  1. Nursing Director removed my pts restraints

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^^Yes. A search of the CMS website regarding restraints will provide insight. A restrained individual such as the OP described is a danger to himself in and out of restraints. While in restraints,...

  2. Remember when...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Fed_RN14's topic in General Nursing

    Initially, my dad made me go (LPN '86). The economic disasters of '08 made me go (ASN-RN '10). Recent nursing trends and the domino effect strongly encouraged me to keep it moving (BSN '14). Now, the...

  3. I'm loving Community Health nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to thelittleRNwhocould's topic in General Nursing

    NurseCard, I think the OP just happened upon a community nursing position after obtaining a license here. I don't see where the OP took the course unless I misread the post. I know we didn't have that...

  4. I'm loving Community Health nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to thelittleRNwhocould's topic in General Nursing

    That community health nursing course is like Folger's coffee: it wakes you up. (Or is that Maxwell House? Oh well, I'm not a coffee drinker, anyway. LOL). It was the community health course, during my...

  5. Baby vs no baby... help!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Abby_3191's topic in General Students

    I've always told my daughter to plan her life as if she will be the sole provider. If someone enters her life and stays for the duration, this would only add to her accomplishments. If he doesn't,...

  6. New Grad as a Clinical Liaison

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Alison2209's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In addition to being able to assess the residents/patients, you will need to be able to determine how your facility/facilities can adequately provide the necessary care. You will need to know the...

  7. Graduate LPN Issues?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Meiba2k16's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    First, let me say that I applaud and admire that ONE individual that YOU left behind!! I'm sure he or she had family that she was concerned about as well; yet she stayed the course ALONE. He or she is...

  8. Failed my first test

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Did you know about this requirement before you enrolled? I had a similar situation with DeVry's placement exam for an Algebra course. I needed an 86, yet received an 84. 80-85 was a C; every exam had...

  9. New job opportunity

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to stephanie.monaco's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My thoughts given what I know about the nursing field: 1. Can you survive with $24/day less than you are making now? That amount doesn't seem like much, but in a two-week pay period, it's $240 missing...

  10. resignation before contract ends

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    Are you in the military? In your initial post, you used the term "deployed". If so, and probably if not as well, there are protocols that must be followed on both ends. If you are not feeling mentally...

  11. resignation before contract ends

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    Self-harm is definitely not an option. If you are thinking along those lines, you need to seek professional help immediately instead of attempting to reason with a manager. Reach out to a medical...

  12. resignation before contract ends

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to yejin24's topic in International Nursing

    They gave you a way out when they said "the employee would be required to pay the penalties if the contract is broken". What those penalties are would determine if I'd leave, if I were you. Being...

  13. How do YOU deal with criticism outside of work?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to misskayy's topic in General Nursing

    What was it that Rhet Butler said in the classic 'Gone with the Wind'? ;-) In reality, I don't allow people to get close enough to me to have (or know) anything to be critical of. My immediate family...

  14. Not sure if it's the career for me! Help

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Ashleighk's topic in General Nursing

    There will be blood and other excrements in midwife land....I'm just

  15. Socially needy coworkers

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I actually love animals...particularly those awesome moments caught on video! But when it comes to looking at photo after photo after photo of them, especially at work, my response is "Sorry, I don't...

  16. New Grad LPN Feeling Discouraged

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to sarahrose1994's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    See below. Fill in the names only and make copies. Edit the names as discharges/admissions occur. At the beginning of each shift, grab you a new cheat sheet to complete. This will keep you organized....

  17. Detox center Tx

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Romolina83's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Here is a link found under the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. Scroll down to the Substance Abuse section and give them a call to inquire directly. Until you make contact, I'm certain...

  18. Getting hired on probation

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

    I'm sorry to say that most places required an active, UNEMCUMBERED license in order to be considered for employment. I'm not sure I would want to work for someone who would hire a person with an...

  19. Come to work or get fired-Hurricane Irma!!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't know about Florida, but here in Georgia, this is a serious regulatory violation. The facilities here are REQUIRED to maintain AT LEAST a 3-day food and water supply to sustain the residents...

  20. HELP

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

    In all honesty, only you will know which online program works BEST for you. Factors to consider are whether or not you are looking for in-state online LPN-RN bridge programs (cheaper), or online no...

  21. Any truth to this story?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Faster's topic in Nursing News

    Oh Dear Lord!!! As if we don't have enough body parts to look at

  22. Say a prayer please...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to mmc51264's topic in Nursing News

    This is awful! Of course, I didn't know any of those onboard, but I pass by that wind farm every time to travel to Chesapeake (taking the scenic route) to visit my family. My thoughts and prayers go...

  23. NP or Nursing Informatics? Please advice

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

    Might I suggest you contact and/or apply to your selected choice of educational institutions, speak to an advisor, and express to him or her your dilemma. Each institution has graduate nursing core...

  24. lpn to rn student needing some help!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Proudnurse000's topic in LPN to RN

    Think about your current place of employment. What things are you not allowed to do, and why? More importantly, whose responsibility is it to do said things? Also you may want to think about a...

  25. New grad on med surg unit

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseLAE's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to burst your bubble, but this means nothing in the grand scheme of things. You may be eligible to transfer after 6 months, but please don't get your hopes up. If there is an open...
