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

    MissCharlieRN posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    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...

  2. So...do you believe this?

    MissCharlieRN replied to leonurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

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

  3. 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...

  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...

  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...

  6. 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...

  7. Peers critical of my new grad job choice

    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...

  8. Peers critical of my new grad job choice

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for all of your kind responses

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

    MissCharlieRN replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

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

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

    MissCharlieRN replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

  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...

  12. Well, tomorrow is almost here...

    MissCharlieRN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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!

  13. Well, tomorrow is almost here...

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

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

  14. Well, tomorrow is almost here...

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

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

  15. Well, tomorrow is almost here...

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

  16. Very Concerned (please read)

    MissCharlieRN replied to CuriousGreorge7's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school, we had to submit a drug test each year. Some hospitals required a drug test prior to doing clinical rotations there, so I had to pretty much get one every semester...

  17. Class of 2010!! let's hear you!

    MissCharlieRN replied to pinkynbd_99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Pinning is on the 8th! My family just arrived from Jersey tonight and I'm so

  18. Job Fair Frustration

    MissCharlieRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just a vent here... Today there was a job fair at my college. None of the hospitals that showed up at the job fair were currently hiring. I'm so damn frustrated right now. Why the hell do a job fair...

  19. "Yinz"

    MissCharlieRN replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I moved to Pittsburgh from Jersey and I do have to say this: It drives me up the wall when my instructors are teaching us and saying "yinz" and "yinz guys" and it's so irritating. But only because...

  20. What color are your school uniforms?

    MissCharlieRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    My uniform is white pants, white jacket, white shoes, and navy blue scrub top. They recently made a change so that the entire uniform is navy blue, but if you wanted to wear the white pants you were...

  21. Just a freakout.

    MissCharlieRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok. Phew. I need to just vent a little bit. I will be graduating in May (Holy cow, it's so soon!) and I'm starting to freak. My meltdown this time? Well, it's about, go figure, getting a job. The...

  22. Just a freakout.

    MissCharlieRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, I've applied for tons of jobs at all the local hospitals around here. Haven't heard from any of them. I've called and left messages and they haven't called me back or anything. Unfortunately...

  23. I've changed my mind again

    MissCharlieRN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Let's see here... So far I wanted to do hospice. Then I leaned towards Med-surg. Then I couldn't wait to be a peds nurse! I've never had a desire to be an OB nurse but I definitely wanted a baby for a...

  24. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    MissCharlieRN replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    To a very select few: 1. Why would you get your eyebrow pierced while in nursing school (when the guidelines specifically say you cannot have facial piercings) and then throw a fit when the...

  25. Stuck-up, know it all students?

    MissCharlieRN replied to student_nurse24's topic in General Students

    I have to say I disagree. I've worked my tail off in nursing school and have a great relationship (both working and social) with the majority of my classmates. There are some, however, that drive me...
