You know that nursing school has officially taken over your entire life if:While exercising on your treadmill with Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" playing through your iPod, you subconsciously correct Jon's lyric, "...I need a respirator because I'm running out of breath..." Because you know that technically, that is incorrect.... He needs a "Ventilator." Because as a good nursing student you know that the "respirator" he is referring to meerly fills the lungs with air (ventilates); it does nothing to facilitate the exchange of gasses (respirate).
