3. Fun: Coke or Pepsi Nurses?

   vegas2009 replied to Brian's topic in Humor

   Regular Pepsi and Diet Coke. But, I've considerably have cut down on soda during the recent months. I hardly drink it anymore. However, summer is coming up -- so that can change. I don't know yet.

4. What will you do with your RN license?

   vegas2009 replied to Katie71275's topic in General Students

   IF I ever get into nursing, I would say either ER or cardiovascular. I know I have to work my way to them, but I'm willing to do that though. Surgery looks interesting too, but I might get grossed out (lol), too close to internal organs and such. ...

5. My girlfriend is afraid that I might meet another girl in the nursing program...

   vegas2009 replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the little chuckle I got from ur post! TeeHee... :DHere's the 411: Nursing school is hard. I remember when I was there, I was always stressed showing up for clinicals, lectures, labs and it didn't matter who the professor was. My stomach...

   vegas2009 replied to hwozni00's topic in Student Assist

   Several years ago, I knew a girl (woman) who actually exceled in her master's program. She worked as a pharmacist (had her bachelor's) and eventually decided to work on her master's. She attended one of the most competitive schools in the United S...

7. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

   vegas2009 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

   Nope. However, I definitely agree that we should eat a balanced diet to do our jobs (any kind). For example, I just fixed my slight computer problem (which I created earlier, since I was distracted watching TV). It was driving me nuts, because I co...

8. I either need day shift or to be single. Vent

   vegas2009 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

   Yea just tell him what's bothering you (it's how u say it, so be calm). Tell him nicely, like how you would want someone to talk to you (honestly, this strategy works). Eventually, he'll get it. I work nights as well, not as a nurse though. I can...

9. Was asked if I was bisexual?!?!?

   vegas2009 replied to caregiver1977's topic in Ob/Gyn

   this is what you should have said: Hmm, why is that an invitation? lol... then give her a wink and a smile! haha

10. Can someone explaine dimensional analysis to me?

    vegas2009 replied to Pia Mater's topic in Student Assist

    Dimensional analysis is. . . when you think you got something right, then you DON'T. Because you don't, you have to withdraw from your nursing program. That's what dimensional analysis is! Then, you end up more confused than ever, lol.

12. money

    vegas2009 replied to Anktshah's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. The problem is, it's just getting ridiculously harder and harder to get in to nursing programs now (I don't know why), since nursing jobs aren't falling from the sky! A potential nursing student works and invests his/her time on doing pre-re...

13. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    vegas2009 replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I guess one can look at it that way. I can only control what I do, not what others do. My CI was another issue. The class liked her, who am I to say anything? -- seriously. CI was nice and approachable, period. As for those two -- I'm sure they...

14. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    vegas2009 replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, them two would never admit that. They acted like they were doing something/concerned when the CI was around. The two were at the patient's bedside when CI shows up. They made sure of this. They were standing by me, while I did the work. Since I...

15. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    vegas2009 replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Because that's the way the school had it set up. Our class total was only 7 people. One guy dropped out on the last day that we practiced at our school campus. Then, we were sent out to our clinical rotation (wherever they tell us to go). So, on...
