  3. No Scott Toilet Paper?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emergent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OMG! You, too???!! I thought this virus situation and wearing masks all day was making me overly sensitive. What a relief! On another note, I generally purchase groceries to last for three months; I...

  9. 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

    This thread reminds me of one from a few years ago when the last-semester nursing student (or new grad) created a thread requesting that anyone who could, point her in the direction of a nursing job...

  11. Should I go straight into a BSN program?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to lxx's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Once you become an RN and begin working, why not let your employer pay for the BSN? So, NCLEX first, job second, BSN third. Without the first, the second and third is a moot point, don't you

  15. Have you noticed a better quality of life going from full time to part time?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to A Hit With The Ladies's topic in General Nursing

    2005 is when my eyes opened. Prior to this, I thought I had to work full time because that’s just the way it was. When I left fulltime work and went agency/PRN, the crows stopped crowing, the...

  16. In Memoriam

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That’s an excellent idea! The likelihood of it...? Around here, the concept of nurse and other frontline workers as heroes is quickly fading as people begin to venture out so soon. I hope they...

  17. Dismissed, what now?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Forever Curls's topic in General Students

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Forever Curls's topic in General Students

    I don’t know what kind of program/school you were enrolled in, but some technical/vocational schools now offer ASN degrees, allowing you to sit for the NCLEX-RN. Also, although I can count the...

  22. LVN to RN transition or traditional RN??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to scorpiodez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
