  1. **HELP!! ICU RN Working PRN in LTC??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Spoiled1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Be sure to find out what residents need to have their meds crushed and require thickened liquids, which residents require more time during a med pass because of whatever issues (or are simply...

  2. Have been told LPN BAD idea

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

    My experience was similar to LaDeeBug28. I made enough money during my LPN years to pay my oldest son's college tuition out-of-pocket. I did this by working as an agency nurse who was accepting...

  3. Homeless patient with pneumonia

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to tori-alba's topic in General Nursing

    Case management should have been consulted/following soon after admission. Aside from collaborating with the treatment team, you've done all you can do. One problem with some of the homeless is the...

  4. Popularity of the nursing program

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

    I generally don't remember things about members and what they've said. But this week has been different. After having had the last two of her threads closed, she's back again with some form of...

  5. Popularity of the nursing program

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

    Honestly, I don't think you would do well in nursing school or even as a nurse because of your love-hate relationship with the mere thought of nursing. In reading your other posts dating back to...

  6. Does anyone work PRN?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    This was exactly my experience, except they knew what they were doing. They didn't forget; didn't care. We must work at the same

  7. Community health clinical objectives

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to World_Traveler's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Example: Perhaps you would be able to identify just how much evidence-based education and effort is required by the nurse, (i.e., the level of difficulty), before an average resident of the community...

  8. Community health clinical objectives

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to World_Traveler's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think any of these will work. Have you had to develop care plans? These folks donating blood will need a plan of care as well. What would you expect YOUR experience to be like, should you find...

  9. Community health clinical objectives

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to World_Traveler's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Very interesting! A clinical at a blood drive! We never did anything past blood pressure checks when I did community clinicals. How many people do they generally try to accept as donors on any given...

  10. I used to not like nurses but I am so grateful for all of you

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

    Schooling? Yes, I can clearly see how the lack of educationcontributes to one being mis- or uninformed. But no, no amount of academic education can teach anyone to be compassionate or caring. Either...

  11. Are there *any* online BSN programs that accept core BSN credits from other schools?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to vishnu10003's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm afraid you might actually be done with your degree before you find a transferable program. But who

  12. Associate Degree better to start with for a Non-Nurse?

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

    Having no healthcare background has no bearing on whether or not you should go for the BSN. There are thousands of student nurses who enter college in pursuit of the BSN degree. Since you already hold...

  13. New Nurse Exhausted from Extremely Long Shifts? Help?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to KellySpencer800's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It makes me so **** angry to see veteran nurses taking advantage of newer ones, especially when they should be teaching them that employers will never hire enough additional staff as long as the few...

  14. New Nurse Exhausted from Extremely Long Shifts? Help?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to KellySpencer800's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  15. New Nurse Exhausted from Extremely Long Shifts? Help?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to KellySpencer800's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    HELLO!!!!!!!!!!

  16. New Home Care Nurse-Is This For Me?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to New_NurseD's topic in General Nursing

    As for the doctor's orders, you can always go by the office to pick up the orders directly. Explain to the office staff who you are and on whose behalf. (It would be great to call ahead a day prior...

  17. Want to be a nursing student, but too dumb at maths!!

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

    I was 46 when I finally passed College Algebra. I had to take a remedial course that was one level beneath the actual college level course. But I managed to pass the actual course by getting up at...

  18. Which path should I take?

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

    The job market is difficult for new grads with and without the BSN, more so without. But it is possible to find employment with an ASN depending on your location. If you chose the ASN route, with a...

  19. Agency Nurses Have No Rights?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to AGaston's topic in General Nursing

    OP, your scenario is most likely the reason why the facility is in need of agency nurses in the first place. When I encountered places like that throughout my many years as an agency nurse, I made...

  20. Are there *any* online BSN programs that accept core BSN credits from other schools?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to vishnu10003's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When you say BSN core credits, are you referring to the prerequisite credits or the actual BSN nursing courses? My BSN program's core credits were mostly transferable in and out. However, the BSN...

  21. When to register

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

    Your instructors should be able to provide this information to you, as they are the ones who would be submitting your transcripts to the BON. However, you can also contact the BON yourself to inquire...

  22. Annual License renewal

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Newnurse65's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize that....learn something new

  23. I hate going to work because I never know if I will get out on time. Anyone feel this way

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to kida123's topic in General Nursing

    Another point to consider is staffing altogether. If you were pulled to sit, then obviously they didn't have any sitters available. The staffing coordinator has to check the other floors to see which...

  24. Annual License renewal

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Newnurse65's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, we renew every two years; not

  25. Annual License renewal

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Newnurse65's topic in General Nursing

    That would be similar to expecting the DDS to pay for your driver's license to be renewed. Wouldn't that be awesome?! But you can claim the cost of nursing license renewal on your
