I recently had a patient going for a kyphoplasty, and she was convinced the doctors were going to inject seamen into her spine. She completely misunderstood when the doctor said "cement" and heard semen instead.

I've got plantar faciitis as well, and I just bought some Danskos a few months ago, and I absolutely recommend them. They are very supportive, and they have never hurt my feet. They have wide sizes as well as regular. And the patterns are fabulous. I have been told that they last forever as well. Before Danskos I was going through sneakers every 6 months and my feet would hurt by the end of the night. The only complaint I have is sometimes I step wrong and twist my ankles with them. But overall, I have had good experiences with them.

You know you're a nurse when you find stashes of band-aids and sterile gauze in purses you aren't using "just in case" anything were to happen. (I made this discovery the other day. haha).

I graduated in May 2009, and I just FINALLY got a nursing job. I had to move to another state and 5 and 1/2 hours away from home to get a job, but at least it's a foot in the door. Before that I was working at Kohl's Department Stores to try to make some extra money. This economy sucks so much. Good luck to you and to all the new grads who still don't have jobs!!!

I hear you. I graduated in May 2009 and passed the NCLEX in September 2009, and I still have not been hired. Every interview I have gone too, another "more qualified" person has been hired over me. It is extremely frustrating and a bit depressing sometimes. I've been working at a department store because I need to make money to try to pay off my loans. Luckily my parents have been very supportive and good throughout this whole mess. Every job posting asks for at least a year of experiance, but how are we supposed to gain experiance when no one will hire us? I wish you, and everyone else here who is having trouble, luck in getting a job. Hopefully things will open up soon...
