Guest snapster15 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 As a matter of fact Cindee I was in pharmaceutical sales for five years, but I had to leave the position because I was too shy and introverted. :rolleyes: So, what is your daughters going rate for babysitting services? I need to work that into my school loans so I can ask for the appropriate amounts from the bank. :) Janice, I did get the information and called her yesterday. She seems really nice you were right. I think we will get along just fine. :) Thanks for calling. We should definitely get together when I am out there. We may stop in your neighborhood and check out your neighbors house, unless it is way out of our price range. :) Well, both of you have a great day and I will chat at you soon.

Cindee Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Has anyone heard anything from the school about our Mentors? Just wondering if they've started to contact people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest janiceinva Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hey Matt. I was in pharmaceutical sales for seven years as well. I worked for GlaxoSmithKline. Who were you with??? I loved it. When I "retired" I was doing job share and working three days a week, which I loved. I just knew that my position was being done away with so got out early. They have down-sized twice since. That is a tough business to be in right now. My best friend who lives across the street from me is still with GSK and has been on pins and needles twice now and made it through two cuts now she is facing a third. The house next door is listed at $749,000 I think is the last I checked. Call me when you guys are in town and safe travels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm2006 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Cindee: I have not heart anything else about the mentors either. I wonder when they will start contacting us soon. Anyway, let us know if you hear anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindee Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Cindee: I have not heart anything else about the mentors either. I wonder when they will start contacting us soon. Anyway, let us know if you hear anything! I certainly will! I just can't wait to get all of these shots finished. My MMR titer showed I'm not immune to Mumps anymore so I have to get them all again and then have another titer done. Of course, the flu shot and then the H1N1 shot. I know they don't have that on the sheet but I'm pretty sure they will require it at some point so I just went ahead and had it. Three shots today, second part of TB test, then onto finish my Hepatitis and MMR. UUUGGGGHHHH! I'm a pin cushion!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest snapster15 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Cindee, I feel your pain. I had a blood draw, TB test, and three shots all in about 15 min last week at the Dr's office, but it is all for a good cause. :) I have not heard from mentors either but I wonder if they are waiting till most of our stuff is due and in before they set us up. Janice, this is starting to get creepy :) I also worked for GSK. I was with them for 4 years and then Forest for 1 year before I decided I wanted to do more for the patients in the offices I was in. I liked the job but in Wyoming where I was a rep it was a lot of travel :( I was gone 4 days a week and had at least 2 hours of driving each day before my first call. 5:30 am to 9:00pm starts to wear on a guy. :rolleyes: Do you happen to know or ever met a rep named Cecillia Newberry? She was a real good friend of mine that I have lost contact with and last I knew she was a rep for GSK around your area I believe. Anyway, it is so amazing how small a world we live in when you start asking people questions lol. Oh and about your neighbors house, if you can talk them down about 500k I would be happy to take a look at it, lol. I cant wait to swap stories with you about the drug rep days it is always fun to hear what other people have to say. 16 weeks till school starts:D Talk to you all soon, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkandil Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hey Jenna, I'll be there for the tour and talk, but I have an evening wedding to attend so I will be skipping the boat cruise. I have done the Spirit of Norfolk thing before and it is a good time if anybody is curious. See you there Tarek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklarsen4 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hello everyone, My name is Kenny. Actually it is John Kenyon, but my mama calls me Kenny so everyone else does too. I am fairly new to the forum and I am part of the class of 2012. I am very excited to be a part of EVMS. A little about myself... I have a bachelor's in respiratory therapy and have been working critical care for the last 2 1/2 years. I have a background in emergency care and fire fighting. I am married with 2 boys ages 5 and 3. I am from UTAH! Can you believe I am dragging my family accross country? Actually, they are all very excited to move to Virginia. My son is first year Kindergarten and he will be changing school mid-year. It will be tough, but I know he can handle it. Thank you for the school information. Unfortunately, we aren't moving out there until the end of Dec. so I will look to the forum to keep updated on what is going on over there. Keep chatting! It is very helpful to me and I hope it is O.K. to use some of the real estate references. It is soo awesome to be a part of this. Be well, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindee Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hey Jenna, I'll be there for the tour and talk, but I have an evening wedding to attend so I will be skipping the boat cruise. I have done the Spirit of Norfolk thing before and it is a good time if anybody is curious. See you there Tarek Hey y'all ~ I also will be attending the morning session but not the afternoon forum and the cruise. Like Tarek, it is a lot of fun but I've been a couple of times and want to reserve all the money I can right now! Just wanted to mention too, if you have a Facebook, there is a wall for our class established which has been helpful too. Good luck, Kenny, and everyone else who is moving here! I'll see you too, Jenna, on Saturday. I'm dragging my husband along and he's dreading the tour into the Gross Anatomy Lab. hahaha! I keep reassuring him that the cadavers will not be out but he still doesn't believe me. He thinks I'm trying to trick him into seeing things I think are awesome and he thinks are way out of his realm of "awesome"! Nonetheless, I'm very excited, as I know, I have said many times before!:-D See y'all there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindee Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Tarek ~ we're you at the open house today? I was looking for the people I've seen online and didn't see you. There were a lot of people there so it was probably easy to miss someone. Anyway, it was a great day! It was nice to meet Jenna and a couple of others from the Facebook page too. I am really looking forward to this but I think we are in for it too! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually walked right by you, but you were engaged in deep conversation with someone and I did not want to be rude.:) I was lookng for you based on your pic here, but I think you changed your hair. Anyway your name tag gave you away. Sorry we didn't get a chance to talk, but I am sure we will have plenty of time for that come next year. Glad you liked it and yes we are indeed in for it.

Yes, I did change my hair. I had a lot of it cut for the interview, you know, to look "more professional". :-) And during times of stress it always grows brown for some reason - or I don't have time to go to my hairstylest! :-) But, sorry I didn't see you. I was trying to meet everyone I could recognize from online. I agree, lots of time to come! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklarsen4 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Hey guys, Just looking online at potential homes to buy in Norfolk and I want to avoid areas that should be avoided. I hear the "Park Place" neigborhood isn't that desireable? Where should I be looking?:confused: If anyone has specifics on neigborhoods to watch for, I would really appreciate it.:D Saturday sounds like it was fun. Wish I was there. Be well,:) Kenny P.S. I hope I didn't go overboard on the smilies, but they are kind of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtoppin Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I opted to rent instead of buy in case I decide not to stay in Norfolk after graduation. Nancy Chandler seems to represent a lot of the rental homes in the area... and homes for sale: http://www.nancychandler.com/ If you have to move, I would highly recommend moving close enough to be able to walk or bike to school. I rented a house in "Ghent" on Shirley Avenue and walk to school in less than 10 minutes. There is a Harris Teeter just two blocks away, Rite Aid, a nice restaurant variety...MacArthur mall is just over a mile away....etc..etc... Whether you rent or buy, you should find lots of options at the NancyChandler website above....I think searching on the "Ghent" neighborhood is the best option. You do want to be careful about some of the other neighborhoods here in Norfolk. Regards Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
