   Got The Vaccine! Share Your Experience

   ThatChickOmi replied to Nurse SMS's topic in COVID

   Got the Moderna vaccine earlier this afternoon. My arm is a little sore, but nothing too crazy. It didn't actually get sore until 6-7 hours later. I feel fine otherwise. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

   Is now a good time to go into nursing? I would be leaving my well paying career to pursue this

   ThatChickOmi replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

   Before I became a nurse I worked in delivery driving a box truck for almost 9 years. The money was alright, but the work was just downright brutal, working outdoors at all weather conditions, rigorous and physical, lifting heavy stuff, working 45-50...

   ThatChickOmi replied to SamanthaS1209's topic in General Students

   I had no prior healthcare experience either and got my first job within a few months of graduating nursing school. One thing I did have going is most of my previous jobs I was at for some time (8 years, 5 years). Relax. You'll get a job. May not nece...

   Help failed NCLEX twice

   ThatChickOmi replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in NCLEX

   If you're aware of what you're doing wrong (Read the questions too quickly, don't read the whole thing, overthink) then not sure how other resources are going to help. You need to slow down, ease up on the anxiety, and focus. No NCLEX guide is going ...

   Was RN school easy for you?

   ThatChickOmi replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

   I'm not gonna lie and say it was easy but I wouldn't say it was impossibly hard either.

    My Parents are Nurses and Don’t Support My Withdrawal from Nursing School

    ThatChickOmi replied to ACR's topic in General Students

    You're better off leaving now before dumping even more cash into schooling you don't want to begin with. Your parents are being unreasonable. Not everyone is cut out for nursing, or being a star football player, or being a doctor, or a musician, and ...

    HELP I don’t know what I’m doing

    ThatChickOmi replied to ddsnnurse98's topic in General Students

    This. I'm a very introverted person and do things mostly alone. The first semester and most of second I studied solo 100% of the time, and while it kinda worked, I felt I got more out of it when I also supplemented it with studying in a small group (...

    How Do You Fit In 30mins Of Exercise In Your Work Day?

    ThatChickOmi replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't do it at work. I make time to workout on my off time. I'm a runner, so even if it means cramming a quick 3 miles after getting home from night shift, that's what it'll be.

    New Nurse, Med Error = Lost Job

    ThatChickOmi replied to NewRN9423's topic in General Nursing

    I'm basically 3 weeks off orientation myself. I'll admit that there have been times where I thought I scanned a med and I apparently didn't, sometimes the screen times out and the administration is incomplete. Nobody is perfect. You didn't hurt anybo...
