  3. Husband Wants Elderly Dad to Move In

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Laurus Nobilis's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I had my mother here with me for three full months when she got kicked out of the nursing home. It took forever, it seemed, to find a suitable place for her. But I did find a very nice personal care...

  5. Where are all the "older" nurses?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to tjcnurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I still work adult Med-surg. I'm in my fifties, but my colleagues don't know that. I'm sure some of them suspect that I'm older once I start talking and my sentences don't begin with the word 'So'....

  6. Awg the hackers/ spam at it again

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to sallyrnrrt's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering what in the world was going

  7. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'll speak for myself here and may be actually speaking inadvertently for some others. When I hear the term 'bully', I have this image of a kid taking another kid's toy or lunch money. In the working...

  8. Do Home Health Care Agencies pay more if you stay over a client's home overnight?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Aekju46's topic in General Nursing

    I did home health vent patients and the rate of pay when hired was the rate of pay regardless...unless I went into overtime...no shift diff whatsoever. I guess it would depend on the agency. I worked...

  9. Advices needed for a new nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tnguyen's topic in General Nursing

    Many LTC CNAs have been thorns in the nurses' sides for a very long time. Management (you) and your management needs to have a meeting with them to discuss and review expectations and job...

  10. Hospitals vs LTC - Same dynamics?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Scottishtape's topic in General Nursing

    Most all hospitals are electronic, from medications to documentation. It's very hard if not impossible to cover up anything. The culture of the hospital will be a major factor in your happiness or...

  11. What makes one a "great nurse"?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to LadyAn's topic in General Nursing

    A great nurse is one who is perceived as such by others. You may think I'm a great nurse because I was able to accomplish the one thing that you struggled with, whereas another nurse may think I'm not...

  12. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I wrestled with responding to this thread for quite some time. In just the mere reading of the title, I was like "is this a trick question?", "this is a joke, right?", "she can't be serious!", and...

  13. Do you get sick often when you first start a job?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard of this happening to quite a few people. An explanation that I've also heard was that it's because you're being introduced to a whole new set of germs that your body was not otherwise...

  14. Do you get sick often when you first start a job?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Nursing

    Well

  15. I'm young and nervous about going into the nursing profession

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

    I hate to burst your bubble here. But, as a full-fledged RN, you ​will empty trash, wipe up urine, blood, feces, pass meal trays, feed patients, be spit on, s***on, hit on; bathe, dress, and...

    I know. Riches is in the pockets of the

  17. LPNS AND RNRags to Riches 2016 almost 2017 stories

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to soon2bnurse5's topic in General Nursing

    I'm still in the rags. Granted, my rags don't have quite as many holes as they once did, but they sometimes far exceed the hole-y limits of some of my colleagues. I simply snip the loose threads and...

  18. When your ex or their mistress/lover is the patient?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've always maintained employment at least an hour and a half away from the nearest local hospital to my home. If any of my exes show up as inpatients, it's nothing short of

  19. Where have all the ENB records gone

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jayne3232's topic in United Kingdom

    My practical nursing transcripts from 1984-85 disappeared into thin air. The school was a very small building connected to the ambulance shed out behind the hospital. They closed down a couple of...

  20. Auto Ins

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to millriders2's topic in General Nursing

    Probably for the same reason home health agencies require proof of valid insurance here in Georgia (or any place else). You will be on the clock while driving your personal vehicle and any accidents...

  21. I'm young and nervous about going into the nursing profession

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

    Mama needs a pair of scissors for that

  22. LPN's aren't real nurses

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to laurennnxo26's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree...but...that's not what you said. You initially said "call her out on it". A lot of people, at the moment of being offended, don't not respond rationally; they respond reactively if they do...

  23. Excelsior RN to NP?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to PixieMedic's topic in Excelsior College

    One of my 2010 EC classmates went on to obtain her NP...from where, I don't know. But she lives in

  24. LPN's aren't real nurses

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to laurennnxo26's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So this is what you would have done as a guest attending a seminar...embarrass the speaker by "calling her out"? This would not have been an appropriate time to engage in an RN versus LPN dispute. The...

  25. I really do feel depressed about the situation

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NurseEnvision's topic in General Nursing

    First, let me say that I'm really sorry you're going through this. It's a tough situation to be in and I do hope it gets better for you. Here is what I would do if I were you: 1: Go back to the LTC...
