Did you lose about a gallon by the time you finished that half marathon? Yes, my knees were killing me around the 11th mile and afterwards. However, I finished and got a nice heavy metal medal.
Try running a half marathon. That will do it even if ya drank a cup of water every mile. It was great finishing, but I slept/ was unconscious for 3 days afterwards (except for eating, urinating, and pooping) recouping. lol Scary thing is that I reall...

Only union hospital I know in Memphis is the VA. I believe someone told me they had to be since they are federal. I know that does not really make any sense but I am informing you what I was informed.
Lol, my kinda nurse, practical! Or maybe idealistic since any car going 0-60 in 2.7 is going to cost an arm and a leg or 4. If you ever find that car, send me an e-mail and put one on hold for me! I'll just have to cough up some dough later to do a...

This is interesting. I was considering Vanderbilt Hospital because of how great it rep was given in US News&World Report. I knew it said magnet hospitals didn't always have the best pay but that was made up from a wonderful work enviroment. Howev...

But what's the cost of living? Any state income taxes? Base pay sounds sweet but that's only part of the pic. Now if the Cost of Living is like that of Memphis, I'd be game to move to Chicago... well, until I remember how sub-zero it gets that is!:uh...

My class started out w/ 10 guys and 100 females. We have lost about half. I've never heard of the "Meet the Parents" remark... I have not really heard any negative remarks. But then again, I do have a very sharp and sarcastic repartee at times. Try t...
My first semester, I remember a prof invited a BSN grad to come in and sit in on the class. The grad was then introduced and the prof said she was accepted in med school. So, yes, it is doable. As far as work, I doubt you will have time in med school...
Do you think you would ever go work for them in the future? If not, I would not worry too much about rescinding your acceptance. Like tddowney said of ppl changing jobs all the time. Things happen and many variables in our lives can change the presen...
I worked at the VA as a nursing assistant/extern/etc or whatever they or anyone else called it. I enjoyed working with the people and the patients were an interesting bunch. Some were great and others were an interesting challenge. However, because t...

Ilg made many valid points. From a business/hiring stand point, would you hire someone who is overqualified to work for less than they are worth and almost knowing for sure that the person is not going to stick around? Would you want a nurse w/ a B...
I started clinicals wearing some cheap $19 Wal-Mart brand white leather shoes. My knees, feet, and hips were killing me at the end of each clinical. Fortunately, I was able to scrape up enough money to buy some Merrill white mocs by end of clinicals ...
Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any summer internships available at their hospital or other hosiptals? Mount Sinai in NY has a program but I was looking at something closer to Florida. Here is the link in case you are wondering what I mean:...
