you actually use tinder and had positive results?

I had only one not so great experience. And I think the guy was just a douche but it didnt show till after a few dates. But I went out on MULTIPLE dates on there with successful normal guys and only had one person message me something inappropriate. The other dates there just wasnt the chemistry, but they were respectable people for sure.

Current BF, 10 months in, met on Tinder. Honestly, he was there to get poon while on vacation. I never went out with guys on who werent from there, but he didn have it on the words at the bottom and we started messaging and had a ton in common and he is HOT AS FUQ so when I realized he wasnt from SD, I was like do.not.care. Anyway, it was one of those dates where we talked our head off till the bars closed and then kept talking till 5 am, went out several more times while he was in town, he kept calling after he went back to NYC and after a week was like "there is obviously something really special here.... what do you think about giving this a try and see where it will go?" 10 months later, lots of trips to NY and now I'm job hunting in NY.... and wholeheartedly in love with someone I can see myself spending the rest of my life with. Now we just have to test it out living in the same city, LOL.


I think its all how you approach it. I didn't present myself as on there to whore around. Kept my bio short and clever and only had respectable pics. Went well.

It always makes me wonder what those who are *******sare like at home. I dated an ortho for about 5 months and he was very thoughtful and loving but when he was on a roll about something there was no right answer. I could see him just going off and then going on and on just to hear himself speak. Would probably want to commit murder if I was in an OR with him. Which is probably why that relationship didnt work out... I went on a few dates with an ortho-spine and he was about the most chill guy ever. Could never see him losing his ****. The current BF is OB/GYN and he is also thoughtful and very loving but I can't imagine what he would be like in the OR. I get the feeling he is probably a lot of fun because he has a killer sense of humor and is very even tempered. But it makes you wonder who marries the huge *******s.



*I met all of these guys outside of the hospital and none worked at any facility I work at. Not THAT nurse.

I'm a jerk in everyday life, but super nice in the OR, semi-srs.

OB guy, huh - most the male GYN docs I know are pretty cool, certainly a stressful specialty though.

Hah, why so opposite?

I've always wondered if the ******* docs are actually whipped bitches who take out their frustrations with their wife on the people at work...

His undergrad is in biomedical engineering, so surgery is definitely his thing. It's a weird combination of an engineer with great communication skills lol. I think is interest is more in REI though.... That bodybuilding/ hormone interest. It's also nice to hear the other side of the equation being a neonatal ICU nurse.

NCLEX scheduled for July 1st. Taking Kaplan, got a 64% on the readiness and have taken qtrainers 1-5 so far and worked my way from 52% to hitting 60% now. I have the saunders book but there is just so much content that it's overwhelming.. don't really feel like reviewing it. Just wanna do questions.

Going to finish the trainers and then do 110-150 q's/day from the qbank/qtests. You guys think that'll be sufficient?

I over prepared for mine [Review course required by College, read whole Saunders, and endless questions]. Just make sure you are 100% confident going into it. ~$400 for the stupid NCLEX, might as well pass it first try.

Yeah, I definitely don't have time OR motivation to read through all of Saunders. I'm just going to review their pyramid things and red highlighted stuff, that seems to be the most important. I'm like 80% confident that I'd pass right now. Definitely need to brush up on meds/maternity/peds. Thanks for sharing your experience.

That sounds like beyond enough.

[JeffyDOS]

That sounds like beyond enough.

Thanks for the reassurance. I guess I just feel unsure because all of my friends are taking like 2-3 months to study, and I'll have studied for a total of 3 weeks by the time I take my test.

Well, I know it's a slightly different test but I didn't do any review class and I just did questions about 2 weeks out and it cut off at 75. Granted, I thought I failed, but obviously not. I'm no mensa candidate, either.

I pretty much just worked on test taking the two weeks before hand. I don't think now is the time to cover knowledge because that's what school was for. Now is time to practice taking tests and work on answer selection between the two right answers.

[JeffyDOS]

I agree. Impossible to cram all that content no matter how long you give yourself. I'll just keep doing my questions, and maybe some content here and there. Can't wait to take the test and get it over with.

Lol thats how I felt at one point but as soon as you get it, you'll get your motivation back.

datmurse,


as cool and knowledgeable as spicyprice is, you can't use her as a good example for Tinder,

any educated female with aesthetics and a brain can make a killing on Tinder. It is perfect for those looking for a new date every week or day. Not a place for relationships.

As mentioned before, just imagine one female in a room of 1000 dudes talking to her = Tinder


not in any way a jab at her, just a reality of how online dating favors females.

To argue this point... meeting that perfect partner is a matter of numbers. The more dates you go on, the higher your chance of meeting that person. Your social circle is only so big and your work circle is kind of off limits. Online dating is a way to do quick screening for the basics: looks, evidence of **** personality based on what pics the girl/guy chooses ex. half naked pic, all selfies, dress like slut, etc, as well as their sense of humor, wit, education based on bio. The good thing about Tinder is you go from swiping right to talking to meeting way quicker than match.com (in my experience.) Ans since I and most everyone else is super shallow and initially only care about looks, Tinder makes "shopping" easy.

Anyway, its all in the numbers and broadening your avenues for meeting women. dating in general favors women. Just have to put yourself out there and see what happens. And if a first date doesnt work out, keep at it. Its alllll about increasing your opportunities.




GL passing the self-appointed masters of the hospital-verse survey.

I was in that situation bro. The BRN in CA sucks. I got a letter 8 weeks after my initial submission that said I was missing some chit (even though I submitted everything I needed to online), so I had to resend it in person. That took another 4 weeks and then I called them up and finally got my ATT. I didn't start Kaplan until I got it because I didn't know if I would even take my test by the end of the summer.

Keep calling your board of nursing until they have an update for you. That's what I did.

Happy Birthday.

You graduated at a young age. I wish I could have graduated a year ago, but our program was 4.5 years IF you get into anatomy during summer, which everyone crashed so I had no shot. Ended up taking 5 years but w/e.

[monkeymanuw]

Just took my last test for nursing school. feels kinda sad and empty the past 3-4 years revolved around with classmates, worrying about passing..etc and all of that gone. welp,i guess time to amp up milking my sausage 3 times a day.
