  1. Blunt Fill Needles for IM injections?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cb57's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the correct name is a ‘blunt filter needle’. Knowing that may help you to derive at a more solid

  2. Does Trump have Covid?

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

    Everyone is assuming that hydroxychloroquine is what he is taking because that is the drug in question. A very reasonable assumption. However I, for one, have yet to hear him get past the "hydroxy"...

  3. Mean nurse?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to will_power27's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It depends on your unit's policy. For us, we give only pertinent information pertaining to the current admission. Anything else you'd like to know, you'd need to look it up at your leisure. There are...

  4. I feel dumb as a rock in comparison to my classmates

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nursing_1011's topic in General Students

    What exactly do you expect faculty to judge you on? Your passion won't press the button on an AED, or open the crash cart to life-saving drugs. And FYI, generally the on/off button on equipment is...

  5. Is anyone else holy crap concerned?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Two days ago, I was trying to set up home health services for a patient who desperately needs it. He refused, saying he was going to wait until this virus is over. When I tried to tell him that the...

  6. salary concern

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to dreamcatcher97's topic in General Students

    That would depend on your employer and the area, and it would not necessarily be a good thing to have your pay to equal that of a BSN. A few years ago, I worked with a second-career nurse who only had...

  7. New Older Grad Nurse Not Fitting In?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Onecoolwife's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Personally, I wouldn’t even care. If they want to get to know you better, tell them that they’re more than welcome to “come, let’s do some nurse bonding over this code brown”. I’d start...

  8. Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

    Absolutely!?

  9. Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

    It would be nice to know the answer to this. But I'm set to start in a couple of weeks and am prepared to find out for myself. Wish me

  10. Orientation As A Semi-Experienced Nurse is Aggravating

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    Orientation as an experienced nurse is a joke. Preceptors delegate the ‘dirty’ tasks that they don’t want to do, such as changing colostomy bags, trach-suctioning, anything dealing with the...

  11. Should I ignore people who say that every career should have a week dedicated to them?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    At the facility of my last travel assignment, the facility gave the nurses fleece jackets (with logo, of course) that they were allowed to wear anywhere EXCEPT on the job. Why? Because it was against...

  12. Should I ignore people who say that every career should have a week dedicated to them?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. Nothing

  13. CNA 11 Years need your help

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to L.P.CNA's topic in General Nursing

    You’ve opened yourself up for all kinds of possible accusations from the patient and/or his/her family in doing so. Professional boundaries are a ‘thing’ and facilities can terminate any...

  14. Questioning my future as a nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in General Nursing

    When was the last time you had a REAL vacation? Might be time to step back a minute and get your second wind, although where you’d go or what you’d do might be kinda iffy in the midst of a...

  15. How to deal with hate as a Nurse since we are getting special treatment during this time?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wouldn’t be too quick to believe that if I were you...unless Canada has some law that strictly forbids firing or laying off

  16. cpnre 2020

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to itsnelarmstrong's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    May I ask what the CPNRE

  17. Nurses nit-pick & endorse too many things

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cafegoer's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This exact same thing happened to me on my last travel assignment. The day nurse reported to her charge that she didn’t give a patient’s meds. The charge told her to “tell the night nurse to...

  18. Judy Mikovitz, Ph D and Anthony Fauci, MD

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

    I tell my family, turn the TV off and just save yourselves! Between the mix messages, idiotic paraphrasing, blame-shifting, finger-pointing, back-tracking, side-stepping, and outright lies, my...

  19. As an LPN, I can't help but feel like I'm not a "real nurse"

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to SlowlyButSurely's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The real issue is the ability to respond (or not) to those individuals with preconceived notions about your chosen profession. Here are a few possible comebacks: 1. Q: Hey, why don’t you get your...

  20. ADN vs BSN Nurses' Competency

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to StudentNurseMNUS's topic in General Nursing

    As a former LPN who now holds an ASN and BSN degree, my point of view is this: the nurse who'd just as well eliminate all with lesser education and/or degrees from the workforce had better be prepared...

  21. Sudden death of my dad. Where can I go for answers?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Buckie's topic in General Nursing

    Hello. Let me start by offering you my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father. I’ll try to keep this short based on experiences with my own father and a few professional...

  22. Need advice...ake chem lab or no?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to whocares2081's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I last took Chemistry in the 10th grade, and hated every second of it. As such, I made a point of choosing nursing programs that did NOT require Chemistry. If you’re OK with taking Chemistry at all,...

  23. Acceptance to programs with C in math?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Lizardqueen13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The harsh reality is that if you’re competing with students who have grades just as good as yours AND an A or B in the math portion, you’ll probably lose out. The good news is that there ARE...

  24. New RNs making more than experienced RNs

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Brittanytaylor04's topic in General Nursing

    I have to believe that you signed this of your own free will. You may have felt coerced or intimidated, or simply thought you ‘had’ to sign it...I don’t know. But I’m pretty sure that if you...

  25. Age vs Years Nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Erika Patterson's topic in General Nursing

    I’m “around” Wuzzie’s age (plus, minus, or equal, I’ll never tell?), and I’ll have 34 nursing years on June
