:imbar Ok, so I am at the hospital to get my drug test for LPN school. All I had to do, was pee in the cup!! I mean, I get up at least 4 or 5 times in the nite to pee! But NO! 2 hours, count them, 2 hours I was at the hospital trying to get the urge!!! Tried it the first time but the lady said I didn't give her enough!! And then she proceeded to pour it out!! So I go and get a soda, wait about 45 minutes, then try again! Of course this time she has to go in the bathroom with me, and you can only guess how attractive this was!!! Now I do less than the time before. So I tell her, hey, I'm done for the day! I mean, its 3:30 in the afternoon, I figure I would'nt go again until bedtime!! (I actually went again at 7:00 pm.) So I get to go and humilate myself again Monday after classes. I figure I will try to hold it after lunch until 3:00pm. Do you think I should take a change of clothes or maybe a Depends to class Monday!!!! I hope this is how men feel when they can't "rise" to the occassion!!!!LOL:imbar Sorry Put in wrong Forum!!!

Ahhhhh yes, nothing like a little performance anxiety, eh? And of course it doesn't help that they hover over you like you're a criminal. I know they're just doing their job. Heck, I've even been in their shoes, the one hovering over the poor scared p*sser! But it's still an uncomfortable experience, no matter how you look at it!
Good luck to you on Monday! I'll be anxiously holding my own bladder until I hear you could go

This always happens to me! I can't even go in a public restroom when there are others in the bathroom, unless I plug my ears! Isn't that weird? I don't understand why plugging my ears would help, but it seems to every time!

When I was in Peru, we took a bus up this mountain road to 14,000 ft (took about 2 hours). Of course I was in the back of the bus (since I don't get motion sickness) and my bladder has been beaten to death. I had to go ... bad!... and there was no bathroom. So, we decide to go in the grass behind the building. I had the hardest time going in the field with two other women.

You dear are suffering from Nurses Bladder
Not that it is a bad thing
you will now be able to:
Hold it for 8 straight hours and not flinch when water is running
Be able to drink a big gulp without a second thought of where is the closest bathroom
Be hired immediatly for Surgery staff
Be on the next kagel excersice instructors list
And able to leap a crash cart in a single bound and sneeze without leakage.
Now granted that doesnt seem like much but trust me it comes in handy , but this sadly lasts for only 20 yrs then you will need a bladder tack and some depends and incontinece training because your bladder walls are worn so thin from the 20 yrs of holding it in
Love to ya
