Dude... Time to grow up. You wanna be in this line of work. Act like an adult. Not some kid who fights, sleeps around, bleeds and brags.

I do competative MMA, so a bunch of my friends enjoy going at it with me. I still have no idea what enticed him to pick up the bottle, but its a moot point.

Also, my actions off-duty, in a friends house, with no patients around certainly doesnt (and shouldn't) reflect on my professionalism with patients. I'm still extremely young, compared to some here. To compare, I start my freshman year of college in a week. I enjoy having fun, especially while I still can. But, to reiterate, I am not violent or crude, or in any way immature when dealing with patients.


And happy birthday tigger! Hope it was a great one!

Then quit bragging about your shenanigans.
 
Got off BLS just in time. One of my favorite BLS units was ummm let's call it forced to go out of service :sad:
 
We have had 52 earthquakes in the past 36 hours that all were 3.0 or bigger (the biggest was 5.3). Our disaster team is on stand by to be deployed. The hospital in the town where all the earthquakes have been has been evacuated.

The big one is coming and California is going to separate from the main land :rofl:
 
Oh please just let from Sacramento south drop off into the ocean, we northerners have been wanting to seperate the state for generations anyways :cool:

Just looked at the USGS map for the last 2 days. Have to say that is an impressive amount of quakes so localized

Don't quit. We were all young and full of piss & vinegar at some point. There were those who told us the same thing and somebody who told them and so on. This is the natural progression of things. You have to be young, crazy, and
braggadocious to get the life experiences that provide wisdom. So be crazy and enjoy life (off duty of course).
 
As if applying for jobs wasn't enough, I just picked up my application for grad school. Ahhh stressed out

I have to decide which program I want. At my school you are allowed to apply for your MSN and have until after your first year to declare which program since all of the NPs have the same first two semesters. I am leaning towards ACNP. But I am applying now to be on the wait list for 2014.

Disagreed, I've never been what I consider to be "crazy". I've made bad choices, and learned from them like everyone else. But saying that you "have to be young and crazy" at some point, is quite frankly, stupid.

Exactly.

In other news:

I just asked a medic that I work with, about bundle branch blocks. She replied with " we didn't have to learn that. All you need to know is how to recognize a STEMI." then replied with " I don't treat people anyway. I'll give ASA and nitro but I am not doing much more than that. It's not worth the risk".

*sigh*

It's also the environment you grow up in. Most of my friends are huge partiers, a few are serious druggies (I don't approve, but if they want to ruin their lives, they can). I'm friends with very few people who don't have one vice or another (alcohol, fighting, tattoos, etc), and a lot of them are/were crazy. Some grew up quick, some didn't.

At any rate, I didn't mean to impose all my stories.

In better news, getting my next tattoo in a couple of days. :cool:
