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

   MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   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...

   MissCharlieRN replied to Toad38350's topic in General Nursing

   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...

   MissCharlieRN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

   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...

10. How I Got My First Nursing Job

    MissCharlieRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    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...

11. CCAC Boyce Campus Review

    MissCharlieRN replied to Bagle's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    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...

    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!
