kbordson 8 #26 February 10, 2005 QuoteQuote Bah, who needs med school. Be a nurse! I don't want tp be a nurse, but I want to date a nurse, then another one, then another, then another, then..... Nurses are hot Oh my... where's the eye-rolling little icon that's just puking her guts out!!! (while still laughing at your silly little ass) Having been a nurse for 5 years before going to med school... let me just clue you in here - they can make you cry. Some of them are foolish, but don't assume they're all ignorant. Don't be pissing them off.... Or you will get calls at 0200 just to tell you that the temp was 98.7... then a call at 0210 that the heart rate on another was 68... then a call at 0230 about requesting a suppository for a patient that hasn't had a bowel movement in 24 hours... Trust me, there are ways to make you WANT to be nice to them (not just to date them....) - not that I did any of that.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumpdoc 0 #27 February 10, 2005 I agree, you must love the nurses...most of them tend to know more than the average intern or second year resident anyway...speaking from experience (I'm the Ob/Gyn chief resident), when the nurses love you, life's a breeze...more sleep on call equals more skydives postcall.

billdo 0 #29 February 13, 2005 I started jumping right before second year and have averaged 350 / year since then (I'm a PGY-2 in Peds). It depends where you are too. I had A LOT more free time in med school than I do in residency, so I was able to make 350/year even in Milwaukee. Now I have 4 days per month, but I'm one hour away from Perris so I jump every available day up to 12 jumps per day, and was able to have a team that did 200 training jumps while getting 10 hours of tunnel and also completing big-way events. If you plan to skydive seriously you HAVE to get into a residency near one of the major DZ's with good weather. Because of limits on my time and my commitment to skydive whenever free I have very little time for anything else, even my dates with nurses have slacked off. You have to keep your priorities straight. You can pretty much bang every hot nurse in the first year of residency and then you'll be black-listed a "player" by the nurses, and you can get back into skydiving seriously. That's what worked for me anyway. Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
