The Wedge

is the final decision for next Friday!! 55 and Bates, close to Iron and Barley. Check out their website. www.thewedgebar.com . I'm planning on dinner around 7ish and drinks till ??? Spread the word and hope you all can be there to celebrate my birthday and one last drink before I leave for Chi-town!

Steph...

Count me in!

My Birthday is Feb. 6th ladies! Who wants to celebrate? I am up for suggestions--with alcohol, music, and lots of hot nurses it's bound to be a good time no matter where we go. ;)

I want

to drink with you tomorrow Louise... I have the stupid fellowship skills day or whatever the fuck we do all day long in that worthless shit--so I should be done about 1700 or so (wow look at me go...I used military time...maybe I'm actually learning something).
Also, Dan Fuller is a big, long piece of poop. (No stories or anything, just my daily Dan Fuller comment).

stay off the pipe...

sooooo note to self; stay off the crack pipe or my brain might explode and bleed. just wanted to let everyone in on the brilliant people i am nursing back to life. oh and if you weigh 425 pounds and have uncontrolled hypertension...really lay off the crack. also who knew you could try to shoot yourself in the head and not get the job done...oops. maybe try jumping off a bridge, or take some lessons at the shooting range. wow that all sounded really cynical. i swear i have not become a bitter nurse. we have to all make vows to each other that we cannot become fat and cranky nurses! so if ya see it developing just say, "hey, you are acting like a biatch and are lookin a little chunky." because i am learning that odds are not in our favor as young, skinny, healthy, mean girl nurses. miss all ya!

What

are everyone's schedules this week? I am off Tuesday and Wednesday. Someone might be able to twist my arm to get a cocktail Tuesday night... or if anyone wants to study... or both...

Anne...

Are you giving tutoring lessons?

I love

it that the blog has become fully dedicated to bashing Dan Fuller! Ha! I just woke up and have a massive headache and will probably never drink again... for at least 4 hours. Hopefully everyone at kaplan is learning lots. I actually get to get out of the classroom and start saving lives in the ER on Monday! Holla!

who would have thought

When I proudly graduated from Goldfarb Academy I barely knew Dan Fuller, all I knew was he stole Sarah's coffee cup and was a pretty big loser. Now I read about him sexually assualting my friends right around daily, I love it.
In other news I am saving kids lives day in and day out. Today there were nursing student's on my floor, sitting there doing nothing, and it brought me back to the good old days.
Anyway hope everyone is doing well and enjoying being a real adult! Here's hoping we pass our boards right!!!!!!!!!!!

Douche bag

I think if you looked up the definition in the dictionary... it would have Dan Fuller's face.

SO...

I asked Steph K what three people she would strangle in this class if she had the chance and she named two people and then said Dan Fuller because he is Dan Fuller! Ha!

Good Post

That's hilarious... just another reason this blog makes me smile everyday.
I hope Fuller doesn't try to go down your pants tomorrow!

JUST KIDDING

Dan Fuller

tried to feel me up during our acute care class today. What is wrong with that guy?

Cute Picture

Next weekend

So...is anyone else celebrating next weekend with the Kaplan course besides me??? Just wondering if I would have someone who can make fun of people who take the questions way to seriously with me. Krista I do believe that you probably have the best stories out of all of us....and I still didnt hear the full Fuller story about why he got your fist in his face.

For the girls taking Kaplan class...

The good news is: it's actually VERY helpful and def not as boring as I expected. It's not a lecture rather you go through questions and the instructor talks through the rationale; tells you stragedy tips and shows you how to actually read the questions in a different way in order to get the right answer... It's VERY helpful. I unfortunately will not be with you girls next weekend because I am working my first real shifts this weekend!! ahh :)

The bad news: you encounter annoying people that try to fight for the answer. They don't understand that this is NCLEX.. there is no arguing what you think is "correct". Whatever. By the end of the afternoon you are ready to be done.. but for the most part it goes by quickly. The first day you do take a 180 question test so be prepared.. it sux but I know honestly if I was made to do the diagnostic I would not have done it. and it will be interesting to see how much we improve.

Also.. 97% of people that do all the Kaplan stuff .. pass! so that's good

Well, have a good week girls! I am off Wed and Thurs if anyone wants to study.
We also need to plan a happy hour again!

SUNDAY FUNDAY!

2-2:30 at Joe Bush's. It is at the corner Chippewa & Kingshighway. See you there!

I want to be done studying

Hi there.
Well, I work Monday so I am not sure how much fun I can have on Sunday!
I am definetly way over due on seeing all the mean girls... I'm even further in the ghetto than Barnes at good old Glennon, all by myself. Well, I take that back. I do have orientation with Red and Mary. Jealous anyone??
I start my 12 hr days this coming Friday. I think I'm going to LOVE it. It is very different from Barnes, good and bad, but very different. But I love those little babies and can't wait. However my binder for NICU training is about 3 times as big as the NCLEX review book I should be looking at right now.
How is work for everyone??? I will see whoever is doing Kaplan next weekend!

Sunday Funday Anyone?

I will be celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's bday on Monday by having a Sunday Funday this Sunday if anyone wants to join. It will most likely consist of drinking at some south city dive. Good times!

My Updates...

The first patient I observed yesterday lost a rhythm, coded and died. My patient today passed out after his transplant and puked on me. I guess that was my welcome to oncology and bmt!

Fuller called to apologize to me today and asked me out for a make-up beer...WTF!

Both boys I've been out with on dates have been weirdos. Met a girl and she is super cute. Sorry Audra I don't think I'm coming back to your side quite yet or possibly ever actually.

How is everyone else's training/work going? I want funny stories...

Per Louise we should do Sunday Funday and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday or whatever holiday it is. Who's in?

HELLO!

Since my life consists of sitting in orientation all day still, does anyone have any good stories? Any doctors thumping anyone lately?

Katie...

How was the first day???

Thanks Krista

I have often wanted to punch Fuller in the face, so thanks for taking care of that for me!!!
Can't wait to hear the story!

WTF???

WHAT THE HELL???I need some info Krista!!!

Drunk Dial #4

Yep that's right--was going to stay in last night and then wouldn't you know I get a drunk dial from Fuller so, I thought what the hell I do want asian babies what's the worst that could happen. So, I met him out for drinks at Cafe Eau. BAD IDEA! I have lots to say about it and will tell all later--but, let's just say I ended up punching him and left...

Thanks for the great memory picture Yvonne, but the obsession is over!

Sorry.. Looks like I have taken over the Blog...

More...

Here is the evidence on the beginning of the Dan obsession with Krista... haha sorry couldn't resist!

Jackson's

I have posted some pictures of the legendary Blake.. so everyone can experience his awesomeness and HOT white stone washed Jeans. Also my all-time favorite picture of Eve. Enjoy.. :)

Blake

xoxo Blake!!!

Some Graduation Pics

Thanks Krista for showing me how to post pics. These are all of you biatchs that don't have facebook.

Happy Hour fun!

Hey girls! I had so much fun at Happy Hour last night!! We should do it on a regular basis. As most of you saw, I literally fell out of Nick's Pub as I tripped on the step to go outside... Oops! Needless to say I think I was enjoying the Ciders too much :) I came home took a shower with great intentions of going out again... I made the mistake of laying down "only for a sec" after my shower and passed out. So, I'm sorry I did not make it out to Malley's. Hope you girls had fun and it was GREAT seeing you guys again.. I missed my mean girls! Can't wait to go out again soon.

Oh My God

Emtek training is 100 times worse than nursing orientation! This fucking blows.

Happy Hour

@ Nicks tommorrow. 4 pm! Katie, I would not use the word "bored" until after you get through orientation. It brings a whole new meaning to the word. See you all tommorrow hopefully!

Time is Brain!

Kelly-That is so awesome you are going to be in the Neuro ICU. My only advice is never trust your patients for a second...they are all crazy. For real, they dont know what the hell they are doing. So dont turn your back! Just kidding. It is a great place to work...we will have to keep each other up to date on what is new.

Hi Everyone! It's been a long time. I hear orientation is really fun and exciting! Well, I start Monday and actually I'm so ready, this week I have been so bored.
So a few things, what is your study schedule like? I want to study with people.
Also, would anyone be interested in driving me to the airport after our last day of the Kaplan class????

I hear you are going out tomorrow night, I'm hoping to meet up at sometime, let me know the details. Have fun learning today.

KELLY!

CONGRATS! That is awesome! You will do great! My advice so far is bring something to read during orientation. SO BORING!!! Although you could spend your day drawing bubble letters and palm trees as I did today. Hopefully we will all know more about our future schedules soon so we can start planning our trip to DC to visit! Can't wait!!!

WOOOOPSie!

I have been inactive too long on this blog...my apologiessss!

So..I guess what I'm trying to say is, Mean Girls: Merry Christmas, Happy New Years, and Happy First Day As the Meanest and Hottest New Nurse at Barnes/Children's Day...bc I know most of you started that dreadful thing called work on Monday!

Krista: HAPPY BELATTTEDDDD BDAAYYYY! I wish I would have been around to help you drink massive quantities of alcohol...but, not for a second do I doubt that a mean girl was unable to live upto the blacking out or at least getting lost while going out expectations :)

I miss you all...I need UPDATES! Anything new and exciting in St. Louis?

My updates: I finally decided that it was time for me to buckle down and commit to a job..ugghh..so I will be starting in the Neuro ICU at a hospital in DC Feb. 2.........eeek! Thank GOODNESS my fellowship is 6 months long though. Any advice/pointers Kasey????

No Shit

I think I lost brain cells and it wasn't from drinking! That was literally the worst thing I have ever experienced. I would rather lick the floor at Barnes than sit through that again!

I don't

know if I can sit through that again tommorrow! AHH!

Audrey Abraham

can go fuck herself. Single girls need nice looking coats! I am going to have to steal more...

Audrey Abrahm

wants her coat back!

Not going to lie

I know I will be waking up earlier tommorrow than I have in a LONG time but I am kind of looking forward to waking up and not being hungover... hopefully...

CHI-CA-GO!!!

I don't know about anyone else, but I will definately be up for a road trip to Chicago to yell "Cubs suck!" anytime this summer..... and to visit Stephanie of course!

Mercedes

I love your coat!

Sup

Yo Bitches! I was told to post or else I won't be a 'mean girl' anymore. So, here it is. Who's coming to Chicago this summer to visit me and yell "Cubs Suck!" at baseball games? ;)

I do

not appreciate you putting "slopes" in quotation marks, Audra. They were MASSIVE!

Hi Ladies!!

Hi girls!!! I am finally back in the show me state after my Vaca in beautiful Oklahoma. Hope everyone had a great holiday season. Love the pictures, it looks like you guys had tons of fun on the "slopes." Glad no one got hurt on those massive mountains!

Also, Happy Birthday Krista and congrats Kasey on being a real life nurse, that is freaking insane!

Good Luck starting your jobs Monday, I know you guys can't wait!

See you soon!

Thanks

mean girls... Happy New Year!

HAPPY

Birthday Crystal!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Years Mean Girls!!!

Cheers to the hottest new nurses 2008 produced! Can't wait to see you girls soon.

Also... Happy Birthday Krista!!!
