I probably snore sometimes. If I have a cold I'm pretty sure I do.

I think snoring that shakes the house would be a problem and would keep me awake. However to be totally honest, I kind of find little snores cute. I don't mind it at all.

Yes, I think what I'm trying to point out is it's difficult to tell if the snoring is a person's baseline, I mean, I can check his mental stats or O2saturations when he is awake, but even then the carbon dioxide levels could be out of wack. But for some, they snore, and it doesnt affect them. One time, I had a pt who was snoring loudly, an ICU nurse passed by his room, was worried, but throughout his stay he was fine, arterial blood gases okay, O2sats okay, but there was one instance with a pt who woke up and orientation was off, checked O2sats was okay 95% up, but upon blood gas drawn, CO2 levels sky rocketed, then MD placed pt on BiPap, levels eased down, eventually pt was back being alert oriented x3 to 4.

Yes, i dont have my license yet though, but i have permit.
Hmmm. Weird. I didn't know they issued permits to adults. I thought for people 18+ it was either a license or not.

I'm not afraid of needles. But thank you for your consideration. You're too kind.

Yes, I hope you are not a hardstick cause I'm not good at inserting IVs just yet, although it is very assuring that you are a cactus, being well hydrated is good for the veins, easier to spot them

I've lived in hawaii and now in North Carolina, they require it, can't drive without permit and have to have someone next to me with a license, le sigh...I wished I've learned earlier...

No worries. I used to donate blood and sell plasma. The phlebotomists loved my veins. I never had any problems except for when one young girl stuck me way too hard and I ended up spending my time on the draw in pain. How long have you been in practicing?

You're lucky. I'm constantly donating blood, and it's always a challenge to find my veins. My right arm's totally unusable, and my left has been the recipient of a couple of errant needle pokes that have resulted in bruises.

Wow. You're trooper for hanging in there. I would have a hard time going back and dealing with that.

Not that I know of. No one has ever heard me snore.

I can't sleep with snoring at all. I have sensitive hearing and I need to have absolute quiet in my room to be able to sleep. I can't even sleep when I hear someone breathing at all. That's why I'll always want to have a room to myself.
