Thought I'd answer your question here rather than on the thread as any topic drift seems to..erm..annoy certain people somewhat . Besides, I don't really want just *anybody* knowing.

It's quite the opposite, actually. I help run the blood transfusion lab in a large London hospital, so I help give it back rather than take it . Plus, I couldn't be a phleb cos I hate needles (she says, who has four piercings and five tattoos .

Aha... When I was a child, I had a blood disease, and so I can't give blood (and secretly, I am glad, because I ended up so scared of needles and blood-related things.) Ironically, I have *very* good veins. My son and daughter in law are both nursing students, he's just started, and she's 2nd year. They both look lustfully at my veins...

Know what you mean. Those needles on the blood donation sets are HOOGE. I can't give blood either, mainly cos I keep on adding to my tattoo collection periodically. I reckon I do my bit anyway .

Have a lot of empathy with nurses. Like me and my colleagues, they get paid peanuts to take s**t from doctors who know less about the subject than you do. It's a worthwhile career though, just as long as you don't aim to be rich

Jim is having a wonderful time with his nursing training, though he has starts much earlier than he ever did at school..

They start with cell biology, and epidemiology. Yesterday, he had a lecturer for nursing 101, who walked in, announced "I am in a bad mood, I have my period", and he muttered "thanks for sharing". Well, she heard him, and later called on him to do a calculation on the board - so that's why it's not necessarily such a good idea to get noticed...

I doubt it's any easier for a male in an area dominated by women than it is being female in a male dominated area.

Except there are channels a rules protecting the female

There's an upside too, Bain, he stands out! (Also, he has endless women to go to coffee with, which he is just at the right time of life to maximally enjoy. )

Yes I suppose that is a bonus

I'm reading all the crap in the " "Della Wars" Are they an issue for the community." thread and thinking about ditching this place again.

The community has obviously not matured

Yeah, maturity sometimes seems a step too far. It used to be so good, back in 2001.

Maturity?

People are talking over what you yourself have said is a problem for awhile.

The majority sort lets call it democratic opinion is that you ?Della? are more wrong than wrong and your mature response is to change your name (when even I had started to use Vicky/Della) yet again.

Way to go!


Hello again Bain

Well blinky comming in everywhere was something I didn't miss.

I'm 149 posts into that thread and so far it's mostly unsubstantiated BS and the contributers mostly the blinky group and their followers like kea B and icecoldalex etc

I've decided this place isn't worth the comming back so I'll be finished here when I've finished that thread.

Blinky coming in is sadly predictable...

I don't blame you going, I should as well... but there's something about being told I should leave, be put on pre-mod because of my flaming and trolling (!) that makes me think alternatively no, there are some good people here, OR - **** 'em, I have better things to do.

Ah, what to do, what to do...

I'd leave them to their circle jerk and find a better place. The Kid seems to have a good place.

So I see... Ironic, really.
