Get outta here OORAH, I was an AAV crewman with second tracks in Lejeune. Nice to see a fellow gator in the mix. Of course I didnt fix em, I just drove em and broke em, but its good to meet you. YATYAS!!

WELCOME!! Congratulations ARMY on choosing a great career field. I was in the Marines for 4 years and then recalled in 2003 for 6 months before deciding on becoming a nurse. I am now staring down the barrel of graduating in May with my ASN and (God ...

Well, I guess its settled. There is only one course of action left to us. We have to find the OP and put her to death. Afterall, we cant have people going around making mistakes in this day and age now can we?

I am just finishing my first semester of school but i am having a hard time dealing with what one of my instructors is "preaching" in her class. She seems to want to portray physicians as the enemy of nurses, and she is basically giving these young i...

Well, I just got done with my first clinical on Thursday and I must say, it was EXCELLENT!!! I come from a military/law enforcement background and I was not sure if I was cut out for nursing, but I have got to tell ya, I dig this gig. My pt even said...

You are correct, bad experiences have jaded my perspective. Forgive me. And yes I realize not all women are like that. I was exagerating.

Yes. I didnt want to believe it either..... but sadly it is true. Even though EVERY girl will deny it...... they always fall prey to the jerkoffs and defend their choice until the bitter end.

I agree with daytonite. I am 32 and just getting into the game just the same as you are. By the time I have 20 years of experience I will be thinking about retiring and probably be on oxygen therapy, :wink2: . You are going to make it through. Jus...

Wow!! The plot thickens....... heh heh. Thanks for sharing that update. I wonder if the husbands trial will be on court tv.

Heh heh, our first day of actual classes....... we gave eachother bed baths in lab.... :uhoh21: Talk about breaking the ice!!! Everyone here is really cool though and I am having a great time. Have a great semester everyone. Bolt

I am very sorry for your loss. I will pray for you and your friend and her family. Only God knows His perfect will and to us it seems unfair and sad at times, but I pray that you will keep your faith strong and that you would use this trial in your...

I am starting clinicals in a week and we are going to have 2 students per one patient. Of course we are in our first semester and just getting to know the ropes, but if I were in that situation of having 5 to deal with by myself I would be nervous, b...

I agree it is a bad situation all the way around and it is a shame that this nurse will have to live with the fact that she killed a person with her own hands. That being said, just because she was calm and collected right after the incident does not...

Thanks for the link. I didnt know it was so old, I havent checked here in a while. Bolt

That is priceless. As for criminal prosecution for the RN, I dont know the details of the case, but here in MI the intruder, since armed (even with a hammer) committed 1st degree home invasion which is punishable by life in prison. In MI you have a "...

Maybe.......... muhhuhhuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!! I used the "do you like apples?" joke on my neighbor. Maybe I am just coming back from a date with her where we went miniature golfing, muhuhuhhahahahahahahahahahahahaah!!!!!

Funny story that just happened to me tonight. I was at Hooters with some friends for trivia night and my neighbor who has always given me crap about going into nursing pulls one of the Hooters girls aside and asks what she thinks about a man who is ...

CHANGE YOUR UNDERWEAR!!!???!!!??? If I dont have any accidents during the week why should I change anything? JK Bolt

I just wanted to get any input from guys or girls out there who have experience with male RNs who have long hair or facial hair in school or hospitals. I know it varies greatly according to policy at that particular place, but I just wanted to get a ...

I wore pantyhose in HS when I played football and they indeed cut down on chaffing and kept my legs warm as well. Again in the US Marines I wore them for long marches in order to prevent chaffing/blisters and occaisionally in the field for warmth. I ...

Thats funny you should say that, when I am substitute teaching for HS kids I always try to be a grumy old man toward them (all a big act) and I always say, "remember, the only stupid question, is the one YOU ask." They all know I am kidding and I get...

Just writing to see if there are any past, current, or future students who will be going to Danville for Thomas Jefferson Univ ASN program in Fall 2006. I and a friend were just accepted and will be moving from Michigan in July. If there are any alum...

excellent! It's nice to "meet" you too. I am not so nervouse about going away as I am about getting through the school and doing well. It looks like a really good program and my friend who is heading out there with me has lots of family in the imme...

First of all let me apologize if I offended anyone, that was not what I was trying to do. I am also not trying to force anyone to my point of view on the issue because as we both know many people are extremly passionate about this issue on both sides...
