  2. Anyone going to LCCC?

    GooeyRN replied to xlilchatonx's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I did get the study guide from the book store. I found pediatrics most stressful, but that was due to the instructor I had. It is a rough program mostly b/c of the amount you have to learn in so...

  3. Anyone going to LCCC?

    GooeyRN replied to xlilchatonx's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    By best suggestion for not being singled out, is to not make waves, and to just blend in. Volunteer the correct answers of course, but not all the time. I found the NET pretty easy, so I don't...

  4. Anyone going to LCCC?

    GooeyRN replied to xlilchatonx's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Pretty much all of LCCC's branches are boot camp like from what I hear... It is a great program there if you are committed. If not enough classes is a problem, can you take some classes you dont...

  5. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    GooeyRN replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    For some of us, we would rather not die, b/c we don't want to see our kids grow up in foster care. If not for that, then yes, I would work IF there were proper PPE. If no PPE? Then no

    GooeyRN replied to indiansfan's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  8. Are you CODEPENDENT?????

    GooeyRN replied to paradiseboundRN's topic in Home Health

    I have no problem setting limits with employers when it comes to how much/when I will work. But as per being overworked, yeah, I need to grow a backbone. As per my family, I am guilty as charged...

  9. Did you work while in Nursing school?

    GooeyRN replied to GCTMT's topic in General Nursing

    I think working is fine during school, up to a certain point. See if you can get an every other weekend type thing. Working full-time is doable for some, but everyone I knew who did work full time...

    GooeyRN replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    GooeyRN replied to murrbeffx3's topic in General Nursing

    I had a less than idea high school education, and was far from an angel. :chuckle I made it through nursing school with all A's. It was hard work, and I had to start with remedial classes, but I...

  15. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

    GooeyRN replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Watch what you do, you never know who has a camera! I found pics of my old nursing supervisor all drunk with beer spilled on her crotch on someone elses MySpace, which is not set to private....

  18. Don't want to be a nurse anymore

    GooeyRN replied to belindalou's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Stop working OT. Just do your scheduled shifts. Don't answer the phone if work shows up on the caller ID. Let the answering machine pick up. Don't return the call until it is WAY too late to go in...

  19. The Circumcision Discussion

    GooeyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    GooeyRN replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Can you talk to the nurse manager of the unit/floor you are interested in? If you can score an informal interview with them, they may want to hire you and push for you to get hired, sort of bypassing...

    GooeyRN replied to little_miss_hulk's topic in Psychiatric
