  1. Review by Georgia Board of Nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to sheri644's topic in Georgia Nursing

    You're asking a question to a member who apparently hasn't been on this board for 6 years (November 2011). You might want to consider posting your own thread to ask the question. Good luck with your...

  2. PLEASE HELP!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nurse'sDaughter's topic in Retired Nurses

    I'm sorry for your dilemma. If you're asking us what, outside of nursing, can your mom do, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong forum. If I personally had that answer, I'd be there myself....

  3. I want to quit during orientation?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Roesty10's topic in General Nursing

    Have a talk with management, thank them for the opportunity, and explain that you don't want to waste anymore of their time. Give the proper notice. It will either go one of three ways: they'll let...

  4. NO Common Sense 😞

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to anxiousnscared's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing 'common' about the equipment you'll encounter in the hospital setting, not even the blood pressure machine. If you don't know how to use it properly, there is the risk of abnormal...

  6. Help Your Peers! Submit a school review today!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Review done! My college experience was absolutely exceptional! Unfortunately, there are those students who were not prepared or motivated for online learning and as such, did not succeed in the...

  7. Passed NCLEX now what

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

    Don't worry about your colleagues co-signing or doing IV pushes for you. If you weren't there, they'd have to take the whole patient instead of small tasks, and they know it. You have no control over...

  8. Math question

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

    If you're comparing total dosage in milligrams, it is equivalent. If you're comparing I&O, it is not (based on the info you

  9. Would you recommend EC to new students?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Peterjoy93's topic in Excelsior College

    It's been seven years since my graduation from EC, and I can't count the number of times I've recommended this college to others. Given the current CPNE wait time, I'm saddened to say my...

  10. Albany State University Bridge Fall 2017

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Rednurse16's topic in LPN to RN

    WOW!!!! Extremely inconsiderate of those students who will need to secure lodging.

  11. Interview at VA Hospital

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tammy45's topic in General Nursing

  13. Terrified to start as a new RN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to enfermeratobe's topic in General Nursing

    There is always a bit of a challenge adjusting to a new environment. Combine that with a new role (LPN or RN), and of course you will feel as you do. But these are circumstances that will pass once...

  14. Touching Pills

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Captain_k's topic in General Nursing

    I got into the habit of wearing gloves during med administration a very long time ago, no matter what the medication was. The reason for this is because of patients dropping pills onto the bed,...

  15. ASN still worth it? (Magnet hosp)

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to vpace91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is generally a grace period from the date of employment, as a condition of continued employment within the company. There are many ASN-RNs who bridge in a year after receiving the ASN. So,...

  16. Just graduated with A.A.. Help!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Liz P valadez's topic in General Nursing

    There is a category on this website called Nurses in

  17. I just need some advice - or a hug. One or the other.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Doxie_loverRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh WOW!!! Med/Surg float is the way to do bedside nursing....unless yours is a fulltime position. When I did it, I never did my days back to back after I realized the kind of assignments I'd be...

  18. Excelsior Accredidation

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to xiahki's topic in General Nursing

    State Board Requirements - Excelsior College - excelsior.edu This is on Excelsior's website. Compare this to what is on the Kansas BON. Excelsior is accepted in Kansas; you'd just have to become...

  19. LPN to RN using Chancellors

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to trinitymayy's topic in Excelsior College

    And, of course, if you're a textbook, by-the-book sort of person, Excelsior College has its own

  20. F's from several years ago, I have a 3.8 now.

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

    When I was applying to my ASN program, I was asked to send in all transcripts in which I "wanted" to be evaluated for credit. Having had very similar experiences as the OP, I chose not to send in...

  21. LPN to RN using Chancellors

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to trinitymayy's topic in Excelsior College

    Have you decided on Excelsior College? In any case, study materials for courses can be purchased through Amazon, Ebay, studygroup101.com...all at a fraction of the cost imposed by publishing...

  22. RN to BSN online or on campus

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to 5228shamrock's topic in Western Governors University

    Had I not found an online college algebra course, I wouldn't be an RN today. The pop quizzes in the 1.25-hour classroom settings twice a week were just not enough for me to get a firm grip on the...

  23. Compact Licensure

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to nursealisha's topic in General Nursing

    OP, there may be good news for you over the horizon. My state, Georgia, has recently agreed to become a compact state in the next 18 months, or once the 25th or 26th state becomes a compact state...

  24. F's from several years ago, I have a 3.8 now.

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

    If you're having to retake the classes over anyway, why even bother mentioning those past institutions? The current institution will only evaluate transcripts that YOU will send to them. They cannot...

  25. Can an LPN work as a Surgical Tech?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to surge0584's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you nor your employer have no issues with this, yes you can. The problem is still the same, though. If something happens and you have a valid RN license, you will still be held accountable to the...
