  2. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    You’re right! My comments were meant to reflect on one’s own responsibility and self-awareness for safety and staying out of harm’s way. Yet they have fueled a fire that some refuse to let die...

    That is not what I said nor suggested. That is your interpretation of what I

  4. Which Job for the Long Road?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Apple_Gel's topic in General Nursing

    Heck, I didn’t last in an LTAC even with my many years of experience!! Codes practically every other night! Vents and critical drips galore on more patients at that level of care than I could...

  5. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    I agree that the system as a whole needs to be addressed. I agree that there are sooooo many people with authority who are abusing that authority. But to hold hatred for all policemen is equivalent to...

  6. allnurses has Become so Politicized

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

    I parted ways with a dear friend over this situation as a whole. We are both African-American and our dispute was over the cop/75-year-old situation. I absolutely did not and do not agree with the...

    Are you a student or a former practicing nurse? If you are a student who has never been licensed, Your first step would be to pick a state in which you plan to live and contact that state’s Board of...

  8. How important is facility reviews to you?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t worry about reviews because I always have an active Plan B before I walk through any door. However, as a float nurse turned traveler, I never concerned myself with the politics of any...

  9. Medication error wrong patient

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Student Rpn's topic in General Nursing

    I made a medication error back in 2002. The patient wanted something for nausea. She had Phenergan ordered; I gave her Morphine. Back in those days, both of these drugs were in a 25-vial carton. We...

  12. Nursing School and Career with Back Problems

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to person115's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing, you will be subjected to prolonged sitting, standing, and walking. That doesn’t include the many tasks you’d be performing in between and/or simultaneously. There’s also the...

  13. New Nurse - unhappy with first job

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Flashsomefang's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should stick it out. Just because your state is temporarily allowing pre-NCLEX practice doesn’t mean the facility has to hire you as a pre-NCLEX nurse. If you leave this facility, you...

  14. Is this bad sign?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to dlee50's topic in General Nursing

    Checking references is part of the process. Sometimes it takes longer for your references to respond. You might want to give a heads-up to your references so that they’ll be on the lookout for...

  15. Not able to be with mother with dementia in hospital due to Covid

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh mercy! If I was able to retire, my problems would be solved. I’d have her right here with me. I’m trying to hold on for another 7 years... And ABSOLUTELY we need to find a work-around for this...

  16. Not able to be with mother with dementia in hospital due to Covid

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to agree with my mom’s facility because not all residents have nurses as family members. Unless I can be with her 24 hours a day, this is as close as I can get to being reassured that she is...

  17. Not able to be with mother with dementia in hospital due to Covid

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m in a very similar situation. I’m my mom’s only daughter. She’s in a personal care home because of the dementia. I haven’t seen her in nearly 3 months now. Everyday, I think about...

  18. Just not _____ enough

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nuked's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you ever considered that the problem may not be you? Unless I missed something in your post, you are the only critic here; your managers and coworkers haven’t complained about your...

  19. Challenges with MSN in full swing already...

    NotMyProblem MSN posted a topic in General Students

    ...and classes have not even begun yet! Rioting and protests in New York; rioting and protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As my luck would have it, my former college (BSN program) only mails...

  20. Is it responsible of me to try to become a nurse?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to SaltyFish513's topic in General Students

    Are you being treated, I.e. on medications? Are you always this ‘panicky’ (for lack of a better term)? The tone of your post had me thinking, “heck no! Nursing is not for you!” But one can...

  21. How to accept criticism and not be scared of any managers or families?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking, but here goes... First and foremost, know the policies and procedures of your facility. Secondly, take care of your patients in a manner that coincides...

  22. Where to go as a nurse if you dont want to work with patients at ALL?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    And teach what? The OP doesn’t want to work with patients. He or she is really not the best person to teach others how to take care of

  23. RN to BSN program?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to lily chen's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of programs will accept low GPAs if it’s at least a 2.0 to 2.5. However, for anything lower than that (or maybe even at that point), they may either enroll you ‘conditionally’ on a...

  24. Is now a good time to go into nursing? I would be leaving my well paying career to pursue this

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Divalish918's topic in General Students

    I’d think long and hard about that if I were you. Depending on the area, new RNs’ entry-level pay is barely over $20/hr. I know when I transitioned from LPN to RN and left the metro area, a...

  25. New GraduateWith 3 Incident Reports

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Taito29's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I see. I don’t agree with it at all, but I see. I hope they change the practices very soon before someone is seriously injured. No matter the country, how anyone could determine a brand new...
