  2. I'm Not Going To Be A Nurse!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. That’s how the story began. He said that’s what he would pay for and if I wanted to do anything afterwards, I’d have to pay for it myself. Well, before I had a chance to change paths, here...

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

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Patient: “Imma do me regardless”. Me: “You doing you is the reason why you’re seeing me. I just want to thank you and others like you for my new car, new shoes, new purse, new house. Keep...

  4. Student Representation

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  9. Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    I’d definitely tuck that away for safekeeping. The last sign-on bonus I got was handed back to the the facility IN FULL when I saw what they were truly all about. NEVER give an employer the rope...

  11. I'm Not Going To Be A Nurse!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    My dad told me he was paying for me to go to LPN school. End of story. Back in the day, kids did what their parents told them to do. I didn’t know I could have said “NO!” and there’d...

  12. Inexperienced nurse. What areas of nursing should I look into?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

  13. Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    They gotcha!? They figured your interpretation would be as it was. That entire paragraph, as it is written, is an optional suggestion: FEEL FREE...should you be ASKED. They gave you choices. I’ll...

  15. Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I would not have admitted to having scrubs available. Just my $.02, but I’m thinking you’ve just opened the door for them to abuse your capabilities. I believe you’ve gotten the job,...

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

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to RN87's topic in General Nursing

  19. I called in sick today, they didn't accept it.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I once worked with a nurse who was out on sick leave/disability claim. The powers-that-be denied her claim and when the sick leave was exhausted, she felt she had no choice but to return to work. A...

  22. The Failure of Modern Healthcare due to Administration

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to FlameHeart's topic in General Nursing

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to srd_1999's topic in General Nursing

    My last ‘significant’ FT position was as an LPN shift supervisor in a state-funded subacute detox unit (1988-95). I left that to pursue agency nursing. That one decision ultimately led to my...

  25. Does Nursing Cause Weight Gain?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing
