  1. Should I quit?Would you quit?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Elicia.Matthea's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As for the pay, your employers are not required to pay anyone RN wages except an RN. Even then, it is not 'required' because if an RN would agree to work for free, that RN would not receive a...

  2. MSN education

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

    As I was reading this, I was thinking, "OMG! I'm finally losing it! I don't even remember typing this!!". This was me right up until a week ago, when the lightbulb finally came on. I just started a...

  3. License at Risk? Put up or shut up,,,

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've known of two LPNs back in the 80s (substance abuse), and a kinda-sorta in the 90s. The kinda-sorta individual didn't lose a license per-se'; instead, after she was caught cheating on the NCLEX...

  7. took nclex pn.. shut off at 200

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jaytin3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This may sound a bit 'simple' or blunt. But you fail if you answer enough questions incorrectly. The type of question doesn't matter. Your chances are 50/50, in all honesty. If the computer shut off...

  8. Will an rn to bsn online program except my excelsior Asn degree?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Dhead's topic in Excelsior College

    Your greatest issue will be if you take EC's sciences without a lab component. Ask your program of interest, as a previous poster suggested, but make specific reference to the sciences. No program in...

  11. Excelsior Pass Rates!!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to j1l4d's topic in Excelsior College

    I agree with Pixie.RN. If they still allow you 2 1/2 hours to complete a PCS, you should not have been rushed. It was up to the CE to stop the clock if the patient had to go somewhere, and restart it...

  12. I am suspended

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to LPNewbie's topic in Patient Medications

    Fourth error in what kind of timeframe? What type of errors were these? Were there significant impacts on residents as a result of these errors? Did these errors result in additional costs to the...

  13. Agency during grad school

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to wayemika's topic in Agency Nurses

    I think the only factor here is how fast you need the cash. Agency pays daily, twice a week, or weekly. The cancellation policy has always been about the same. A PRN person is treated basically...

  14. Travel nursing??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to matcha-cat's topic in Travel

    At my most recent hospital job, our float pool had several tiers. The lowest paying tier was at a rate of $30/hr and had a shift requirement of one per 6-month cycle. I didn't think anyone would want...

  15. Need advice on PostOP B/P

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to JKSDRN's topic in General Nursing

    If there is no active bleeding, we didn't transfuse unless the hgb was 7 or below. Our facility initiated this protocol during a time when blood donations were at a record low nationwide. We never...

  16. Questions to ask a nurse you are shadowing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jmckinnon's topic in General Nursing

    I smell a set-up. You, a new grad, didn't get the job because you didn't ask enough questions?? You probably won't get the next one because they deemed you to be clueless by asking too many questions....

  17. can i still be a nurse if i pass out from shots?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Matt4j30's topic in General Students

    The last time I received an injection, other than a regular PPD, my ex-husband held me in a headlock while the doctor (not the nurse) gave me the injection. I had been nursing 16 years at that time....

  18. 15 min per patient!?!?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Nursing

    Think about the time it takes to prepare the medication and quickly assess the patient prior to medication administration. By the time you complete this initial process, return to disconnect the...

  19. PRN Position

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Analgesic's topic in General Students

    As a PRN worker in most places, you can sign up for as many shifts as you'd like. Simply schedule yourself fulltime (if that's what you need) around your class time. Just don't sign up if you know you...

  20. Failed Nclex for second time

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

    This is where you probably went wrong. This is just my opinion, but it makes no sense to review that many questions. If you understand the rationale behind a few different areas, I mean TRULY...

  21. Scary Nurses

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    Who knows? Maybe he's training his replacement and doesn't even know it...yet. Ohhhh, the element of

  22. Abandonment?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to audsanders's topic in General Nursing

    It's not, but it depends on your state's definition of abandonment. They may not like it and you may lose your job for leaving. But it is not abandonment. Of course, desertion is a different take. Any...

  23. 2 years out of Nursing School. Failed 3 times Help!

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

    Tell me how exactly a stay-at-home mom with no RN license, no job, and no career is placing patients and "fellow staff members" (which don't exist) at

  24. What program should I take?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Jaida's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your time to enter into nursing after graduation depends on who's hiring in the area you plan to live in. If you'll be living in a BSN-only/BSN-preferred area, then go for the BSN. If it makes no...

  25. Hand off

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to b747girl5's topic in General Nursing

    Just wait until you get that oncoming nurse who tries to tell you during report how your patients did during the night. Unfortunately, we have 'special' nurses in this field, and the newer you are...
