1. So...do you believe this?

   MissCharlieRN replied to leonurse's topic in Geriatric

   Wait, when the heck did Johnny Mathis die? I tried looking it up and everything is saying he's alive.

2. At least I hope this feeling is normal...

   MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in Geriatric

   Today went as smooth as it probably could go. I think the 3-11 shift runs a little easier because there's a lot less of a battle with PT/OT. I got my med passes done, and only had to stay 20 minutes late to finish the charting. It's weird because I ...

3. At least I hope this feeling is normal...

   MissCharlieRN posted a topic in Geriatric

   This is just a little bit of a rant to try to ease some pre-work jitters... I swear I can see my heart beating through this crisp navy-blue scrub top. I'm sitting on my couch with that nervous butterflies-in-the-stomach feeling. Today I start my seco...

4. Can you give a flu shot wrong?

   MissCharlieRN replied to Toad38350's topic in General Nursing

   I usually get the flu shot every year without issue. This year the shot that was given had the H1N1 vaccine with it, and it hurt like heck (I almost cried [i know, I'm a wimp]). It hurt for 3 days after the shot, too. Everyone I know that received t...

5. It seems probie's can't take a joke or laugh

   MissCharlieRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

   Eh, I'm normally very funny and outgoing and I have no problem making friends in most cases. However I'm starting my second week of my first nursing job and for some reason I've become pretty awkward and shy. It's probably because I'm out of my elem...

   Thanks for all of your kind responses :)

7. Peers critical of my new grad job choice

   MissCharlieRN posted a topic in Geriatric

   Just a bit of a vent here. So in May I took the stage for my pinning ceremony and in July I received my license as a registered nurse. I searched for work for what seemed like an eternity, but was lucky enough to land a position in a skilled nursing ...

8. Have you ever shed tears in front of a patient or a patient's family.

   MissCharlieRN replied to dudette10's topic in Relations

   Is it inappropriate that I'm reading some of these posts with tears streaming down my cheeks? lol

9. Have you ever shed tears in front of a patient or a patient's family.

   MissCharlieRN replied to dudette10's topic in Relations

   When I was in my nursing transitions course before I graduated from school, I was working in the Neuro ICU. I had been with one particular patient and his family for 3 days when he finally passed away. His wife came out of the room after saying her g...

10. How I Got My First Nursing Job

    MissCharlieRN posted a topic in New Nurse

    So I graduated in May, have been licensed since July, and have been applying for jobs since December. I've probably applied to 150 positions altogether, without a callback. I've called and left messages to numerous unit directors, nurse recruiters, a...

11. CCAC Boyce Campus Review

    MissCharlieRN replied to Bagle's topic in Pennsylvania

    Yikes. I didn't have these problems at Boyce. I just graduated in May and got As and Bs throughout my nursing courses. I liked the program overall, with the exception of one really condescending instructor that drove me mad. All of my clinicals last...

12. Well, tomorrow is almost here...

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in NCLEX

    Well, I found out the very next morning that I passed, which is awesome. Now if only I can find a job... lol

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in NCLEX

    Haha, that test sucked. It shut off after 75 and that PVT gave me the "good" pop-up. Hopefully it's right!

14. Well, tomorrow is almost here...

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in NCLEX

    Taking it in Pittsburgh. I just got back from my test drive up to the center, where I nearly wet myself in the car, lol. Good luck everyone taking it tomorrow, too! I think I'll make some peppermint tea and do my nails or something tonight (I haven'...

    Tomorrow I take my NCLEX-RN exam and I'm a complete basket case ! I'm hoping the thousands of NCLEX questions I've answered will pay off. Wish me luck! Ahh!
