    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    ThatChickOmi replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I'm a firm believer of not mentioning anything too specific about work online, even "closed groups". I'll allude to the fact that I'm in healthcare, and maybe vaguely say something about having...

    Does it get better ?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Newbnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Right there with you. On my 5th week orientation as a new grad at my first job.....It's slowly getting better but I still have my moments. I'm still a little frazzled giving report, it's a little...

    Any advice if your boss (an RN manager) isn't willing to work with your school schedule?

    ThatChickOmi replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    Have you considered going down to part time at work? That's what I had to do when I went to nursing school. Between clinicals, studying, studying, and more studying, and projects, it wouldn't have...

    ThatChickOmi replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    We had a few of those in our cohort when I was in school.....they're the worst. They'll argue about how their answer was correct and turns out they were

    I need help

    ThatChickOmi replied to Kimmi_1993's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I graduated in May 2019 too. I think I spent 6 hours a WEEK total studying. I gave myself roughly a month to prepare. I used solely UWorld and dabbled a little in my Saunders NCLEX Review book. I had...

    Have you restarted a nursing program?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Stephab07's topic in General Students

    A few of my classmates had emergencies (death in family, etc) come up during the program had had more clinical absences than you did, but they also made up for the clinicals in simulation lab and...

    Is Nursing Dangerous?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Bones17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess nursing could have its risks but any job can, really.... I've been a delivery truck driver for 9 years almost, and I've had almost every stupid accident you can think of...slipping, falling,...

    Can't afford nursing school

    ThatChickOmi replied to Sjean31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome! It'll go by quickly, trust me on this. I just graduated from my ADN program in May, passed my NCLEX earlier this month, and start my new job next

    Can't afford nursing school

    ThatChickOmi replied to Sjean31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I agree with the ADN being way cheaper route, it also depends on the location. I'm in CT and between tuition (and this is ONLY the nursing/pharm coursework)books, and supplies I probably spent...

    Help! I failed.... now what?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Page Gorham's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I agree with UWorld. I used mostly that, as well as went through my Saunders NCLEX Review book. It's really a great

    My STRUGGLE With The NCLEX!!!

    ThatChickOmi replied to 00MissRN00's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Everyone gets anxiety from time to time but if it's really beginning to hinder your progress in your career/goals maybe it's time to ask about medications, at the very least to take prior to the next...

    My STRUGGLE With The NCLEX!!!

    ThatChickOmi replied to 00MissRN00's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I personally find that the Mark Klimek files didn't really help much for me. UWorld and the Saunders NCLEX Review book is what I focused on. You say you have really bad test anxiety...maybe...

    2nd attempt - 265 questions!!

    ThatChickOmi replied to RN2B88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yeah, one of my classmates took the NCLEX the same day I did, and he too, had all 265 questions. He passed with flying colors. The # of questions doesn't mean

    My STRUGGLE With The NCLEX!!!

    ThatChickOmi replied to 00MissRN00's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Whether you passed or not is going to change if you put off checking your results. Just check. I felt kinda weird too after taking it, wasn't very sure. It shut off for me at 75. One of my classmate...

    Calming NCLEX Nerves

    ThatChickOmi replied to _Cecilia_'s topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was more freaked out bout how calm I was about the NCLEX than anything...and trust me when I say I'm an anxious person. I did the entire UWorld bank and one assessment, and I skimmed through my...

    Admissions Info For Confused High School Senior!

    ThatChickOmi replied to JHa32's topic in General Students

    New grad in need of NCLEX studying advice

    ThatChickOmi replied to morelaur's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used basically entirely UWorld. I did 60-90 questions almost every day for 3 weeks, and did the assessment two days prior to the test. I tried to get into the Mark Klimek lectures but I honestly...

    Starting nursing school this fall. Any tips?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Jeage's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Honestly, there is no real way of preparing...I skimmed some of the chapters before it started but I made no real commitments. Practice the math though, because we had a math competency test I think a...
