[a_troll00]

Damn not sure what to do.Cute nursing student at work today told me: "You have the nicest teeth in the whole world." I replied "Thanks. You have a great smile too." Haven't talked to her too much to see her status and what not since she's following another nurse.Don't think I can give her my number today especially since they have 3 more weeks of clinical, but I work on call so it's not a guarantee I see her again. If i give her my number and it's a fail it could be awkward if I see her again. Also, not sure the rules about staff nurses and nursing students.Oh well. Feels good to be complimented by a cute girl. She looks like a 7 in loose fitting scrubs, but body looks nice so could be better in a civilian clothes.

YOU'RE THINKING WITH THE WRONG HEAD!!!!! You better tap that and tell us all about it!!

Damn. Just scared to do it in the workplace with a student. If this was anywhere else no problem. Afraid it could cost me my job.You think this is a 100% in the bag she's interested?

Don't #### where you eat.

Listened to my brain and didn't pursue the cute student nurse. Not worth my job. Hopefully, I see her around outside of work. I can tell she was interested because once I got off break she sat at the same table I was charting at and was chatting it up.

Brunette chick, pale skin, hazel/grey eyes. Damn.

The issue is not whether you date her, the issue is whether you're being a jerk about it.

Write her a noteo you like me?__ Yes__ NoCheck one.ETA: Or just grow a pair.

Not about growing a pair. Any other situation (fellow RN or anyone else employed there) it would be a done deal, but at work with someone who can be considered a subordinate didn't sound right.

Found cute student nurse on Facebook. GB ID tags and unique names.

Profile private, but profile picture looks good. I don't think I can resist temptation next time.

ETA: Just checked my schedule and I SHOULD be working next Thursday if the census is decent. Then she'd only have 1 more week on the unit. Hmmmmm.

Do it...send request...send!!!

Not yet. I'll do it as a last resort AFTER she finished her clinical rotation. Actually maybe a little bit safer that way. Send a message like: "Didn't think it was professional to ask you at work (so I stalked you on Facebook instead) but if you want to hang out some time here's my number."

Well bagging HI didn't help your game any. Just tell her to call you when she's off the current rotation. She'll call before, but put her off until she's done. You'll jump her bones night 1.

update?

Well I'll see cute nursing student this Thursday so we'll see then. However, last night was terrible for me and I'm not sure the updates will be as crazy for a while. Went out last night and it was the 5th straight day of drinking (Thurs - club, Friday - drank at my place with friends, Saturday - Bar, Sunday - my place with friends, Monday - Party). No luck boning any chicks or getting any numbers. Last night I went with a friend to a party and I drove home.... drunk. Got pulled over, charged with a DUI, and spent the night in jail.It was a real eye opener for me. I've been using alcohol to deal with my problems and I haven't owned up to them like a man. I've been dwelling on the hurt the ex caused me, throwing myself a pity party, and drowning the feelings in alcohol. I've worked 4 of those 5 days and since I work from 0700-1530, I've been working each day on 3 or less hours of sleep. I banged a coke dealing whore raw dog and now I drive how completely wasted. I've been making terrible decisions that have put myself and others at risk. Now my career is at risk as well. I was fortunate last night I did not kill anyone else or myself. It is a blessing. Spending the night in jail made me realize I've been dealing with the break up terribly. I need to start doing positive things instead of turning to alcohol. I need to learn how to have fun again WITHOUT alcohol to make me forget. I need to slow back down and let the world come to me. I need to re-focus. I was never irresponsible, but now because some whore left me I've become a mad man in such a short time. Also, because of the DUI I'm skipping out on the bachelor pad and moving back in with my parents. I need their support now more than ever. I didn't realize the destructive path I was on until last night. Sad that I had to risk so much and put others in danger to realize it, but now that I do I need to be better. I will be.

 

[jamny]

Sorry to hear bro. As you said, it could have been much worse.

Get your head together, stop worrying about what other people think and move on. Time to start taking yourself and your life seriously.

You're not 18 anymore.

DUIs suck in California. Probably no reason to look into a lawyer they will just cost you more money and won't give you anything more than a court appointed attorney would. It stays on your record for 10 years.

 

[Dr. Awesome]

It's not right or smart but just about everyone has driven drunk when they were younger. Drinking it up and partying is a perfectly normal way to handle things for a guy in his 20's. And now you're going to move in with your parents? Don't do it!

If you're tired of drinking and partying (happens to all of us at some point), join http://www.meetup.com/ - it is a great way to meet new people and try various activities with people who share your interests.

Depression is the 4th stage of grief so you're almost through this. Hang in there.

I'm going to have to lawyer up just to protect my registered nursing license. The loss of driving ability or money is not what I'm worried about. I'm terrified now of losing my career. My livelihood.

What does lawyering up have to do with protecting your RN license? Does a DUI automatically make you lose that license and you are hoping a good lawyer and plead you down to Wet-Reckless? What did you blow?

While I really enjoyed hearing your exploits all along I was thinking that you were going a bit overboard. DUIs suck but consider yourself lucky that you didn't hurt someone and if this is what it took to get you back on track then maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

I went through nearly the exact same thing a few years ago - breakup, DUI, parents house, the whole thing. Focus on yourself, worry less about what others think, and figure out what exactly you dream of having for yourself - then go for that. Good luck.

DUI doesn't automatically but it could be grounds for suspension or revocation of an RN license. Doing research most people are able to practice, but again having a lawyer could only help.

Whether or not you have a problem with alcoholism, the time is now to fess up to your employer that you are out of control and need help. That the DUI episode was your wake-up call. You just need help, are crying out for it. Most places of employment including hospitals have programs in place to help rehabilitate their employees who are dealing with these issues. It doesn't matter that you aren't an alcholic. Just go with that story. It's your get out of jail free card, and using it will bend discretion on this matter in your favor.

 

[jwp]

Does your ex know about it?

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Sux0rs dude.

Chin up! the DUI. Isnt the end of the world. It's an enormous pain in the ###, but not the end the world. As long as your job isn't affected,, and I'm pretty sure it won't be, it's just a bump in the road. An expensive,pain in the ### bump but that's all it is. You'll be fine

 

[sbonomo]

don't beat yourself up...DUI is a bad thing but not the end of the world. Make sure that you learn from the mistake and move on. Lawyer is good but don't automatically assume they are going to help you. For the cost if you don't have a leg to stand on and you were not super extreme probably best to take you punishment and move on....first time offense (assume you are not a career criminal) will probably not affect your career. Good luck...

 

[DA RAIDERS]

What'd you blow?

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

If this is your first offense I recommend NOT getting a lawyer. It will be a complete waste of money.

This is provided you were cooperative with the feds.

 

[Raiderfan32904]

A first DUI offense in California is really a pretty big deal. It'll cost at least $10K in court costs, penalties, and fees and expect some significant hours of community service to boot. Which means giving up your weekends and any holidays or planned vacations. And expect heavy scrutiny from your employer for this. RN's operate under a condition of employment that requires a high standard of moral conduct. This won't go away easy. It's best to own up and take your medicine and accept the consequences. You'll be given a second chance as long as you don't blow it and complain or whine about it. Just stand up, look em in the eye, acknowledge your actions, and take it like a man.
