  1. What's in-and-out?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to table4's topic in General Students

    I'm inclined to believe that the In-and-Out was due at 1400 (2:00 p.m.) perhaps(?) Usually, if the amount in the bladder exceeds a certain amount, but far less than 1400ml, the physician would order...

  2. Albany pediatrics PCS

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hoganjl30's topic in Excelsior College

    I've never been to New York; so I can comment on what they may or may not have. What I will say is that, for the hand-washing stations, if you're not sure what to do, wash your hands at each station....

  3. Old Dog, New Tricks

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I just started a new position two months ago. It was definitely a culture shock. Everyday, I start my shift with either OMG!, or WT*!, or D***!!!, or I'm completely speechless! I had been trying for...

  4. Butte lvn-rn

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Catrinacrk1's topic in School, College Programs

    I doubt you'd find info about one college under another college's thread. Maybe try posting under the tab 'U.S.' and selecting the state that houses Butte College for a more narrowed response,...

  5. Please can you help me.

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

    In reading your other post, this form is clearly a review of the areas in which you were below the passing level during your NCLEX attempt. You'd receive better advice if you come right out and say,...

  6. Audit nursing class in all unsuccessful area of the NCLEX- RN?

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

    I'm guessing someone wants you to review each course pertaining to your areas of weakness as indicated by a failed NCLEX candidate performance record. Are you in/from the United States? Is this part...

  7. Please can you help me.

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

    I'm sorry. We can't help you with this. The list are things that you need to actually experience, such as the section for medication administration. You have to actually do hands-on medication...

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

    If you are looking for a preceptor, I'm pretty sure this will need to be done in

  9. Please can you help me.

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

    Are you looking for a preceptor or the like? This looks like one of the orientation checklists from a previous employer...only it was unit-specific and required the new-hire to be signed off on the...

  11. Microbiology Exam

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rongonepiece's topic in Excelsior College

    I had to read and read and re-read just to retain even the slightest bit of information that I had no interest in. In those situations, I did a lot of word associations to link answers with...

  12. Microbiology Exam

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rongonepiece's topic in Excelsior College

    I used Microbiology Demystified, stugygroup101 notes, Microbioligy for Dummies, and anything else along the lines of Micro for idiots that I could get my hands

  13. What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    I was in management for 7 years during the late 80s to mid 90s. After leaving that position, I vowed to never ever work in management again. I do NOT want to be called about ANYTHING when my shift is...

  15. Clinical makes me want to quit

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hopefulmidwife1's topic in General Students

    This is just unacceptable in my opinion. Your instructor should be there guiding you. Being shown in sim lab is one thing. You should be checked off in the lab and on a real patient before being left...

  16. Need some light

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to humble-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    It has been my experience that any med/surg unit has the potential for overflow general med/surg patients. You should expect to have anywhere from 5-7 patients as the norm. Admissions and discharges...

  17. Where can I get male only patients?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    I am just curious as to whether or not, on DAY ONE, the OP was told that there would be individuals from all walks of life, including females, that he'd have to provide care for even if it went...

  18. "Allow LPNs to challenge the Board of Nursing to obtain RN licensure" viral post

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhhhh.....now it all makes sense. Like-minded individuals. (I would go all-in with this, but I'll leave it at

  19. Tips For LPNs Going For Their RN Degree

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

    With Excelsior College, you wouldn't be allowed to complete the clinical component (which is actually a clinical examination, not you standard clinical learning experience), until you've completed ALL...

  20. My Exam Application Mishap; What should I do now?

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

    If the Board of Nursing is within driving distance, I would take a hard copy, along with my verifiable identification, any applicable fees, and offer to hand-deliver directly to someone at the...

  21. Math help

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cvinson30's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OP, when faced with similar questions in the future, just disregard the zeroes and focus on the whole numbers instead...until you become more familiar with calculating dosages. When you reach your...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Smexy.tm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students
