  1. Does LTC experience typically count as Med-Surg when applying for Med-Surg?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Chadmasters's topic in General Nursing

    Glad I could be of

  2. New grad RN, See problems how to make changes. HELP

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Valcorie34's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh, and licking something off the floor??? Our moms taught us better than that before we could even 'say' nurse. I don't even think forensic scientists do taste tests. ;-) If it's on the floor and...

  3. New grad RN, See problems how to make changes. HELP

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Valcorie34's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'd just like to add that, until you have some years of experience under belt and even after, you can expect to see that (or a similar) checklist each time you change jobs. You may be confident in...

  4. Does LTC experience typically count as Med-Surg when applying for Med-Surg?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Chadmasters's topic in General Nursing

    Your LTC experience will count towards 'nursing' experience when applying for a med/surg position. Until you work in any other area besides LTC, all you will have is LTC experience. Med/surg is a...

  5. Moving down in the world

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

    Do you love Kaiser that much? As soon as they can find a way around employing ANY licensed personnel, you'll be looking for a MA position with them. Personally, I think you are inadvertently training...

  6. Did you read all of the assigned readings in nursing school ?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    During my RN pursuit, I read so much literature that I ended up in LensCrafters...no joke, been going to them yearly ever since. For my BSN pursuit, I read some things that were assigned. But for the...

  7. Is a C in a course a problem for higher education

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jesstucc's topic in General Students

    Depending on the program, not only will the C lower your GPA, but some schools will not accept anything lower than a B in transfer, which will mean repeating the course. I know when I was pursuing my...

  8. Excelsior

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Devon77's topic in Excelsior College

    The only thing I had not done that RNs do, with regards to Excelsior's program, were care plans. Those LPNs that I personally know who completed the program, all had the same mindset as I had: I'm...

  9. Excelsior CPNE workshop vs. Sherri Taylor

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to scmitchell_04's topic in Excelsior College

    I passed on my first attempt as well. Graduated in 2010 with the

  11. Associate in math&science and B.S. in Health science. working as lpn while in school (RN)?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to zerolimit1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What is the length of the LPN program that you're considering? Going to LPN school is not going to get you money 'now'. If you need money 'now' and can't find work using your current credentials, I'd...

  12. CPNE passed at Albany Medical Center-My Journey

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to PFCDowning's topic in Excelsior College

    CONGRATZ TO

  13. No Overtime

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

    When you clock out, have your keys in your hands and may way to the front door...don't even think about looking back! If this is the new policy and EVERYBODY follows it, employers will soon mandate...

  14. Boards anxiety help!!

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

    There are refresher courses out there. You can contact your nursing school or BON for the best available information. But, what I would do in your shoes, since there has been significant time gone by...

  15. Fastest way to get out of state license

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

    The application process varies by state. The school has to send in transcripts, criminal background checks have to be done, hopefully your clinical hours are sufficient for the CT BON, etc.. I had to...

  16. Come On People, How Stupid Are You??

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

    If this is a consistent issue with this particular medication/patient/resident, I would have to wonder what the notes say. Is the resident refusing this med for any reason? Is his or her family...

  17. Job interview clinical coordinator

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

    As a new grad with ZERO experience, I would not accept that position if I were you (but I'm not in your shoes). You would probably be responsible for staff scheduling, patients' doctors appointments,...

  18. Nursing not for me

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to lovingme01's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh wow! Patients waiting at the cart is the gift horse, and you're looking it in the mouth. Those patients/residents that come to you and stand there and wait---thank them for coming to you and give...

  19. Discharge patient with Foley, but forgot to give the syringes to remove foley

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Bamafan2011's topic in General Nursing

    I think the urologists will determine whether or not the patient will need to be followed by home health nursing visits if it is decided that the foley remain in place longer than anticipated.On a...

  20. Starting nursing school at 37...

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

    I graduated from nursing school for the first time at age 20. The second time, I was age 45 when I graduated. And the most recent graduating age was just 2 months shy of my 50th birthday. Your age,...

  21. When did you know?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Nursing

    I knew 2 1/2 months ago when I left the bedside for good...31 years after the fact. The only thing that would be close to pulling me back into it is a job with the VA....or extreme dire

  22. Scheduling harassment

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    If the sound of the constant ringing phone bothers you, if I were you, I would simply block that number at the end of my last work shift and unblock it the night or morning before I'm set to return to...

  23. Wife is taking NCLEX RN exam for 4th time...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseHusband02's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, you should give up...YOUR HUSBAND! Once you get rid of that loser, you become a winner, and your life will calm down so that you can focus on what matters: yourself, your daughter, your career....

  24. Second guessing my self

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseMari2018's topic in LPN to RN

    Congratulations on the pass! Focus on one hurdle at a time until it's done. If you should stumble, get up, regroup, and try it again...until it's done. Good luck to you!! Keep those nerves in

  25. Second guessing my self

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseMari2018's topic in LPN to RN

    First of all, you need to pull yourself together. It's only nursing school, though seemingly hard and difficult at times. You know more now than you did the last time you were accepted, true? What if...
