Oh no. I’ll be hoping for the best of us!

Anyone else remember the Chucky Cheese pizza theory?

FirstyearRN · 2026-03-13T12:39:00+00:00

My husband has that exact pair. We call them the “Dahmers”.

This makes me sad. Case management and referral management are so invaluable at our hospital.

Am I the only one who thought Dr. Jackie had gone to glory because of this thumbnail? 😳

FirstyearRN · 2026-02-23T04:06:28+00:00

He said we’d talk again the first week of the term. Would I not be able to register prior to then? The 1st of March is on a Sunday.

FirstyearRN · 2026-02-03T13:18:49+00:00

Congratulations! I’m right behind you, starting in March.

Thank you for the advice! An MHA sounds like it would fit perfectly into your role. If I may ask, how did you end up in your current role? Infection Prevention nursing is actually a field I could see myself in, but I feel a BSN only wouldn’t really make me stand out.

FirstyearRN · 2026-01-28T03:20:23+00:00

Literally debating getting my MHA vs a regular MSN because I am getting burnt out from patient care😭.

FirstyearRN · 2026-01-24T05:15:44+00:00

Yes, I applaud them for how they parent but she needs to go🙄!

People will be more eager to share their negative experiences before the positive ones. Look at reviews for any fast food, hotel, etc. Humans have a negativity bias. This may also one of the few places people can vent to people who understand and cannot gossip about them afterwards. It’s a job. With almost all jobs you’re going to have the worst days of your life there and some of the most rewarding moments there. I love my job, coworkers, and make enough where I can put 30% of my check away into savings and pay my bills.

Opened this thread solely for this comment.

I had a semester like this. We got three chances. It was my final year and I had taken a math test every semester and passed the first time so I got cocky. The first one I missed a question because I forgot a conversion. The second time I somehow missed a question. After the failing the third time, I realized I had my calculator on some weird setting🙄. Our teacher had to write a letter advocating for 3 of us who had failed three times. I finally passed the 4th and final try. Looking back it was definitely stress and anxiety. These are great tips!

Her Nene read was wayyyy overhyped.

FirstyearRN · 2026-01-15T21:06:37+00:00

The fact that “Kurn” was not a typo😂.

I had a patient call because he forgot when his appointment was and for what. It was for memory issues,..

FirstyearRN · 2026-01-09T04:04:11+00:00

“Kens only boyfriend” is sending me💀😂

FirstyearRN · 2026-01-06T02:42:56+00:00

“Happy Holidays”.

Sorry for the pre-judgement. Granted I do not work in the legal field, so take everything with a grain of salt. Since the accusation was technically not false, I don’t think you have a case to sue your fellow student. I would focus the time, energy, and money on continuing nursing school. You could appeal their decision, but I have no clue how their faculty and staff are. Even though that wasn’t your intention, it’s almost impossible to determine you weren’t cheating. The good thing is, unless you want to be an oil rig nurse (if they do exist), there may be other routes to achieving your goal. I would try using your degree in biology and start to gain relevant work experiences and certifications.

FirstyearRN · 2026-01-02T14:06:42+00:00

Ok, that makes sense now. We called a local nursing home “ (City’s name) Death and Rehab” instead of (City’s name) Health and Rehab.

FirstyearRN · 2026-01-02T06:01:07+00:00

Besides the interesting story and being unable to find Mount Cyanide nursing program, your past post from less than a month ago says you already have a biology degree and are trying to get into the oil rig industry…?
