Nine for Naptime
My friend and I are upstate NY travel nurses who want to take a 3 month assignment down in Charleston. We want to rent a really cute/trendy apartment or house for a short term lease, and knowing nothing at all about the area we were just wondering where the hot spots are for young professionals in this city. We don’t know where we’ll contract yet either…it seems like MUSC and Roper are the two hospitals I’m coming across in my travels…does anyone on here have some feedback about which hospitals are the best for nurses?

The very first thing I did upon moving in was start stripping the wallpaper. Like some malevolent being, it had adhered itself so deeply into the grain of the wall that the paper would come loose with only the maximum amount of effort, leaving the glue behind. I tried every technique ever heard of - glue dissolving gel spray, didn’t work. Vinegar, didn’t work. Steam, didn’t work. Screaming at the top of my lungs didn’t work. Led Zep at full volume didn’t work (but was fun).
In the end it was just me vs. the wallpaper. Womano y wallpapero. Hand to hand combat baby. Ripped off the paper, scraped off the glue, sanded down the walls, washed down the walls, spackled where the wallpaper had ripped great chunks of drywall out with it.
Three months it took me.
