As a pre-nursing student edging towards nursing school,I find that my friends who are nurses tell me to get the largest travel coffee cup.I dont like coffee,its too bitter and I dont like the aftertaste.They tell me that I will need something extra then my usual glasses of water and green tea.They say that they could not have survived nursing school without coffee.I guess I will just have to prove them wrong.Any nurses who couldnt live without coffee?Any nurses who grew to love coffee?
I love coffee, but coupled with stress and large amounts of chips and salsa for study sessions my stomach began to resent the combination. I gave up coffee and left chips for just a day a week and I have done pretty well. I do not need coffee to start my day but if I really need that extra wake-me-up-please, I have my tea selection and works fantastic.
I love good coffee. I'm not drinking crap coffee, but my family once owned a coffee shop. I once told a man I was dating (I already knew he didn't like coffee) that I never trusted anyone who didn't like dogs or coffee just to watch him squirm.
Be the rebel. Drink your tea. I'll keep my coffee and my tea.

Exactly! Why do people tell other people they NEED to pick up a habit they didn't already have? I'Ve been a nurse for 10 years and a mom for almost 16 and have never drank a drop of coffee! It's not a job requirement!
