  1. I am not proud of my track record.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to STARL's topic in General Nursing

    If your LPN license is revoked, more than likely, you will not be issued an RN license. If you are placed on probation, you might see an extended delay in receiving your RN license....if you're even...

  2. You're fired

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to dburkhart's topic in General Nursing

    What area of nursing have you been employed in as an RN? Did you have these same issues when you were an LPN? The reason I ask is that it is possible that even though you're an RN, you might be still...

  3. Was told to consider not being a nurse?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rainbow09's topic in General Students

    First off, I will not make light of the situation. Once you pricked yourself, the insulin syringe should have been discarded....end of story. Then you should have washed your hands, put a bandaid on...

  4. ER Nurse Advice Needed

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to TheDreamIsRN's topic in Emergency

    Rule #1. Don't believe all that you hear. While there are EMTs employed as ER techs at my hospital, not all of them are. You simply apply for the position. If hired, you will be put through an...

  5. Help, Struggling

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to neverbeensolost89's topic in General Nursing

    At this point, try another healthcare system (preferably a teaching hospital) or the VA. Continue being honest and upfront about what happened....or perhaps not even listing them as a...

  6. LPN - I really think I hate being a nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to beejay0829's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Awwwwww....thank you! That is just

  7. Question about an interview

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Caroline123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    D***!

  8. Psych nursing vs BSN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to marijad92's topic in General Nursing

    If the psych nurse position that you're interested in calls for a BSN degree, that's coming from the hiring facility. I have a BSN. If I wanted to do psych nursing, I could. Do I have experience in...

  9. Psych nursing vs BSN

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to marijad92's topic in General Nursing

    BSN is a degree which does not specialize as the MSN does. Psych nurse versus BSN: one has nothing to do with the

  10. Travel Nurses and Relationship

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Travel1414's topic in Travel

    Traveling within the state when I did have a husband was no problem. I'd have my shifts scheduled together, do the three-sometimes (not very often) four in a row, and come home. He always had the...

  11. Do it all over again? Aaaaaaa

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a float nurse and the pay and flexibility are awesome! It paid my son's way through college. But I still wouldn't choose nursing twice in the same lifetime. Come to think of it, I didn't choose it...

  12. being floated

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to whitewave's topic in General Nursing

    I became a float nurse so that I wouldn't have to deal with any one floor's politics, and because I got tired of being the one pulled to another floor when I was just about to get comfortable with one...

  13. Regret becoming a nurse....

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    Until you figure out what you want to do, hang in there another six months or so and then, try to go PRN. No benefit there, but the pay and flexibility (freedom to set your own hours) gets you away...

  14. Do it all over again? Aaaaaaa

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know which road I'd travel. But it would definitely not :smokin:be nursing. End of

  15. I don't feel smart enough for nursing school??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to mzsuccess's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Review the questions that caused you to fall short of 80. What about those questions caused you to select an incorrect answer? Compare the differences in your answers and the correct answers. Keeping...

  17. Terms in NCLEX-RN

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

    1.FOLLOW UP: to check for effectiveness. "Did the medication relieve your pain?" If a person was given a blood pressure medicine, you would go back and recheck the blood pressure (follow up) to see if...

  18. Punished for NP decision

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

    I think the daughter's concerns should have been reported to the NP as well so that the Zoloft could have been titrated a bit to amount that was beneficial to the patient without sedating her.....or...

  19. LPN - I really think I hate being a nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to beejay0829's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Tough it out to gain the experience required (1 or 2 years) to be able to join a nursing agency. Trust me when I tell you that the pay and flexibility as an agency LPN makes all the crap worthwhile....

  20. Need advice on working while in school

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to TheDudeWithTheBigDog's topic in General Students

    Schedule your hours to do an 8-hour shift on Friday evening and 12-hour or 16-hour shifts on Saturday and Sunday. Devote the weekdays and week evenings solely to school and homework/studying. Be sure...

  22. I failed my Nclex. Where do I go from here?

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

    I failed my first attempt at the NCLEX-PN (called State Boards back when) 30 years ago. Morning sickness had me too ill to study. But if you look at my credentials, you can see where I went from...

  25. I want to give up

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to dreamer0x's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I can't say whether it was a lot of any one particular area or not. It's been six years since I took the NCLEX-RN. What I do remember is that my one and only fill-in-the-blank was my one and only math...
