

11. SON 203 is your second home.

12. You’ve struggled to get the last bubble out of a syringe.

13. You get more action from the dummies in the sim lab than from your boyfriend.

14.  You dread hearing these words  during a practical: “I’m going to have to stop you right there.”

15. You’ve regreted looking at your notes right after a test.
