  1. Online or On campus?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to TnT's topic in LPN to RN

    I think that would depend on your learning style, motivation, and whether or not in-person interaction with classmates matters to you. Personally, I thrive in the serenity of doing my own thing....

  2. What schools allow you to challenge the LPN boards in the United States?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Some of the local community colleges did allow RN students to take the NCLEX-PN after reaching a certain point in the program (or at risk of failing their program). I’m not sure if they still do...

  3. What is YOUR favorite scrub brand?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to blueskiesandsunshine.prn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Skechers and Healing Hands/Purple Label! I love the way they hang. Straight outta the dryer, no ironing

  4. BREACHING AGENCY CONTRACT

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to zzzzzzz's topic in International Nursing

    You shouldn’t worry until you have cause to. If you’ve not yet begun working, the agency hasn’t lost anything (except whatever charges you’ve admitted to possibly needing to pay back). Here in...

  5. Dr. Pimple Popper Thinks Nurses Have No Place Educating Patients

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    ...so much so that the MAs call themselves

  6. BREACHING AGENCY CONTRACT

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to zzzzzzz's topic in International Nursing

    Contact the agency. But I think the costs become effective the minute you report for work. At least that’s how it was with my agency. We’re not considered in breach if we never started working....

  7. Not for code RED or CODE blue

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Edmond Dantes's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not sure, make the call to the charge and MD. I’m curious, what does code red mean at your facility? Every single facility I’ve worked at in my career, a code red means ‘fire’....

  8. new grad residencies or start working

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to msstiletto97's topic in General Nursing

    If you can get a SNF/LTC position, take it. Lots of them administer IV antibiotics; so you will be gaining valuable experience. Plus, this will count towards ‘paid’ RN experience. You don’t know...

  9. Farewell Esme - In Loving Memory

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    There just are no words...I had a private conversation with her once several years back, and she instantly became a lifesaver for me. I’m just speechless

  10. When you thought it was patients you needed to watch...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    https://www.MSN.com/en-us/news/crime/colorado-doctor-who-choked-nurse-in-front-of-patients-sentenced-to-30-days-in-jail/ar-BB15SB1m?ocid=spartanntp According to this article posted by AutumnLeaves,...

  11. New RN going into hospice care

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Daisy Mac's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely NOT a good idea, in my opinion. As a new RN, what would you do when the patient begins his or her final transition and the family decides at the LAST minute that they want EVERYTHING done...

  12. Hazard Pay

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to JenMH88RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Rumor has it that we’ll be getting it next week. That’s been the rumor since late March (next week). Just like ‘tomorrow’, next week never

  13. Advice - should I or shouldn’t I?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Terrible things (and good things) happen whether you’re there or not. At the risk of showing my age, I watched an episode of The Waltons where Mary Ellen was overly protective of her toddler son....

  14. How I got an A on the EXCELSIOR Anatomy Physiology Exam in 2 weeks study!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tamkin's topic in Excelsior College

    If your practice scores are in the 80s, I believe you are in line with getting an A on the real thing. Looking back, I studied for 23 days. I wanted to get the test done before Thanksgiving (before...

  15. How I got an A on the EXCELSIOR Anatomy Physiology Exam in 2 weeks study!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tamkin's topic in Excelsior College

    That was my experience when I went through it back in 2010. I failed the practice exams miserably. It is no secret that I am not a fan of the sciences. But I landed a B on the A & P exam. Of...

  16. Outdoor fields and nursing?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Port88's topic in General Nursing

    https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/570697400 This is just an example. You’d have to search for positions specific to your

  17. Graduated in March, Cannot Find a Job

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cfelt23's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, “preferred” and “required” holds two different meanings. Anything ‘preferred’ is fair game and negotiable, depending on your ability to sell yourself. Having never been employed...

  18. Vanity Plates?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Love

  19. Misconceptions/truths about specialities

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Nursing

    We are. After all, what smart nurse would keep doing what we do while being paid what we’re

  20. Misconceptions/truths about specialities

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift nurses only sleep all

  21. Vanity Plates?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to mrcleanscrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Got pulled over 4 days ago. The cop asked where was I headed. I'm in full uniform, badge and all, as I say I'm on my way to the hospital. He said, "be right back". I have a clear driving record. He...

  22. I can't believe this - wearing a mask during the test?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to guest1059427's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Being in an area that has a low incidence of COVID is truly a blessing. The question is, how do you know that the person sitting next to you or in the same room as you has not been exposed? There have...

  23. Graduated in March, Cannot Find a Job

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cfelt23's topic in General Nursing

    Have you applied to positions outside of "new grad programs"? Hiring managers will be more than aware that you are a new grad once they review your application and if they are in need of nurses and...

  24. NCLEX June 2020, 60 questions

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to JEMIK's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You can choose any one of the 50 states and contact the board of nursing to begin the process of what that state requires for nurses graduating from foreign programs. For you, I would recommend...

  25. allnurses has Become so Politicized

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to adventure_rn's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I merely posted my conversation with a former friend on this particular thread to reveal my ‘nursing’ take on things. We are all well aware of the stance of the vast majority of these events. But...
