  1. Wanting to change my program, would love some advice

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Crimenpu's topic in General Students

    There may be a reason multiple programs gave you the same advice. I will assume you didn’t have a 4.0 GPA, and the suggestion to take more prerequisites was to put you in a more competitive race...

  2. Would love some input.. take LVN boards or??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to abbyc's topic in General Students

    What are your academic strengths? ASN programs are very competitive and you will be going up against straight-A students. Plus you’ll most likely need to repeat your science courses either way. If...

  3. "Its a Scam"

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    Good luck on your first shift and savor the honeymoon! My first night as an RN was one I’ll never forget: here is your assignment and your patients are that way. Come to think of it, every shift...

  4. Hurst scores not where I want them to be.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Espi4755's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    At least it’s behind you now. Try to relax (IKR?) until you get the quick results or BON

  5. New Nurse at 53

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Guest26407's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes there is. You just have to search. I think the lack of experience will impact your search more than your age. Did you graduate and receive your RN before the program was designated as...

  6. Hurst scores not where I want them to be.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Espi4755's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How did it

  7. Nursing School and Working?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emilynuhwin's topic in General Students

    For my ASN, I was signing up for fulltime hours, but from the looks of the actual hours given to me, you’d think I was laid off (that’s what actually sent me back into school in the first place)....

  8. I don’t want to work extra!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    ???! I know EXACTLY what you

  9. New nurse, just told to find another unit

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

    Find another unit??? As a member of the resource pool, you don’t just find another unit. The expectation is you go where the powers-that-be assign you to go...within your skill set. I think you need...

  10. How Has Covid Affected Nursing?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As a former travel nurse, I was already on my way out of acute care when COVID hit...had one foot out the door. But the straw the broke the camel’s back was when I was assigned one of the ONLY-TWO...

  11. I Need Help To Improve Writing Skill On Nursing Notes

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to yx5001's topic in General Students

    It’s another version of charting similar to SBAR. Some places utilize an ‘F’ before the DAR. (F): Focus - Hypertension, BP follow-up, etc.. (D): Description - brief statement of...

  12. TRAGEDY at Clinical!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to fatima abdulla's topic in General Students

    Let the process take its course. I will say that an incident like this will prompt a review of overall individual performance in the program thus far when deciding on a course of action. A review of...

  13. Thinking of withdrawing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to dreamer0x's topic in General Students

    Many, many, many, MANY years ago, our LPN instructor would ask us to share what new things we learned in clinicals. When we did, she would purposely belittled us for not already knowing the stuff. We...

  14. What to expect as a Primary Care RN?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to KatRN2's topic in General Nursing

    With the exception of IV fluids, I second what the previous poster said. I left bedside nursing a little more than 18 months ago after 20+++ years in Acute care and couldn’t be happier....well, I...

  15. Making a decision

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

    You’re most welcome! Good luck and let us know how you

  16. Making a decision

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

    In that case, I would take the test again, if I were you. If you pass, you can look for RN bridge programs that will accept your science courses. If you fail the NCLEX a second time, I would start the...

  17. Making a decision

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

    @Sheri JeffreyCheck with the board of nursing to see if you’re even eligible to test after seven years. You may be required to complete an approved remediation

  18. Expired to applying RN license after passing NCLEX

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

    I would call again and have them to review your information and request their suggestion...just to confirm the information you received from the first call. There’s nothing wrong with gaining...

  19. What should I know before Nursing School?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to FutureNurseSL90's topic in General Students

    Nothing here. I learn as I go and if I forget something, I review as the need arises. There is too much to know and it is constantly evolving. So don’t let it consume you. Otherwise, this profession...

  20. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Sooooo.....flan is hospital jello????? (trying some hard not to laugh at

  21. GA Board of nursing preceptorship hours

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NAZZI1347's topic in Excelsior College

    I’m sorry to hear this. If you’re an LPN, have you tried applying for positions in a hospital? Some teaching hospitals still employ LPNs. Once you get your foot in the door, it might be easier to...

  22. If you didn't have to bite your tongue?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    For quite a few of these folks, the dots fail to

  23. GA Board of nursing preceptorship hours

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NAZZI1347's topic in Excelsior College

    A colleague of mine is talking with someone at Atrium Navicent Health (formerly known as the Medical Center of Central Georgia) in Macon. Another online EC friend of mine completed her hours there in...

  24. Unfair Grading

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    Yes! Thank

  25. What are somethings to keep in mind during job shadows?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    When I shadowed, I used that time for nothing but note-taking and creating cheat sheets (pertinent phone extensions, codes to doors, where to find whatever, etc). If I’m given the resources that I...
