What you enjoyed today

I love having students, and a lot of nurses don't, so the students come looking for me. They told me one of my fellow nurses told them she doesn't get paid to be nice to them. (She's the only genuine bitch working on my floor.) After having a nurse like that for a day or two, they flock to me. They can't do much for the first couple of semesters, but they will do whatever I ask them to (even the icky stuff), and I am happy to have my patients get extra attention.

I don't see why it's so hard to be nice to students. Some people are just mean.

Some people don't like other people learning what they do because of self-preservation, if someone gets to do their job as good as them or better, they might loose it.

I personally think people who are willing to teach/learn are the best, not many like it though.

Where I am, it's hard enough to come across quality electricians, the helpers, just as much. We have about a 8-1, journeyman to apprentice ratio on our job.

I know which electricians I want to work with, and which ones I don't.

Honestly, a student is no threat to the job security of a nurse. Half of those poor students won't even make it through the program, and they aren't anywhere near ready to work in a hospital.

Frasbee - are you considered an apprentice?

Well, depending on how "basic" a person is, humans have an urge to defend their job anyway: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maslow's_Hierarchy_of_Needs.svg]File:Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]

I think the good students thing happens everywhere..

What I enjoyed today.... I had a race with a girl from the subway to university. I don't think she knew it was a race.

Seriously, students are no threat, not even the good ones. I should know. I WAS a good student not all that long ago.

Its not the job threat, its the eating of your time. Training ppl takes time and patience. LOTS of patience.... don't be afraid to only take the good ones who are worthy of your time. Esp since you aren't being paid to mentor them.

Yeah, that's true, but I'm also not paid to help the instructors weed them out, either. This is the first time I've had 1st semester students, though, so I am more likely to get dummies at this point. Ah, well... so long as they don't hurt my patients, I'm okay with having them.

Yes.

I'm technically a first year apprentice, but this is my 3rd year in the trade.

Making a total "American" dinner tonight. Ribeye marinated in red wine shallot sauce, baked potatoes with Top of the Tator, and Blue Moons

[Junket]

I shaved and oiled my cock and balls.

Got lots of shopping done and found a new student to tutor (starting tomorrow). Also, more good fortune on OkCupid.

Cleaning out the carport and finding about a toolbox worth of tools. Now all that's left to do is reorganize and clean.

Nothing quite like spring cleaning.
