  1. Battle the jaded?

    CharleeJo.RN posted a topic in Pain Management

    I've worked in a pain clinic for a few years. We mostly do interventional treatment, but of course we prescribe as well. However, with the increase of abuse and diversion, we have all become so jaded,...

  2. Kaplan qbank info tested on nclex ?

    CharleeJo.RN replied to jorgecardenas55's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Definitely. I used Qbank for my PN exam and got minimum questions and passed. For my RN exam, I only did about a hundred practice questions out of Saunders, got minimum questions and passed. As long...

  3. :) nclex pharmacology !!!

    CharleeJo.RN replied to 88nursinglove88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    no one can tell you what drugs they were tested on, that's in violation of the confidentiality policy you have to sign. the biggest help you could get on it - study medication suffixes and know what...

  4. Nclex next week.. going to fail again.

    CharleeJo.RN replied to Imeanreally's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    memorize infection control mnemonics (MRS WEE, SPIDERMAN, VCHIPS) and medication suffixes. for a disease, don't worry about the whole biological process - just know what it is, common symptoms, and...

  5. Help Help Help .. Failed NCLEX

    CharleeJo.RN replied to dcd.lopez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    For NCLEX-PN, i studied my butt off. did lots of practice questions daily, studied infection control precautions, medication suffixes, and reviewed content. it was overkill, i thought. i eventually...

  6. It's all in the resume!

    CharleeJo.RN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    so i had posted on a different thread how my resume alone got me an interview and not because of my nursing experience - or lack thereof. the coordinator was so impressed by it that they were actually...

  9. Free Review Material?? (LPN)

    CharleeJo.RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    does anyone know of any websites that have free review material for practical nurses?? i'm not talking about questions for prepping for nclex, but more like an overall review of pn material? kind of...

  10. Not-so-friendly coworker..how do you deal with it?

    CharleeJo.RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've worked at large LTC facilities before (4 of them) and have dealt with many, many, MANY catty and double-faced women. I learned through those experiences not to trust coworkers, not to talk to...

  11. how can I repair the damage

    CharleeJo.RN replied to Ms.RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey, I agree with mc3. I've never had so much ridiculousness working with men as I have with women. I'd take a male coworker over a female coworker any day of the week. Makes my life

  12. Not-so-friendly coworker..how do you deal with it?

    CharleeJo.RN replied to CharleeJo.RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, you're probably right about the making BFF's comment. My soon-to-be-husband (in 2 days!) and I just moved here, and we don't know anyone, and our social life needs a boost. That's my...

  13. How do you remain civil with coworker's you hate :)

    CharleeJo.RN replied to lifein08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with xtxrn. Hating someone takes way too much energy - they aren't worth it. Just keep a smile on your face, do what you have to do, and get on with your

  14. How do you remain civil with coworker's you hate :)

    CharleeJo.RN replied to lifein08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh lord, I've dealt with that at quite a few places. My last job I was at for over a year, and was happier than anyone in the world the day I quit because I was moving. It was wonderful! There were...

  15. Do you have to list a former employer that you got fired from?

    CharleeJo.RN replied to ilove's topic in General Nursing

    Many potential employers do background checks and may do a credit check. A credit check includes a list of past employers, although not every place you've ever worked will probably show up - but if...

  16. First job, feeling down

    CharleeJo.RN replied to smiley321's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Believe me - it DOES get better. A million times better! I've worked as an LPN for about 2 years now and just graduated with my ADN, and it's amazing where I'm at now compared to where I was as a...

  17. Advice for student nurse regarding staff RN problem

    CharleeJo.RN replied to RADIATION_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they are all right. The bottom line is - ALWAYS - cover *your* ass. That means you ask questions to clarify anything ambiguous or not seeming right, and doing things the correct & safe way...

  18. Passed NCLEX, updated resume...no bites. HELP!!

    CharleeJo.RN replied to MandyFriedl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I made templates of my resume and cover letter for the girls on here, I can't remember where I posted the thread, but I've attached the template here for you. Should give you an idea on how to make...

    CharleeJo.RN replied to sogreenrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    oh, honey...first of all, take a deep breath and just let your body relax. maybe you should go get a professional massage? Second of all, i know EXACTLY where you're coming from. I had all those same...

  20. Wanting to be ahead of the game -Help!

    CharleeJo.RN replied to jbjbjevans's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You should see my bookcase! Pretty much any and every nursing book I've ever seen, I have bought. And I won't get rid of any of them! They helped through school but more importantly serve as resources...

  21. New Job -- Unfriendly Welcome By Staff

    CharleeJo.RN replied to Michizzle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry you're having such a crappy welcoming! My first two jobs were in LTC, and the CNA's were a force to be reckoned with. First job - the nurses told me when I started that the aides would walk all...

    CharleeJo.RN replied to CharleeJo.RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  23. Does this job sound like a scam?

    CharleeJo.RN replied to glenlorie's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Michigan and got that same EXACT email when i replied to a job advertiser a month ago. MY MISTAKE: i thought the ad was legit, sounded like it in the posting, and i sent my resume to the...

  24. (LPN)Nursing school-why i want to be a nurse

    CharleeJo.RN replied to adoglover's topic in General Students

    CNA Sam, those are good ideas and corrections - however, just remember to keep your tenses in symmetry - always use past-tense or present-tense in one sentence, don't mix them up. ADOGLOVER, great...

  25. New Grads Doomed for years to come?

    CharleeJo.RN replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Nursing

    I commuted for an hour and a half one way for my last job, then moved, and I will be commuting about 20 mins to this new job. I live in a rural setting too, so it's easier to get jobs here than in NYC...
