Being married to or living with a nurse is a very specific experience. It’s not like your friends, who may work 9-5 and have a predictable schedule. So if your soon-to-be spouse or roommate is a night shift nurse, get ready! This post was compiled with the help of my husband.
0830 – your nursey spouse/roommate gets home after their shift
0832 – while you’re trying to eat breakfast, they start telling you about their shift
0835 – they’re fighting to stay awake when you start talking
0837 – um. yea. they’re done
1200 – you come home for lunch ever so quietly
1210 – mid-lunch break your neighbor starts to mow his lawn and your nurse wakes up
