RN in the ER


Steve,
Any advice for a young man thinking about nursing as a career. My son just started Delta and is thinking about going into nursing....well at least that is the career choice of the month . He knows he wants to get his bachelors in whatever he chooses as a career, but I am wondering if he should go through the AA program, start working, and then finish his degree. I honestly think he would be great in this profession. I'm trying to get him to do a job shadow with one of the ER nurses that my mom works with (she's an ER nurse as well).

Hello All,

I wanted to jump in and say hello to everyone. I'm Laura, Steve's wife and I am really beginning to get excited for our cruise. Steve talks so much about everyone on here that I started feeling left out so of course I had to get to know you for myself. Thank you for sharing your photos and previous cruise experiences with us.

Welcome! I keep telling my hubby he should join up too, but that might mean I'd have to shre the pc

I
We've been using the Princesses on the ship as a tool for potty training (Now, Leah, In order to go to the kids clubs and see the Princesses, you need to use the potty!) Worked great, but now that she is potty trained, she is dying to go on the cruise.

It will be soooo funny if she tells a princess that she's been pooping in her potty just so she gets to see her

No. Just divisible by 15.

Jeff, you kill me

I decided I was going to start in our closet (which was a diaster) to look for garage sale stuff and my tag bags. I cleand and organized it and found some garage sale things. I wraped about 10 x-mas gifts (yes I am ahead of schedual). Our closet looks wonderful. Of course the last bag I went through had my tag bags in it. I found them. It took me about 2 hours to do our closet

You are waaaaaaaaay to organised - my house is in chaos at the moment. I cant wait til Ellis goes back to school so I can tackle the house, packing, t shirts etc...I'm normally sooooo organised

Yes. October 2006. They post very slow. One here, one there. Just keeping it active. We should do the same with this one once are cruise is done (yes people, are cruise will end).

I sure hope everyone will keep posting - its not as if we talk about the cruise much anyway - you all feel like friends to me...I for one will happily come and bump ou thread daily

First though, someone's child swallowed a paper clip at school and they had to wait for it to pass and retrieve it.

Do you at least remembr the story now?

It was me again!

I think your Quote was from Karen.

well done - a poopy paper clip is the prize

I just booked this cruise today-and I've never done a DC before!! Do I have any hope whatsoever about catching up on this thread or is there a newbie thread I should try?
Any help is appreciated!! Thanks!!

Welcome! keep posting

OK COOL NEWS!!!!


SEAN PASSED HIS ROAD TEST!!!!

A dancing F.O.

 

[A fat english gent]

A young blonde, goes to her local pet store in search of an exotic pet. As she looks about the store, she notices a box full of live frogs. The sign says: "Sex Frogs! Only £20 each! Comes with complete instructions."
The blonde excitedly looks around to see if anybody's watching her. She whispers softly to the man behind the counter, "I'll take one."
The man packages the frog and says, "Just follow the instructions."
The blonde nods, grabs the box, and is quickly on her way home.
As soon as she closes the door to her flat, she opens the instructions and reads them very carefully. She does exactly what is specified:
1. Take a shower.
2. Splash on some nice perfume.
3. Slip into a very sexy nightie.
4. Crawl into bed and place the frog down beside you and allow the frog to follow its training!
She then quickly gets into bed with the frog and, to her surprise, nothing happens! The blonde is very disappointed and quite upset at this point. She re-reads the instructions and notices at the bottom of the paper it says, "If you have any problems or questions, please call the pet store." So, the blonde calls the pet store. The man says, "I'll be right over." Within minutes, the man is ringing her doorbell. The blonde welcomes him in and says, "See, I've done everything according to the instructions. The damn thing just sits there." The man, looking very concerned, picks up the frog, stares directly into its eyes and sternly says: "Listen to me! I'm only going to show you how to do this one more time!"

OR

A man had a son, but he was born as only a head. The man loved his son very much and took care of him, even though he was only a head. When the son turned 21, the man took him to a bar.

"One whiskey for my boy, barkeep!" said the man.

"You don't want to do that," said the bartender.

"He's a man, just turned 21! Get him a whiskey!" "I'm serious," the bartender insisted. "It's a bad idea."

"Just do it!" ordered the man.

So the bartender got the head a whiskey, and when he drank it, he sprouted a body! The head and his dad were excited, but the bartender wasn't pleased.

"Wow, another one of those for my boy!" yelled the man.

"It's a really bad idea," the bartender stated.

"Just give him a stupid whiskey! Geez, I'm payin', ain't I?" said the man, a little frustrated now.

So the bartender gave the son a whiskey, and he grew an arm! The father made the bartender give more whiskey to the head, and he grew another arm, a leg, another leg, and finally the head was a whole person.

The son was so excited that he ran into the street, screaming and shouting happily, and was hit by a car and died.

"I told you," the bartender said. "You should've quit while he was a head

OR

A tourist from Hong Kong went to a Bureau Du Change near his hotel in Manhattan and changed 1,000 Hong Kong Dollar into US currency. He received $128 US bucks.

The next day he went to the same Bureau and this time for HK$1000, he received US$120 only.

"Why the diffelence?" he asked.

"Fluctuations" said the teller.

"Well fluct you Amelicans too!!" said the tourist and stormed off.

OR

There was an elderly man at home, upstairs,
dying in bed.

He smelled the aroma of his favorite chocolate
chip cookies baking. He wanted one last cookie
before he died. He fell out of bed, crawled to
the landing, rolled down the stairs and crawled
into the kitchen where his wife was busily baking
cookies.

With his last remaining strength he crawled
to the table and was just barely able to lift
his withered arm to the cookie sheet. As he grasped
a warm, moist chocolate chip cookie, his favorite
kind, his wife suddenly whacked his hand with
a spatula.

Gasping for breath, he asked her, "Why did
you do that?"

"Those are for the funeral."

Sorry last one,this one is for our creator Steve....I need to keep on his good side as were staying at his before next years REPO

Bill Gates vs General Motors

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated:

"If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.

Like the next one!

7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

Tip - Save your old socks, underwear, swimsuits, etc and have them make a one way trip with you.

I am doing this one.

I do this too. And T shirts that are getting a bit tight on Ellis etc, trainers, pj's, everything goes and I then have loads of space to shop

My 1 day old tires are beautiful, aren't they?

Karen is home Tomorrow and has only 280 pages to catch up on...:mao: Hope they don't go on another page run tonight....

Still not caught up yet either - up to 1689 so far

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!!! (tomorrow)

HAPPY LABOUR DAY TO EVERYONE ACROSS THE POND!

Cass - Do you have labour day as well?

Thanks Heather. We're doing a grill out with the kids this afternoon and playing a few yard games. I'm also packing a few things for the cruise.

A man had a son, but he was born as only a head. The man loved his son very much and took care of him, even though he was only a head. When the son turned 21, the man took him to a bar.

If he was born with just a head, how did he know he was a boy? (Keep it clean Chris).

Great jokes Chris. Thanks for the 5:30 am giggle.

You didn't like my 3" floppy Nancy?....If this dosen't get Jeff out of hiding nothing will....

 

[Karen Mouse]

..........and here is the back..............................

Thats absolutelsy brilliant

Karen, Welcome Home!!!! I hope your vacation to Spain was wonderful. Please post pictures soon!!!!

Thank you! - still catching up - I'm now on page 1700 - not many more to go.

To all my sweet sweet DISfriends here who have been asking about Tony. He will be fine. As long as he follows the Dr's orders he should be ok. He does have a few serious issues going on, but they are all in his control. He has a good attitude and thankful that it didn't end up being something out of his control.



From the cntkg1 family.

Good to hear Nancy

 

[disgrits]

Happy Labor Day all........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN!!

As for turning 40, you're in good company for the cruise. We have a bunch turning 40.....I am in February. You know what they say, "With age, comes wisdom." Well, I say bring on the wisdom because I've been a dumba$$ for far too long!

Chris, funny jokes. I'm with Nancy, how do you know he's a man...he probably burped a lot......and probably still found a way to proposition women!
