  1. What is a good state for the Rn nclex

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

    What are you going to do if Florida denies your endorsement? Are you prepared to fly or move to New York to get a job? To endorse in Georgia, one of your border states, you have to show over 1000,...

  2. What is a good state for the Rn nclex

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

    Lemons, Pickles, you say to'ma'to... But it did have me scrolling back up to see how I missed Sour Lemon's post.:) Some pickles can be sour...right??

  3. Tryin something new

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to decarla1's topic in General Nursing

    Is this an NCLEX prep post? Maybe try posting this somewhere under the nursing student forum in order to reach your intended

  4. Side Job for recent grad

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to clarkb33's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest another unit at your current facility since you're already employed there. The 'issue' with this is that once you start floating, they will forever be pulling you. The bright side is...

  5. State audited med pass, nursing home LPN.

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

    Your med cart should be right at the door. That way, once you make it back to the resident's door, you're only less than an arm's length from the sharp's container. State surveyors are not that...

  6. State audited med pass, nursing home LPN.

  7. Finally Leaving Nursing...For Good!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I went on my interview exactly one week ago today. If all goes well, I am right behind you, and I only work one day per week. Hold the

  8. Failed fcca

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cjwilliams's topic in Excelsior College

    I will only comment on your last paragraph to say that I only had the time because of my hours being cut severely. As for family, I had to wait until my kids were grown because I couldn't afford it...

  9. When is it time to leave...?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Phew!!! For a minute there, I thought you were talking about me. But then I said to myself, wait a minute!! I knew years ago that I couldn't deal with the bedside BS like I did 20 years ago, nor do I...

  10. All experienced nurses need some advice.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Kjohns16's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As a nurse investigator in my state, your facility would face heavy fines and the board of nursing would definitely have something to say about your nursing practice. If someone gets hurt or worse,...

  11. Being Managed By Someone Younger

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Apple-Core's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I encounter young managers all the time. They choose to work fulltime; I do not. So naturally, one of the regulars on the floor will be in charge as opposed to a PRN person. I've served my time with...

  12. Might get kicked out of program...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to qteebug's topic in General Students

    The very last thing you want to do is start insinuating guilt in your instructor. If you get into the habit of pointing fingers here or anywhere else, you will surely make that a habit and it will...

  13. Are nurses actually people too???

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to FuturePN's topic in General Students

    Well damn! Why am I just getting this memo? Did the rest of you know about

  14. I just want to be a stay at home mom!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Lavendergal's topic in General Students

    I agree that without details, we should not rush to judgment of the husband. We know how kids can sometimes become resentful and manipulative and play one parent against the other, especially after a...

  15. LPN to RN advice

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Carrie1126's topic in Excelsior College

    Try this on for size. Exams – CLEP – The College Board The above link will tell you which colleges accept CLEP exams. The exams themselves are under $100, testing center usually charges $15-30 to...

  16. Failed fcca

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cjwilliams's topic in Excelsior College

    But, you have never been a nurse. I've been nursing for years. But there is no way that I'd ever believe that I can cross over into being a paramedic without any difficulty because of my nursing...

  17. Failed fcca

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cjwilliams's topic in Excelsior College

    It's an outrage because you failed. Had you passed, you'd feel differently. You regret your affiliation with the college, yet you failed to withdraw before, during, or after the "2015 class-action...

  18. Got my date!!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    If what he said is what happened, then he reported the MAR error to the CE, and then to the CA. Had they corrected the MAR or obtained clarification from the staff nurses regarding the duplication,...

  19. Failed Cpne & will not retake it

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Shewanda's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes you do know what to do, which is the OPPOSITE of what failed you. It is the little things that gets us at the CPNE because it's the little things that we're being tested on. The 'big stuff' is...

  20. Got my date!!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    Aww man! So sorry to hear this. Good luck with the appeal,

  21. Per Diem Nursing. What's the 411?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Andrea727's topic in General Nursing

    I am with the hospital's float pool. (Sour Lemon might as well be, too). Being assigned to a specific floor means nothing. If the warm body holds a valid license, then off you go to the area in need....

  22. When do give up?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to LJR89's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What about the facility that employed you as a CNA? They have no RN positions? You can forget about being employed as a CNA as long as you hold a valid nursing license because you'd still be held to...

  23. Failed Cpne & will not retake it

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Shewanda's topic in Excelsior College

    What area of care did you fail? Did you take a workshop? Why won't you retake the exam? Is it safe to assume that you've given up on becoming an RN? If not, then is it safe to assume that you'd rather...

  24. Nclex

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

    How do you know that you'd gotten down to the best two answers, and hadn't already eliminated the correct answer? This is not a question for you to answer here, necessarily; rather one that you should...

  25. New RN Florida Hospital clinical quetion

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Jillayy's topic in General Nursing

    I've never interviewed with Florida Hospital. But I have been asked in interviews: How would I handle conflict with a coworker; how would I proceed if I encountered patient or family member who was...
