Nursing habits stay with you forever

With nursing,  you bring your job back home with you. When I'm making my bed, I tuck my sheets in with a hospital corner and I wash my hands in the same way I would just before I'm about to come in contact with a patient. I've noticed how much of the skills I carry out at work I also carry out in my personal life. 

It's difficult not to apply a plaster on a cut in a specific way or not to fluff pillows like you would when your making a hospital bed at work, and i still make a shift planner for my every day life as well as when I'm at work
I bet there are lots of bits of nursing that have crept into your everyday life and habits.  Are there any that you want to share?
