The 7 Day Metamorphosis of an Attention-Seeking Newly-Minted Nurse

[Guest856929]

Day 1: OMG! I just took the NCLEX today and I think I failed. I’m only here for reassurance from strangers so that I feel good. What’s an easy way of finding out my results? I’ve heard about trying the website with a credit card thing and if it doesn’t accept it, I passed, but I’m not sure. Please give me feedback. I’ve been stressing and praying for the last 2 weeks since I took it. I have a job pending in the CVICU. I hear nurses their eat they’re young. NETY anyone? Oh! I’ve read the most recent evidence-based literature on it and I’m wright on this. If you disagree with my POV you’re just old, jealous, and stuck in your ways. If you correct my perfect grandma, punctuation, incongruence, anachronism, or incoherence, I will conveniently get outraged and cancel you for being an ignorant and bigoted Neanderthal. 
 

2 days later: OMG I passed. I only had 65 questions. The NCLEX ought to be made harder. I can’t believe I went to school for four years and obtained MY BSN just to be reduced to questions about minimum competency. Nursing needs a revolution. 
 

3 days later: OMG! Look at my stats I’m applying to Harvard direct entry online NP Program. What do you guys think? I’ve decided bedside nursing is overrated and not for me. 
 

4 days later: OMG! ALERT! This is a vent post!! (note the redundant exclamation marks!!) I’m on orientation on my 7th job and I hate my preceptor!! She’s so lazy!! I’m doing everything and she’s just at the nurses’ station eating chips, gossiping, and getting fatter! Is it okay if I ask for a new receptor?!? (Are you asking/requesting or demanding?) Oh!! Don’t dare correct me or offer any contrarian POV, I no it all! Lastly, I’ll appreciate any feedback, thanks guys. It’s so nice to have an online family/community of people going through the same struggle, ya dig?!!
 

5 days later: OMG! I got caught diverting and fired, but I landed a dream job the next day. I’m so confused as how this will affect my chances of getting into CRNA school ? Anyone else been through the same ordeal? Oh and my marriage is now failing, my dog had diarrhea while my aunt was on a trip in Cambodia. My sister put monkey glue on her hair and everyone is calling me because I’m a nurse and I hate the attention. Please help and validate my assertions because I’m sensitive to positive criticism. Who needs such negativity in life? Ugh! 

6 days Later: OMG! Thank you so much for the responses and staying on topic guys. I'm like so overwhelmed. Have you noticed how people usually respond to OPs with impertinent feedback? It’s like so gross! Anywho, so, tomorrow we have a pizza party at work, but I’m scared because I only want to eat the pepperoni and toss away the crust because I’m gluten-free on Keto diet. Will that be offensive to the bitter biter old nurses? By the way, our dog’s name is dawg. He’s a vegan chihuahua and bulldog mixed mutt but identifies as a walrus. I don’t like it when people misidentify him as a canine. It's like so offensive. Sorry, I digressed with impertinent/irrelevant info. Anywho, so, my husband is downstairs with Dawg smoking PCP while playing video games in his Scoobie-doo onesie. My husband’s girlfriend is there too and she wants me to braid her hair, but she’s bald headed. What should I do? OMG! I’m like, so, stressed, right now! Please provide relevant and positive feedback only. 

7 days Later: OMG!! Wow! I can't believe some of the responses. I’m like so outraged right now to the highest level of outragetivity. I’m flummoxed, appalled, dismayed, flabbergasted, hoodwinked, and bamboozled at how callous, insensitive, and ignorant some people are. Ugh! 

Namaste.

I hate to admit this, but this is spot on. ?

[Emergent, RN]

Very exaggerated, and hilarious! ?

Namaste ?

Omigod, Attention-Seeking Newly-Minted Nurse, I am soooooo glad that you started this thread!

I was feeling so alone! Alone like  a stone! I was just thinking, "Where Have All The Members Gone?" and then there was you.  And then Salisburysteak! And Emergent!

I can now sigh a breath of relief...

*sigh!*

 

[Davey Do]

Oh no! I'm having a panic attack!

No one has replied to this thread in like, two minutes!

You left out the so im part. Im a new nurse and im currently working weekends in LTC.  Crucial to any post has to be out of touch managers who know zero about CVICU, the OLD nurses that never heard of computer charting and hate me because im young and beautiful. eVERYBODY bullies me. The parking attendant rolled his eyes at me. ICU has always been my dream job while im working on my  DNP. don't judge.

It is so very nice to be on this General Nursing forum and have fun with on-topic subjects like bashing young Nurses!

I mean, really: Who wants to discuss boring off-topic subjects like Licensed Professionals providing alternative care to Patients, or motives for individuals to pursue two major life choices, like becoming a Nurse and a Parent simultaneously.

We should have to go to the Breakroom's Coffee Lounge if we want to discuss those subjects!

Well, the thread has found its rightful place. Thanks. I vehemently disagree with the bashing assertion however. Try, guiding...

Yet again, I missed all the good stuff.  But have to agree, the OP is spot on.

Sorry, don't see any useful purpose for this type of thread. Not supportive, instructive or providing  info/support to AN members.. I perceive it as rude, divisive, especially towards new members.  Bowing out.
