    ThatChickOmi replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Disaster Preparation

    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

    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...

    Nursing Tips I have no prior experience in healthcare field

    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...

    ThatChickOmi replied to medapop's topic in General Students

    Graduated in May 2019, NCLEX in early July, started first job mid-August. I agree, start applying ASAP. Many in my cohort started their searches as early as April. I started applying and set up my...

    Help failed NCLEX twice

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

    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...

    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...

    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

    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...

    New Nurse, Med Error = Lost Job

    ThatChickOmi replied to NewRN9423's topic in General Nursing

    We use Epic at my hospital too. Did Epic not prompt you that the meds were administered too closely to each other? It'll have a pop-up and you need to select "RN Reviewed/Dose Appropriate". I can...

    Recent Grad: So Many Feelings...

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

    Let me clarify, I know to always ask if it's a situation I've never had or an unfamiliar intervention but sometimes I'm like 99% sure I know the answer but I need validation to "be sure". Like whether...

    Ridiculous class schedule, please help

    ThatChickOmi replied to PrinPrin2's topic in General Students

    If you still live at your parents place and don't work, you can probably pull it off. Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to do that while still working 25-30 hours a week. Microbiology is a rough...

    ThatChickOmi replied to sweetnurse-13's topic in General Students

    Usually before anybody offers any sort of input, people want to see what you've come up with first. This isn't the place if you're looking for someone to just hand you

    Failed Nclex after 2 years now what?

    ThatChickOmi replied to Ilovelife1234's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    6-7 hours a day 5 times a week? That seems like serious overkill. I used like 90% UWorld and maybe 10% Saunders NCLEX review and passed on my first try. I did questions, questions, questions....And...

    How often do you wash your scrubs? :)

    ThatChickOmi replied to RNinheart's topic in General Nursing

    After every shift, but I'm not paranoid to the point that I change in my non-existent garage/mudroom. My shoes go along with my other running shoes (on the bottom) on the rack and I wash my scrubs...
