  1. HATE bedside nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Clueless in CA's topic in General Nursing

    You ain’t seen nothing yet! But a big part of your problem is that you’ve chosen to work in a facility with no clinical support staff. HOWEVER, depending on the atmosphere, clinical support staff...

  2. MSN-Is it too late to go back?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to G0821's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Life interrupted my plans for the MSN back in 2017. Now, it appears I'm on track to begin the MSN pursuit again come June. Like the previous poster, I too was an LPN for a very long time before going...

  3. Looking for online Statistics for Health Care course for this Summer - non credit

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to pnpvirginia's topic in General Students

    Try this. It may or may not be what you’re looking for, but I hope it helps. It’s what I used 9 years ago towards my BSN....

  4. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I’d just like to add that, interestingly enough, the NCLEX has a way of leveling the playing field. Straight-A students have failed it; barely-C students have passed it. When I see new nurses in the...

  5. Vetpro and VA hiring process

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Sbct172's topic in General Nursing

    When I did VetPro, it literally took me three days to complete it. This system requires you to list any gaps in employment from the time you graduated from nursing school until TODAY. If that goes...

  6. Feeling unfulfilled as a nurse

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

    Do you think that perhaps it’s time to transition again...to RN? There are more doors to be opened as an RN. I dabbled in quite a few areas in nursing before ‘they’ started limiting what LPNs...

  7. Bankruptcy While in nursing school

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nursinglife090's topic in General Nursing

    When I went through my (fully-accredited) ASN program, because the program was exam-based, student loans and the PELL grant was not accepted. However, the school did offer other grants based upon a...

  8. Bankruptcy While in nursing school

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nursinglife090's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me that if you’ve already paid out of pocket, there’s no issue especially if you have paid for the entire program upfront. If you haven’t, I would think it’s like any other...

  9. Partner doesn't like that I'm a nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to AmyR's topic in General Nursing

    Did you recently meet him? Why is the thought of your being a nurse such a problem to him now? Does he not understand that there is no need to pay a nurse to care for a person who is not sick? My...

  10. Blood administration

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Serotonin2's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I prime the line with saline and start the pump at a KVO rate to get as close of a guarantee that the IV is still patent while I go to retrieve the blood from the blood bank. I did have...

  11. Need some advice

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to LH366's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone around you is probably feeling defeated. This pandemic is sci-non-fi. Do the best you can just like everybody else. But speak up when faced with something you simply DON’T know how to do....

  12. Home health nurse working as a maid?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    Quit.

  13. Non accredited ADN, accredited BSN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Meltamara's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have your RN license, yet? My state won’t issue a license if the initial nursing program wasn’t accredited. This is a screenshot from a random RN job posting with the VA. The statement...

  14. New Grad with extreme anxiety and feeling unsure about nursing career...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Aliceozwalker's topic in General Nursing

    Not every nurse is cut out for Acute Care. Granted, that year or two of hospital experience would open more doors for you; but not at the expense of your physical and emotional well-being. One of the...

  15. So H&H are 2 different labs: why only say one value?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to COVIDNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    OK, then my initial thought was hyperdiuresis. This, along with my ‘incorrect’ response, were the only two conditions that I came to mind. If this one is incorrect as well, I have nothing else...

  16. So H&H are 2 different labs: why only say one value?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to COVIDNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    Only guessing on the fly, but I’d say diabetes insipidus might be worth a discussion, given the volume and characteristics of the urinary output, which is depleting the patient’s

  17. Why are some RNs rarely busy, while others are always busy

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    THIS!^^^^^^^^^^^^ It’s Sunday morning. Don’t get me

  18. Rural ER Nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to MuayThaiGuy's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you keep the ICU position, you’ll be setting yourself up to someday manage an ER.? Can you offer to pick up a PRN shift at the rural ER? With your EMT background and continued training...

  19. Have you ironically lost out on a donated perk because you were at work

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Having worked nights for more years than I can count, I’ve missed every single “appreciation” event hosted during what used to be Nurses Week, now termed Nurses Day (depending on who you work...

  20. Another Quitter

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to BlessYourHeartt's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In a previous post, I detailed my reasons for leaving Acute Care, which had nothing to do with the COVID situation. As the days go by, I read about organizations temporarily licensing graduate nurses...

  21. Has anyone left nursing job due to COVID19 virus?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tirednurseandmomma14's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My last shift in acute care was exactly 4 weeks ago tonight. Although there was a COVID patient in the mix of my assignment on a general med-surg unit, it was not the reason I left. I've been a...

  22. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    So your personal experience is more important than mine. Got it! I'm done

  23. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    There again, I am going by what they said and if they want to get tested, it is their right. I have never told them NOT to get the flu shot. I do not force my beliefs on anyone else. My whole argument...

  24. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    So now, you are suggesting that what I an seeing is not happening in my own family and that I go against my mom's wishes by reconsidering having her injected with something that she has refused since...

  25. Are anti-vaccine people conspiracy theorists generally?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my $.02. I'm not against the flu vaccine. I'm against being forced to take it by holding my job over my head. If the vaccine is ‘that' important, then pass the necessary laws to make...
