  6. Excelsior

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to simplysw33t's topic in Excelsior College

  8. Excelsior books

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to luvmahal's topic in Excelsior College

    You can also write down the ISBN number and enter those on amazon.com, eBay.com, and others. I purchased 2 or 3 books for my BSN from former students who used these sites to sell their textbooks when...

  9. I am thinking about changing careers

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to MissouriRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Clear this up BEFORE you throw in the towel. Your attitude should reflect that this is YOUR license and you're not giving them up without a fight. If your account of things is true, the board should...

  10. Really hard choice

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nurseannieb's topic in General Nursing

    I would call UVA and explain the situation, and gratefully decline the position if I were you. Every moment away from your family when they need you the most is a moment that you won't get back....

  11. Math requirement for RNs?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    I just started my new job. I signed all of my documents and to my surprise, I was instructed to go back and PRINT my name above my signature. Mind you, these documents called for my signature. I guess...

  12. Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient transferred from the ER into the holding unit with a diagnosis of body odor and malodorous decubitus ulcer. Yes it smelled awful! It could be smelled all out in the hallway. Prior to...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to forgiven640's topic in Excelsior College

    When you are CPNE-eligible, you will receive a study guide from EC that explains the areas of care (AOC) and how to perform each one. And yes, there are workshops available (highly recommended)....

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

    You completely missed my point. I didn't realize you were here looking for sympathy or any 'there-theres'. So, on that note, good luck toy

  17. Another new grad, feeling lost

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to healthnut23's topic in General Nursing

    Not a whole lot we can do about your feelings of being lost. It's typical new-nurse syndrome. We've ALL had to go through that. The only cure for it is experience. Even then, once you change jobs,...

  18. I hate that everyone knows I speak Spanish !

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to LilimoonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Had I been bilingual, I would have used those talents to become one of the admissions/discharge nurses, and left the bedside duties to those who'd no longer have a choice but to use the translator...

  19. Where do I NCLEX-Re-Begin...

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

    I think (personally) a lot of graduates place too much stock on this exam. That increases the stress level. I know plans are being made based on nclex success. But what if you don't pass? Life goes...

    I have the BSN. It doesn't mean that I agree with the push for BSN degrees, nor does it mean that I'm opposed to it. In fact, I did quite well in my program. But at the time that I chose to pursue the...

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

    Yes I am! This actually happened. It was my personal feelings that day. Just as it was his feelings of "who gives a **** about

  22. SATA questions :/

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tristan_858's topic in Excelsior College

    What I did to tackle these types of questions was to eliminate those that I new without a doubt did NOT apply. For the remaining questions, I would really think about everything that goes on with the...

  23. HELP!?! New in a SICU... already cried... totally terrified

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jlv613's topic in Critical Care

    May I ask why you accepted this position if you had no desire to work in a hospital? "The job just fell in my lap" how? Was it required of you or did it come with an attractive benefit package?...

  24. RN shortage

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! Where's the proof? I earned my ASN and BSN degrees online (2010 and 2014 respectively). I've helped to save quite a few a few lives, some very recently in areas that I was not trained to work in....
