  1. SBAR Report-Nursing as a 2nd career worth it?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to greenjellico's topic in General Nursing

    Are you eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN? If so, do so. Continue with your classes as you hunt for an LPN position. I've heard that a lot of LTC facilities are 12-hour shifts just like hospitals. So...

  2. Unsupported at home.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NewbieNurse91's topic in General Nursing

    Neither of my husbands (term used loosely) stuck around for the career. They bailed at each degree-seeking pursuit. Ask me if I care. More rewards left for

  3. New Nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to coconut3431's topic in General Nursing

    Right here, and moving forward until you retire, is where you double up on your documentation. If you have already, then you triple your documentation to cover yourself. As soon as you see anything...

  4. Got my date!!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    Following......such an exciting weekend! Got me reliving my own from 7 years ago! I actually tested on Valentine's Day weekend

  5. I didn't become a nurse to feed people's addictions. Do *nurses* have the right to refuse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Thankgodforativan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand exactly where the OP is coming from. As a float nurse, if there is a patient like this on the unit, he or she will be assigned to the float/agency/newbie. As many of you have stated, we...

  6. Failed NCLEX 11 times.

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

    Born right??!!!?!?! Liability??!!?!?! My PRN job is as a bedside nurse on Med/Surg and reluctantly, the ER. There is no greater liability at the bedside than there is anywhere else in nursing. That's...

  7. WGU - BSN online, legit?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Amiiiracle's topic in Western Governors University

    What is your background? Not all online ASN programs accept students with no clinical background. I was an LPN prior to pursuing an online ASN program...it was

  8. LTC transition to hospital

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to TXRN roxie's topic in General Nursing

    What do you mean by "rehab/ltc hospital"? Is it an acute care hospital that has a rehab/LTC unit? The reason I ask is because you definitely do not want to make the mistake of accepting a job at a...

  9. Does it matter where you get your associates?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The college for your ASN/ADN needs to be accredited. Check with your state's BON for a listing of approved programs. As for transfer, any college or university can toss your application for many...

  11. WGU - BSN online, legit?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Amiiiracle's topic in Western Governors University

    TheCommuter, one of the moderators on this forum, received the BSN from them. I believe meanmaryjean received her BSN and MSN from them. I wanted to go there for my BSN, but they wouldn't accept my...

  12. Scared to death over PPD

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to maddyfan4's topic in General Nursing

    Be sure to have your household tested, and have the agency (they should be proactive in this anyway) suggest testing on any other patients/family you may have come in contact with. As for the source,...

  13. Calling off on two week notice?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Kalypso22's topic in General Nursing

    The benefit was going to take place whether you accepted the position or not...it was already planned months ago, I'm sure. In my experience PTO and annual leave is time that has been earned by the...

  14. Clinical failure for something I couldn't help?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to teachable's topic in General Students

    I've always been curious as to the frequent use of this statement by students. As a student, how would you know what is appropriate action from the credentialed instructor who, by the way, holds the...

  15. Hospital RN Looking for a Change!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to RN_srs's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered contacting your facility's education department since you're working towards an MSN in education? They may have an option or suggestion for

  16. question regarding non-skid socks

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to annedurias's topic in General Nursing

    Double-sided is what we issue, as well. The problem is convincing the patients to wear them. Only those patients who are a low fall risk seem to be willing to comply. Naturally, our non compliant...

  17. Got my date!!!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to emtpbill's topic in Excelsior College

    Remember to keep those care plans simple! ID! ID! ID those patients!!! Good

  18. NCLEX RN 14 times

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

    I can understand life's issues causing a delay in reaching goals. But nine pages in, plus other posts elsewhere on this forum and you now want to drag a deceased relative into the mix? Really? Any and...

  19. Clinical failure for something I couldn't help?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to teachable's topic in General Students

    The only thing you can do is wait until next spring. You could try another school but I don't think it would help with an F on your transcript. You could also request a meeting with the Dean, but I...

  20. New Grad Struggling

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hrahrmh's topic in General Nursing

    I just reread your post. If you don't like giving medications, learning skills, charting, or interacting with patients, you are definitely in the wrong field. Skipping to chase, leave now before you...

  21. New Grad Struggling

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to hrahrmh's topic in General Nursing

    What you're describing seems to still be ongoing issues from your past, which is aggravated (or complicated) by the demands of trying to adjust to a new career. Personally, I don't think you're...

  22. Took nclex today computer shut off at 205 question

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Adah30's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It could go either way at this point. However, in reading the posts on this forum, the vast majority who were charged did indeed fail. Good luck and keep an eye out for what's to come from your board...

  23. The Perfect Work Day

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

    If I describe my perfect work day, which happened on Friday, it'll be a dead giveaway to my identity. I'll just say that I was paid for a full 12-HR shift at a rate >$50/HR for welcoming only TWO...

  24. The Lamentations of a Distressed RN (New Grad)

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to deebee20's topic in General Nursing

    These benefits mirror those of travel agencies offering travel assignments. Are you certain the advertisements are from individual facilities and not facilities mentioned in an agency's recruitment...

  25. I can't get "poop" taste out of my mouth?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    Keep a stick of gum or a piece of peppermint in your mouth and keep it moving because, Suga, you ain't seen nothin'
