So I'm watching the Saw series, and whenever somebody gets ****ed up, all I could think of is how I could still save them before they REALLY die, using surgical techniques.

I'm working. sigh. no patients in critical condition tonight. I did get to start an IV though (yay!). Too bad it took me two tries (boo!). :laugh:

...so I'm just watching the Olympics mixed in with some European soccer highlights. That dude from Barcelona is amazing.

I wish I could sleep. I hate waking up 2 hours after going to bed so my brain is like 'ok, we're all done!'

Bleh.

I was just told by a doc the other day that he thought he once read that smart people need less sleep. His example was Divinci....who said that he only needed about 2hrs of sleep a night. Dont know if what he is saying is true...but we'll just believe it. Consider yourself mensa material. 🙂

I wish I only needed two hours of sleep; instead of only getting two hours of sleep and feeling like poop in lecture and lab.
 
If you sleep so that you maximize REM sleep, you can sleep less than 4 a day and still function. You have to know the sleep pattern though so you don't waste sleeping on shallow sleep.
 
falling asleep in the morning after work is the hardest. 👎

well, sorta...

working all night and the sleeping during class is easy.
working all night and then going home to my bed is tough (too many distractions I suppose).

Sometimes I use promethazine....but that's neither here nor there.

Sleep is always the best when you have a big feather bed, a hot rice pack, and no obligations for at least 24hrs. 😴
 
does anyone in the late night crew have a midas blenny?

the unit is empty so I have to float to the medical floor at midnight, because they staffed a full house with a LPN and a new nurse grad. sweet, charge nurse and 16 pts. way to go management, way to go. 🙄

Pretty sure it varies school to school. I would *think* that you are most likely to be tested prior to your 3rd year when you will be working in the hospital.

In nursing school, the only ones that were tested were the ones who rotated through a certain hospital that required it. Probably the same, or similar for med school. You'd probably be better off asking this question in the allo forum (if you dare), or you could search it cause I believe its been threaded.

Just get the fake pizz and don't give anyone a reason to suspect you. 😉
 
gearing up for another late night.


two random thoughts:

1) I love listening to the coaches "yell" at their athletes in all these different languages during the shooting/skiing events. It reminds me of Toe Jam n' Earl for some reason.

2) Pinky toe shouldn't have toenails. They are basically nonexistent anyway and so dang hard to file.

Lol. Same here.

I was planning on going to sleep 30 minutes ago and then I got on here.😛
 
Excel's annoying the hell out of me. Ugh! I don't understand why it won't multiply properly...

bleh. I took an excel class once. and I still have major difficulties with it.
 
umm... start your equation off with = then type the first number followed by * and then finsh with the last number and hit enter... works every time.
 
It is late and SDN is so boring tonight... need some good new threads.

I'm "working" too... no smokes for me though... could go for a beer. At my last job I'd go to the roof and split a six with a partner in crime or two on the summer nights. Those were the days...
 
Hmm let's see:

Cons of this week:
-waitlisted from my alma mater
-bf's mom is in ICU because of 76/50 bp after colostomy

Pros of this week:
-10 continuous hours of playing Mass Effect 2
-HPSP scholarship application lasts for two entire years!

Hey at least I don't have to work right? Oh wait what do you call 12 hours of volunteering, 15 hours of shadowing, 6 hours of classes, and 8 hours of tutoring per week?

Premed limbo = hell. Abandon all hopes, ye who enter here.

*continues playing mass effect 2 all night*

76/50... Sounds like it's time for some fluids and blood.

Odd. That alone doesn't generally meet criteria to be admitted to an ICU. Not too terrible of a BP (hard to tell since we don't know her "norm") but I'm guessing the map here is close to 60 or above = adequate perfusion.

If it was a small rural hospital just about anything "abnormal" could land you in the ICU.
 
<---- is eating cheeze puff :zip:
 
So late ... so night.
 
I love hospital bacon. At least the bacon at my hospital. Even after 16 pieces of bacon and a softball sized portion of cheesy eggs with sausage and mushrooms I could gladly eat more hospital bacon. All that for $2.37... the bacon alone would cost that much at the local grocery.
