The more I hang around in the ER, the more interested I become in nursing.

I like knowing how and why things happen. Not only just how to keep the person stable until we get to the hospital.

You should try to shadow in an ICU. I am particularity fond of CT/CV ICU. There is nothing quite like managing a post op CABG patient with an open chest, Vented, IABP, and Multiple pressors/drips for 12 hours.

I have 16 hrs in either the ICU or CCU. I'll be doing those soon.

It's funny, the more time I spend in the ED, the happier I am that I didn't take everyone's advice and go to nursing school.

I love the idea of Critical Care nursing, but the thought of working with catty, snotty, burnt out nurses everyday makes me want to jab a pen in my eye.

At least when I'm on the medic unit, I can go out in the apparatus bay when I need some peace and quiet. :)

Nope no good. Our buttons are like particle accelerators if you cross the streams… It would be bad…

You drove 34 miles to go to redbox and rent a movie for a $1? And you are going to bring it back too?
Heard of Netflix?

Nearest Redbox to where I live is a 20 minute drive one-way.

Same here. I like living an hour away from the nearest McDonalds.

Ok, I'm not quite that bad. Nearest McDonalds takes me 50 minutes to get to.

Yup, I'm another one living out in the sticks.

It's like the Avada Kedavra curse. The streams would battle and the winner would live, but be left as a horcrux that the other would need to kill in order to get de-banned.

He's a moderator among moderators. You should see the mess whenever we do something wrong. Smileys everywhere, with asterisks and pound signs all over the floor.

And where do you think he gets the smilies from?

You don't have a ban button you have one of those huge floor levers like you see in old Frankenstein movies complete with sparks flying off of it as you manically slam it down as a wolf howls in the night and the lights flicker.

And where do you think he gets the smilies from?

The big smilie storage cabinet next to the CL break room?

Mock it if you want... but a WaWa Turkey Bowl is pretty damn good.

And it comes pre-digested for your convenience.

A convenience store is just that. A small store that carries essentials and junk food. There is a big difference between a gas station with 1 cooler of soda and 1 shelf of dusty candy bars and some of the nicer convenience stores.
