He had probably had a few drinks before the tatoos - many people that I know get them that way.

You know, this thread makes me think about how much I loved watching that commercial of all the women watching the sexy construction worker drink his coke. Guess I shouldn't have enjoyed it, huh?

Keep them talking - you can't have a nice conversation and tense up at the same time. I worked my way through college as a phlebotomist and it really helps to learn the correct angle of insertion - I worked with a lab tech who would jab it in straigh...

I agree fab4, my evil eye has helped me in many a difficult situation. Speak softly and carry a BIG stick!

I agree with Galaxy Quest - our favorite line is, "Is there air? You don't know!!!!" Legally Blonde, What Women Want, That 70's Show, Reba ... Also, it is a lot of fun to get down and play video games with your kids - Spyro is a blast! Yesterday we ...

Those were really good! Thanks!

You know, the nursing home may be willing to hire 16 year olds. They have such a difficult time getting and keeping staff. It's worth a try. I loved working in the nursing home during my teen years. (Of course that was 20 years ago! )

I too agree with the others. Get some different experience, but definitely let her know you want to return there and enjoy working there. Good luck!

Just curious - what kind of nursing jobs have regular hours? (like 9-5). I am pretty sure Dr.'s offices would, but do they hire new grads or do they want a lot of experience under your belt? My husband is a lithotripsy tech and has to leave for wor...

Never lived there, but dated a guy from there and visited frequently: Has a major college - East Carolina Pretty large town with most anything you could need. 30-40 minutes from the beach. Pretty remote area surrounding the town, so if you like the ...

My best friend and I volunteered at the local nursing home every summer in high school and I've been hooked ever since. When you buy something new or watch a good movie it makes you feel good for a little while, but when you've helped make a person...

Wow, this has been an enlightening thread! I am the PTA President of my child's school, and after reading this will definitely find out whether our teachers know CPR - and if not then our PTA will pay for it! That's what the PTA is for - protecti...

Central NC - any work schedule you could desire.

Well, I just spent four years raising 2 kids & working part time to get my hubby through grad school and he sure better be supportive of me when I go back this fall! I'm sure he will be supportive, he has begged me for years to go back to schoo...

Welcome MaryLuAn!

I sure hope not! I'll be 36 when I start next fall after all my pre-reqs.

Hey Nurse2bSandy! I just had to write because our stories are so alike. I too dropped out of nursing school because I was too young to handle the stress of it and got married! I will be taking my pre-reqs this fall and starting back to nursing sch...

Whatever you do, just be honest and up front - ask your supervisor what he/she thinks you should do. By putting the ball in their court it will show them that you are dependable and not just wimping out.

Congratulations! You'll be a in no time at all!

Good luck to you Gracey! I know you're excited!

I don't want to wear white because I am "pleasantly plump" and would look the michelin man in them! :imbar I think what bothers me more than anything is the fact that non-medical employees wear scrubs to work - what is that about? I think it's real...

:biggringi Welcome to the Party! :balloons:

OK, Baby Girl and Heather - I apologize if you read my post wrong. I was in no way being negative or trying to upset anyone! My point was that I really like the messages that have a title so I know if I'm interested or not. I have a REALLY SLOW c...

Rayrae, I think sensitivity is very important for being a nurse. I sure don't want someone unfeeling taking care of me. The important thing is learning to deal with it in a strong manner and not have see through skin. As to the selfish part, if y...

Here, Here! And an Amen too!
