  1. Is Anonymity Important to You?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!

  2. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    You’ll love it! Their finance department leaves much to be desired, though, for real!! I followed the advice of my first academic coach and ended up getting kicked out for non-participation. Never...

  3. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    I tried and tried but I couldn’t think of anything, and I said out loud, “coming up with a new name is not my problem”. So there you have

  4. Is Anonymity Important to You?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Been soul-searching for a few days now, trying to see why I don’t really care (???). Everything that I’ve said here, I’ve said it before I arrived here. For some reason, there are so many...

  5. Casual vs. parttime

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to srd_1999's topic in General Nursing

    Who was it that recommended you switch to part time? I worked with many-a-nurse who’d prefer they had more control over my professional life and would rather see me pushed out the door than have me...

  6. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    Grades are in; GPA in tact; finally done! MSN in the bag!! Gotta come up with a new name now!

  7. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    Requirements have finally been completed! Final grade for the capstone due in three days!! 4.0 GPA, so I’m not worried. So very happy to have this finally

  8. Were you a bully in high school?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Koalified's topic in General Nursing

    I was just...quiet. I was like that cartoon chihuahua that had the mouth of a pit bull, but only when provoked. I was and am the only female (mom excluded) in a family of military veterans...had and...

  9. The Things That Come Out Of Your Mouth...

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

    I went in to greet my patient at the beginning of the shift. Before I could say hello, she fired off at me, asking “why is my d*** leg hurting”? My reflexive response was “how in the h*** should...

  10. Fear of Floating | Life of a Nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to JeanstarMSN's topic in General Nursing

    The way I adapted to floating was to take the ‘if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em..’ approach. I became a float nurse. I got so sick of being pulled every single time someone called out. This...

  11. Nurses have to know so much - partly play the role of doctor and pharmacist!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nunurse0821's topic in General Students

    Here’s my 2 cents worth: we’re not responsible for knowing if the doctors or pharmacists have made mistakes. They are responsible for their own due diligence to safeguard their license and protect...

  12. Do you ever feel guilty on your days off (not sick days)?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Ele_phant's topic in General Nursing

    I remember feeling guilty once for about 10 minutes after taking a day when I wasn’t physically ill. That was the fastest 10 minutes of my career. Thank goodness I got over

  13. First Big Error - Advice Needed

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NewRNontheBlock21's topic in General Nursing

    What if you had remembered to check the sugar and the patient still became hypoglycemic? There is a reason diabetic patients have hypoglycemic protocols onboard: stable one minute, tanking the next....

  14. Ageism in Nursing?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Guest1176712's topic in General Nursing

    I was 55 when I slammed the door on Acute care last year. The younger cohort was apparently cohesive outside of the working environment, apparently, as evidenced by never-ending conversations about...

  15. Anyone taken a pay cut for sanity?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Before leaving Acute care altogether, I’d adjust and readjust my schedule every way that I could...even tried working one day a week. One one adjustment, I’d work the first week to pay all...

  16. Quit Job and Now Accused of Abandonment

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    I was threatened with abandonment in 2005. I’d reported an issue (nothing was done about it). I kept walking into the same crap. Finally, I was fed up and told them that the next time they tried to...

  17. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    The courses took me five months to complete. I’ve been waiting 8 months to begin the capstone, which will start for me (practicum hours) tomorrow morning. My mistake, which contributed to the delay,...

  18. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    Capella actually did offer a virtual option temporarily to assist its students during the pandemic. Unfortunately, I missed out on it by trusting my employer’s sister facility when they said I could...

  19. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    After months and months of waiting for a sister facility to submit the paperwork, I flew across country to begin the last lap 2 1/2 weeks of the practicum at a large private-sector healthcare...

  21. For anyone considering Capella for an MSN...

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

    I am still waiting for the preceptorship to start. In another month, I will have waited as long to start the practicum as it took to work the program. I am not happy about that at all. The first...

  22. GEORGIA preceptorship for RN Excelsior graduate

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to 130's topic in Excelsior College

    I would suggest contacting Atrium Navicent Health (formerly Medical Center of Central Georgia) in Macon, Georgia, and ask to speak to someone in their education department. They precept nursing...

  23. Coping with the Death of a Fellow Nurse

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    I’m very sorry to hear of your coworker’s situation. Before I began typing, I skimmed over the past 35 years to see who may have held such a position in my heart, and could only think of one...

  24. Capella University vs Western Governors University (WGU) - What is Your Experience?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to rn2bbsn's topic in School, College Programs

    This is good information to those who are interested in such things. I never have been. I prefer the behind-the-scenes, unsung-hero scenario myself. My trophies are
