  1. With a MSN, why do I need a BSN?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to INrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever worked for an employer who said that, even though you have your ACLS certification, they still needed to see evidence of current BLS? One would think the ACLS would suffice, but it does...

  2. Worst day ever!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CallMeSally's topic in General Students

    Basically, the OP found what was believed to be a cheat sheet (or midterm examination topics) for the midterms on her friends phone, and sent it to a group of people without her friend's permission....

  3. How do I get started??

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

    Me too. I walked into Barnes and Noble directly across the street from Pearson Vue after testing out of my final course requirement. The guide I selected was the one that felt very soft and...

  4. HELP!!!!! ASAP

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Amelia_123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your typos have given me the laugh I really needed today. Thank

  5. NCLEX exam without going to nursing school?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Mora101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are quite a few nursing programs that allow (and some even require) its students the option to obtain certain certifications and an LPN license once they reach a certain point within its...

  6. LPN OR BSN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Zelda30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seems to me that you are set on becoming an LPN regardless of the advice you receive here. If you want a liberal arts degree, get it. If you want to become an LPN, do so. If you want to become an RN,...

  7. Failed nclex multiple times

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

    With all due respect, you asked for opinions and you were given some. Your thoughts have been failing you...perhaps because you received inadequate training to influence those thoughts. As for your...

  8. My Family can't see me as a Nurse but it's my dream

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Adrianaboydlewis's topic in General Students

    (((hands wringing))) Oh Boy! I can't wait to see what stories will be written about nursing!! (((hands

  9. Need advice

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to starnurse2b16's topic in LPN to RN

    Excelsior College accepts financial aid for the course-based option. If you're looking to take exams only, yes, you would have to pay out of pocket. As for failing the CPNE, you receive a study guide...

  10. Unsure about RN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to PotentialNurse17's topic in General Students

    I think you've already answered your own question: "after a few setbacks, I needed a job". A lot of people start eyeballing nursing after other jobs fail them. It is rare, in my opinion, that nurses...

  11. Signature on Passport

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

    Your typed signature should read the same as your written

  12. Monitoring Fluid Restriction

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

    Nowhere to write it down?? Carry your own I&O sheet in your pocket since you know this info will be required before your shift ends. Or better yet, create one for your facility to be kept at the...

  13. Signature on Passport

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

    Your passport, SS#, and Drivers License number must always match. If they do not, I'd highly recommend not registering with Pearson Vue until they do match. It will save you a lot of red tape and...

  14. Starting the 4 year RN program at 29

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to bluestar776's topic in General Students

    I was about to turn 20 when I entered my Practical Nursing program; 45 when I received my ASN; 49 when I received my BSN; and will be 54 when I receive the MSN. Talk about your continuing education....

  15. Uncertainty

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to StudentN95's topic in General Students

    You can expect your fears and anxiety to begin to subside gradually once you are at least 6-12 months into working as an actual nurse. You are in unfamiliar territory all the way around. Right now,...

  16. A&P is making no sense at all!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Guest1034149's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Sign on room when pt dies for no more svcs. in room/ courtesy sign - do you have one?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to deweydecimal13501's topic in General Nursing

    We had a sign of a bright, reddish-orange sunset over the ocean that we placed on the

  18. I hope I'm not alone........

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rscs92's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You have to do what you feel you need to do. If you think you can handle fulltime work and school, go for it. You won't know until you try. Start out with one or two classes and see how that goes....

  19. Renewing license

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

    Search your BON website. If they issued you a license, they have an explanation of how to renew said license. Here in Georgia, we had to set up an account in which we can go in an renew licenses,...

  20. RN Program Combined ALL Classes into One Class, HELP!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to HeatheRND's topic in General Students

    Is this an accredited program? I sincerely hope you haven't stumbled across one of those fly-by-night nursing programs whose only goal is to swindle unsuspecting nurse-hopefuls out of their...

  21. Husband is not ready for me to go to nursing school!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

    You have pre-reqs to be done. Thousands of schools accept CLEP credits. Choose your program, call and speak to an advisor to see which CLEP courses are accepted (or go to their website to find out)....

  22. Should I keep my Paramedic Card

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Molemedic's topic in General Nursing

    I'd keep it for now until I land the position I want if I were you. Valid healthcare-related certifications tend to mean more than expired ones in the nursing world. It may help you along the way, in...

  23. CPNE Round 2, ding ding

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    No, it's not. You just really need to have those critical elements down pat. What I do hope to see one day soon, though, is that if and when EC recognizes that a CE was partly responsible for the...

  24. I am at a lost and need help LPN to RN or straight into RN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to chenr417's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having a bachelors degree already, I'd suggest you go straight for the RN. You are correct; you will need to bring those grades up in order to be competitive. This may mean repeating some courses that...

  25. Nurses leaving on the fast train

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jadeclnc's topic in General Nursing

    I have to ask how it is that after only a "brief time", one can appropriately describe these short-timers as "the best nurses". Is it because they've talked a very good game in the short time that...
