Lol! nice.

I mostly agree with everyone. If you know that you have the job, update your stuff. Definitely show pride and how excited you are :).

Here in the rural areas of western Indiana, "don't have anything to worry about" is a very popular set of last words before something bad happen (usually some form of boat/atv accident). I would have at least not treated him like a total outsider (especially since he was sitting there right in front of the station). He is need of help and he is asking for it. Hopefully he gets it. I believe there is always going to be that part of us that get nervous/scared about handling someone like that. However, you guys could have provided you know a quiet setting for him and offer to help things to clean up with. Again, I just wouldn't have treated him like a complete outsider. I agree you should completely get away and I agree with the idiots hire idiots post lol.

They mean no harm by it. You can look around AN and see countless threads where people are still looking for a job after graduating 6+months ago. I imagine those nurses would give anything to just have a bad day at work, because at least they have a job. That is why you should be a little grateful you got the chance to get a job and start wondering your way into the world of nursing. @OP I'm not a nurse yet, but I know what you are going through thanks to my mom. When she started at the hospital, she would constantly have bad days one after another. There is nothing you can do about it. She learned quickly that you can't let everything get to you. You have to roll with the punches and go with the motion of the ocean. If it helps, just take a second when you get frustrated and take a deep breathe. You could also write things down that way you can help keep track of things. Somethings can't be avoided such as the computer issues. During those times just remember the nurses before you and how they did it. Also just remember why you became a nurse and how you are helping people. That should help bring you up and over thing you come across.

There are some ways to find out quicker. I do believe she was talking about the state's licensing state. You can go on there and click verify license or something like that. You will be able to search for your name and see if you are a licensed nurse or not .

Congrats :)
