Yvonne...

I am not smart enough to figure out how to post my schedule! Besides, you, me, and Krista are the only 3 people that read this blog anyway! I thought you were staying here this weekend? Hope the concert is fun! You better meet up for awhile Sunday! Go TIGERS!

Schedules?

Am I the only one that has updated the google calendar with my schedule

Sunday Funday...

I missed all my mean girls who couldn't make it out tonight. However, I had a blast with my partner in crime, Krystal. Good times. Next Sunday = Funday and celebration of Dorothy passing boards. Also... a future date for the calendar is March 15th. Tentative Mean girls go to Fast Eddies day. Not set in stone but everyone look at your schedules (or Krista and Yvonne the only other people who read this blog) and we will discuss! Goodnight! Off to make babies. JUST KIDDING!

Congrats Louise!!!

Way to dominate the NCLEX- gladiator style :)

Good Luck Louise!

Sunday Funday...

So... my day started off watch St. Joan of Arc 3rd grade girls bball. Afterwards Bettlach and I are trying to figure out what to do... we say to each other, well we are both hungry so lets go get some lunch and a cocktail or two but nothing crazy because we are trying to save money and not be alcoholics and all. Cool. So we head up to Sportszone and get there about 2:30 pm. Had some lunch, a couple bloody marys and the next thing I know it is 8:30 pm. So after racing our waitress around the restaurant for an hour to get our bill (She SUCKED by the way) we decide to do what is in our best interest and head home. NOT REALLY. We go to Nicks. So we are at Nicks playing "pass the trash" this card game. The bartender comes up to our table and says, "you guys cannot play drinking games in here" I reply, "we are not playing a drinking game we are gambling" and he just walks away. So I am thinking, ok, no drinking games but gambling is fine. Not so much. Apparently you are not allowed to play any games at Nicks Pub. No cards, no dice, no quarters, NOTHING. We offered to put the money away and not gamble. Not good enough. The manager guy said no can do. No games. He was really nice about it but I was like fine, we will take our business elsewhere where we can continue to play "pass the trash". So we leave Nicks and go, where else, but my favorite establishment on Chippewa, Johnny Gittos. Who, needless to say did not care if we played "pass the trash" or honestly things much worse. At Gittos there was this group of nurses (I know because karoke Rick kept giving them shout outs) who all had these shirts that said "sunday funday" on them. And let me tell you, I have NEVER been more jealous and wishing my fellow mean girls were with me. After singing a little karoke, it was about 2 am and I was ready to head home when my FAVORITE song came on "September" and I knew my night was complete. Missed you all! What is everyones schedule this upcoming week? Who is planning on going to Mardi Gras?

Happy Happy

Valentines Day Mean Girls!

I am still moving in and think I might be for the rest of my life... how does one get so much crap??? Anyway--hope to see anyone that isn't working tomorrow for sunday funday and if anyone feels like it for gods sake come over and help me paint!

Happy

early Vday mean girls! And happy early bday Jana!!!

Happy

I found

a place to live in Chicago! It took about 8 hours of driving around the city cursing and making illegal u-turns about every 10 minutes, but I did it!
I can't wait for visits....and, I will try to post some pictures once I get settled in.

Just got

a drunk dial from Dan Fuller... yes it is 8 o'clock at night. He is at Bar Louis if anyone would like to join him.

I am slightly confused what you did during your 4 years at SLU. No float trip & you have never been to the lake of the ozarks??? Just kidding! I love ya! I am in for the lake. 2 of my top five favorite things - drinking and sun!

Calendar

The other night some of us discussed how we could create a calendar for everyone to post their schedules...gmail has a calendar feature, so instead of everyone getting their own gmail account, what about setting up a mean girl account, give everyone the password then we can put our schedules on one calendar??? I'm also thinking we need to organize a trip to the lakes this summer too! ...These are the lovely things I think about instead of studying for boards! =)

Happy B-day Steph

Hey guys sorry I missed the birthday bash last night. I didn't leave the hospital till right around 8 last night so was uterally exhausted from my crazy day. I love getting new patients at 6:30 that is awesome. Also, love assisting with stitching up kids heads at the bedside ( that is actually pretty cool ). Anyway I am sure it was a blast! Miss you guys, have a great weekend!!!

You ladies are the most

lovable mean girls ever! I had such a great time last night! It went by so fast, though. I don't feel like I got to hang out with anyone for long enough. But, I had a wonderful time and I am so lucky to have friends like you!
awwww..... ;)

Friday Fun!!

Happy Birthday Steph!! Sorry can't make it out tonight bc I had to work last night and need to try to switch my sleep sched for tomm. I'm sure you guys will have an awesome time tonight!! And congrats on passing boards!!

Also..... I had my first patient actually die on me last night. It sucked!! He had GI bleeding that wasn't operable and he was draining at least a Liter of blood from his stomach every 10 mins. We gave him 27 units of blood, 20 FFP, 6 plasma, cryo and a bunch of other crap and it wouldn't stop!!!! So the fam decided to let him go. And that was just by 1 am. So needless to say I went out after work in the am to have a couple beers!!

See some of you tomm at Kaplan!!!

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE SELKE, RN!!! I will see you tonight!

I'm ready

to party like a rock star! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Steph!

Some Gossip...

Hey girls!! Hope everyone is doing well. It's been a while since I have made a post. So, today I heard from some Goldfarb current students that Seckman doesn't teach anymore!!! Apparently she only is only allowed to teach one class and it's either Masters students or an upper-division assessment class. They actually did something.. CRAZY! Unfortunately, it was after we left.. but still I was shocked.

Also, I heard from Amy Burky she also was on the floor getting her patient info. She informed me that Smokey works in the NICU at St. John's. YUCK!!! Note to self: never to have a baby there. Just think of her dirty, smelliness picking up your sick baby.. eww. Who hired her? and what was she on? Poor Sarah Segrave is gonna have a rough time working with her..

On another note: All the Goldfarb students on the floor today were pretty obnoxious, "know-it alls", loud and lazy asses.. I hope I was never like that! and it also made me kinda embarrassed. How awful is that, I know I was in there shoes 6 months ago.. but I was never like that. You can't be a know it all with cardiac kids.. first off you don't learn much of it in school and second of all you can't do jackshit with the kid. So stop being an f-ing know it all.

On a good note: I am sooo excited for Friday!!!! I hear the pizza is amazing there. Can't wait to see everyone and CONGRATS STEPH for passing boards!!!! :)

I survived...

my first code today. My patient however did not.

It was pretty crazy. She came in from another hospital and had no pulse so we started CPR immediately. We got her back but her pressure and pulse starting dropping again almost immediately and they did CPR two more times. Her son was in the room during the majority of the code. It was sad. While I did not contribute much to the saving of her life I did document the shit out of the code flow sheet. Word.

Oh yeah

I also called Dan Fuller tonight just to see if he was drunk... but unfortunately no answer. I will try again tomorrow.

My Ghetto Fabulous Girl...

So I had a patients daughter ask me today if staying away from microwaves would help prevent the cancer from returning. Of course I just stared at her in disbelief first questioning if this ghetto fabulous girl was really being serious... and when I realized she was completely serious I just shook my head and said yes staying away from microwaves might save his life. (Do we really have people this fucking stupid in the world?) And then she proceeded to ask me what she could get for free. God bless our clientele at Barnes for keeping me entertained!

See you bitches Friday!

Congratulations

to all the mean girls who were members or supporters of Team Sprite in the big St. Celicia Vball tourney yesterday. We finished in the top 12 (unfortunetly there were only 12 teams) Go team sprite!
