| Today was a day i'll never forget. 4th to last day of clinicals before graduation, my baby turned blue on me. i walked in at the nick of time to find my infant in one of the rooms choking and turning blue.as i was just trying to wipe the spit up off, the baby turned cynaotic...and struggled to breathe. it gave out a 2 weak cries and had the most horrific look on his face. my heart pounded out of my chest. my nursing instincts came in, everything i learned in CPR class. Airway, breathing, circulation! SUCTION!, patting, stimulation, oxygen. after i called for help, nurses came in and brought the baby over to nursery. baby was stable and was put on oxygen. baby was back to normal. cannot believe 3 years of nursing school and its winding down to the last straw, i got put at the maximum test, to save an infant's life. | | |

|  Psychiatric Nursing My Stanford rotation in the Psych ward is finally done... lets say ALL my rotations are done.. now what's left is my preceptorship. all these intense moments and all these fields they stuck me into, made me realize i want to do one thing, and one thing only!- OBGYN, LABOR DELIVERY, MOTHER BABY, NURSERY!. and congrats to myself, i got my preceptorship there at Kaiser Santa Teresa next semester doing what I love. now let's go on a little about what happened this semester.. I won't go into exact details but i can tell you this. PSYCH IS NOT FOR ME! So much suicidal attempts, anorexia, psychotic people... MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER, bipolar, schizophrenia, manic depressive...i honestly can't handle it. can you handle people being strapped down, on lock down unit, with cameras in every corner, with alarms bells.. potential to hurt you and others. haha okay seriously its not as bad as it sounds. Up to this date, my most interesting case is still the multiple personality disorder one. dealing with people that have MANY different alters and they can transform into different people under different influences. and everyday when you talk to them, they posses as a different person or "alter".. they introduce with a different name and act according to the age of their alters.. "sometimes a male, sometimes a female, somtimes a child, sometimes an adult". or people telling you they hallunicate and hear things that arent there. or someone with a plan of suicide. their EXACT plan, in details, all plot out..you hear it on the news how people tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train.. guess where they end up after the intensive care unit.. yup u guessed... PSYCH WARD! so many near death suicides... so many i've seen and heard. or people speaking you in a hyperverbal manic way doing psychotic acts, crumbling papers in their hand, screaming that everyone is out there to get them/ harm them.. or people who just down right starve themselves until they are stick thin.. don't think its what a typical 23 year old can handle right? remember in the movie Batman. Do you ever wonder why joker smacks his lips back and forth. Tardive dyskinesia is the term. it is a side effect of anti-psychotic medication, the lip smacking motion. this proves that the joker is indeed psychotic, and psych nurses pick up on these things hahah I can't do ICU Burn unit either. After witnessing a code blue, the surgery team performed surgery stat on the table and stuck a tube in this guy with a hemothorax after i just watched his heart plunged into a really low value..you have people who have 3rd degree burns.. burnt to black crispy skin. .. i can't do it... or having someone with spinal cord injury after a severe motorcycle crash in the ICU unit. with ventilators and litearlly 7 tubes in and out of them. breathing by a machine. after all of this, i think i'll enjoy labor and delivery, postpartum more than anything. the joy of birth oh i love. the joy of babies, bring me smiles. i give major kuddos to nurses who can handle ICU, Burn, and Psych nursing. major kuddos. all in all, experience is AMAZING. i wouldn't give it up for anything. for all the things i've seen, you might realize how good you have it. and how amazing it is to be alive, well and living. | | |
| THIS APPEARED ON CRAIG'S LIST - YOU MUST READ THE ANSWER!!
What am I doing wrong? Okay, I'm tired of beating around the bush. I'm a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I'm articulate and classy. I'm not from New York. I'm looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don't think I'm overreaching at all.Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could youSend me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 -250. But that's where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won't get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she's not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level? Here are my questions specifically:-Where do you single rich men hang out? Give me specifics- bars, restaurants, gyms -What are you looking for in a mate? Be honest guys, you won't hurt my feelings -Is there an age range I should be targeting (I'm 25)?- Why are some of the women living lavish lifestyles on the Upper East Side so plain? I've seen really 'plain jane' boring types who have nothing to offer married to incredibly wealthy guys. I've seen drop dead gorgeous girls in singles bars in the east village. What's the story there? - Jobs I should look out for? Everyone knows - lawyer, investment banker, doctor. How much do those guys really make? And where do they hang out? Where do the hedge fund guys hang out? - How you decide marriage vs. just a girlfriend? I am looking for MARRIAGE ONLY Please hold your insults - I'm putting myself out there in an honest way.Most beautiful women are superficial; at least I'm being up front about it. I wouldn't be searching for these kind of guys if I wasn't able to match them - in looks, culture, sophistication, and keeping a nice home and hearth. it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests PostingID: 432279810
THE ANSWER
Dear Pers-431649184:I read your posting with great interest and have thought meaningfully about your dilemma. I offer the following analysis of your predicament. Firstly, I'm not wasting your time, I qualify as a guy who fits your bill; that is I make more than $500K per year. That said here's how I see it.Your offer, from the prospective of a guy like me, is plain and simple a crappy business deal. Here's why. Cutting through all the B.S., what you suggest is a simple trade: you bring your looks to the party and I bring my money. Fine, simple. But here's the rub, your looks will fade and my money will likely continue into perpetuity...in fact, it is very likely that my income increases but it is an absolute certainty that you won't be getting any more beautiful! So, in economic terms you are a depreciating asset and I am an earning asset. Not only are you a depreciating asset, your depreciation accelerates! Let me explain, you're 25 now and will likely stay pretty hot for the next 5 years, but less so each year. Then the fade begins in earnest. By 35 stick a fork in you! So in Wall Street terms, we would call you a trading position, not a buy and hold...hence the rub...marriage. It doesn't make good business sense to 'buy you' (which is what you're asking) so I'd rather lease. In case you think I'm being cruel, I would say the following. If my money were to go away, so would you, so when your beauty fades I need an out. It's as simple as that. So a deal that makes sense is dating, not marriage. Separately, I was taught early in my career about efficient markets. So, I wonder why a girl as 'articulate, classy and spectacularly beautiful' as you has been unable to find your sugar daddy. I find it hard to believe that if you are as gorgeous as you say you are that the $500K hasn't found you, if not only for a tryout. By the way, you could always find a way to make your own money and then we wouldn't need to have this difficult conversation.With all that said, I must say you're going about it the right way. Classic 'pump and dump.' I hope this is helpful, and if you want to enter into some sort of lease, let me know. | | |
