  1. Some musings about reading posts here...

    If I knew the grammar Nazi's were on patrol this evening I would have spelled out two lol. Yes I put lol at the end on purpose. I read my responses on AIM and I can't believe the way I type when using it. I don't shortcut words like are or you but I...
  2. Some musings about reading posts here...

    Damn! :selfbonk: Actually I didn't even know that buffoon was in the dictionary.
  3. What did you sacrifice to get where you are?

    My grandpa worked for Ford. My dad worked for Ford. I have 2 uncles that work for Ford. If it wasn't made by a Ford company (i.e. Lincoln, Volvo) it's not getting parked in my garage. Well I probably wouldn't toss out a Ferrari if there was one parke...
  4. Some musings about reading posts here...

    I see botching the English language as a indicator of IQ level. Any bafoon can tell you that "your" and "you're" have 2 entirely different meanings, yet most bafoons fail to treat them as such when typed or written. I absolutely loathed the last week...
  5. What did you sacrifice to get where you are?

    I sold my Mustang my second year into school because the reliability just wasn't there. Racing and going to car meets was all I knew and you're right, it's a lifestyle change. It's amazing how much a simple thing like a car can affect your life huh? ...
  6. I have been contemplating on taking a few lower level EMT courses at a local community college next semester. My school's program has us taking only one nursing course plus our clinicals next semester, and besides taking another class or two for my s...
  7. EMS 100: This lecture course presents the technical knowledge and skills necessary for certification as a Basic Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-B). This course focuses on Basic Life Support (CPR), airway management, poisoning emergencies, splinti...
  8. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    It depends on the level of rudeness. I deal with rude people every single day working retail. If they're not too bad, I kill them with kindness. Don't let their behavior be reflected in how you react; smile, have an upbeat tone in your voice, and whe...
  9. Any former/current pharmacy techs around?

    I work in the photolab of a drug store. I've considered becoming a pharmacy tech, but the hours don't match up well to what I can do and what my budget demands. I can tell you that one skill you'll pick up really quickly is learning to deal with irat...
  10. Delivering lab specimens...what do you think?

    You are absolutely right to refuse it. I know it's an EXTREMELY unlikely scenario, but just think if you were transporting HIV-infected blood and you were involved in a rollover and the vile or what not burst and mixed with your blood. I always pick ...
  11. Help!! I need info!!!

    I just ordered one about a month ago. I'm only 21, and the report shows me never existing before age 18 and 2 months lol. From what I believe I know, nothing before the age of 18 will show up criminally. And from what my report shows, I guess address...
  12. Morgellon's Disease

    That is something straight out of a science fiction movie I tell ya! Very interesting to say the least.
  13. Being constantly busy is sure to make you lose weight, but it's not a good method. There's gotta be some rhyme to your rythym; set up a plan and stick to it. Bag lunches instead of driving through McD's, head to the gym a few times per week, drink di...
  14. It's almost 4 AM and I'm bored so I figured I'd ask. I have neurocardiogenic syncope, but I didn't know this until a recent tilt-table test. For years I've been on phenytoin for what was (as anyone's best guess) diagnosed as a seizure disorder. My f...
  15. Did you lose weight?

    I started college and lost 22 lbs my first semester, and I ate fast food every single day. Granted I worked out 2-3 times per week, but I held the same diet (if not worse) and lost weight. If you're not doing some form of exercise besides stressing y...
  16. MySpace is the devil.
  17. Wearing scrubs home??

    I'm a firm believer in leaving the scrubs at the hospital, ever since I was in a vocational medical class in high school. We had to change into our street clothes from our scrubs and bag the scrubs before we could come back to the classroom. If you w...
  18. Paitent Coded; All Went Poorly

    I sure haven't read anything good about LTCF's on here. I guess that's one field I'll try and stay away from!
  19. Any WSU graduates or current students here?

    The application process is pretty simple. Once you turn in your application, you have to write a goal statement (personal essay). I have a 3.31 right now and I got in, but I also did volunteering at VA Hospital and Children's hospital and I only had ...
  20. I've done 3 years of my undergrad at WSU and I'll be starting the traditional BSN program this fall there as well. Anyone else in the same boat as me, or are any of you folks graduates from WSU? Just curious.
  21. Any WSU graduates or current students here?

    WSU's credits transfer very well to HFCC because they'll eat up anybody they can from the area. I bet they will transfer 99% of credits from U of M Dearborn lol. My program officially starts on September 6th. It's only 3 days/week and I live in DH, a...
  22. why all the rudeness?

    Don't let him to get to you. There's 157,000+ other members here you could get along with just fine. You don't have to be everyone's friend. Learn to blow off ignorance and rude people and you'll find that forums are much more enjoyable. I could thin...
  23. why all the rudeness?

    Eh, you must not be on many forums. I'm a big car enthusiast and I'm registered on one of the largest Mustang forums online (~85K users) and you see that same behavior on there all the time. This forum has a bit under double the number of users, so I...
