    ThatChickOmi replied to rabiamirou's topic in General Students

    LOL. YES. I'm 33 (34 next month) and most nights I barely make it past 9-9:30pm. But my current job (non nursing) requires me to be up at 4-430am so yeah.....I sometimes wonder how the hell I'm gonna...

    Is an ABSN program worth the debt?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Stella36's topic in General Students

    I'd go with the ADN route. Think about it. You're likely not going to make $110-130K in your first year as a nurse, why would you do that to yourself? You can get your ADN for probably $10-12K, and...

    Failing

    ThatChickOmi replied to nitapie65's topic in General Students

    I recommend talking it over with your advisor and see what they say. Maybe become friendly with some students you know are doing well, and study with them. I don't know your study habits, but if...

    Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    ThatChickOmi replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Heh. I'm not even a nurse yet and I hear comments similar to this one often. "Oh??? An RN?? It takes a special person to be an RN I am so proud of you!!" Me: (Thinking) Ummm...well, I'm tired of...

    Is anyone else afraid of becoming a nurse?

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

    I'm not worried about it being a thankless/exhausting job at times, I've already dealt with that at my current job of 8+ years (Not healthcare related) so I've already got that part down lol. It's...

    Commuting to clinicals from 1 hr away??

    ThatChickOmi replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

    There's a student in my class that lives like 1-1:15 away from the school further upstate...depending upon site, tack on another 20-30 mins. I remember when she was in my clinical group second...

    Feeling incompetent as a student nurse...

    ThatChickOmi replied to Nathalie Im's topic in General Students

    I still question my ability to be a competent nurse occasionally and I'm in my last semester of my ADN program. I'm usually okay on the unit but every once in a while I have a "Whoa, what the bleep...

    Can’t cope with death, should I even go to nursing school?

    ThatChickOmi replied to danielle0206's topic in General Students

    Maybe coming to terms with why exactly you're this uncomfortable with patient death would help. Is it because you do not understand the process? You're going to do probably a few lectures in your...

    ThatChickOmi replied to WorldEscapes's topic in General Students

    Man, I'm on my last semester of school and I still feel this way sometimes. I have social anxiety and the anticipation of walking into a patient's room for the first time always gets me ansty,...

    Nope. I just let it dry up and flake off. It's a real money saver, you

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    ThatChickOmi replied to carti's topic in General Students

    While I see your point and can understand why you feel this way, I wouldn't compare any sort of potentially invasive medical care to eating at a restaurant. I mean, you're gonna probably see your...

    When you hear the word "nurse," do you think male or female?

    ThatChickOmi replied to OldDude's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've gotten the opposite at my job. I'm still in nursing school but my current occupation of 8+ years is driving a delivery truck. I can't tell you how many times I'm doing my thing in the back of the...

    Nursing school has pushed me to the edge. Anyone else?

    ThatChickOmi replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

    I'm kinda on the same page Horseshoe is on. Nursing school can be tough no doubt, it can be harder for some than for others. But you keep saying you do the bare minimum, you're consistently late to...

    Working during school

    ThatChickOmi replied to Ztmatth13's topic in General Students

    My current job (been there since 2010) has nothing to do with healthcare at all but it's been flexible and adequate income for me even through this nursing program. I generally work Friday-Sunday...

    Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    Difficulty of anything is pretty subjective. Some people excel in the academic portion and do poorly in clinical, others it's vice versa. It doesn't mean they're not smart. They've gotta be somewhat...

    Inappropriate instructor/student relationship?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    Hah, seriously.... This sounds very high schoolish. If it doesn't directly effect you, just let it go. Who
