  4. Nurses who don't have the "passion"

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to My_toe_sis's topic in General Nursing

  7. I'm not sure if nursing is for me and I am freaking out.

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Brewskii13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you might want to figure out exactly what it is that you want to do. Seems to me that you don't really want to commit to either one. I do beg to differ with this statement! I am very good at...

  8. HELP burnout ALREADY

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to BeachBliss114's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Continue with your current career path to become an RN. You possibly just saved that patient's life. I'll be on the lookout for that office on the 6 o'clock news. There are so many opportunities once...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to LilyRN99's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  11. So you're just a nurse?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly don't care what anyone else thinks about my career. Because I'm a nurse, I spend far less time being evaluated by doctors than the average person. Because I'm a nurse, I don't have to...

  15. Got fired.. Need support

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    To the OP, I don't think you should avoid the hospital. I can almost certainly guarantee that you won't make this same mistake again. But I do feel strongly that new grads who have no prior healthcare...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to uniqueguy34's topic in Long Term Acute Care

  19. Everyone wants me to take Nursing?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to PoppyLizz's topic in General Nursing

    If you hate being a CNA, you're going to loathe nursing. A nurse is a CNA with a twist...that adds a lot of oomph, and produces a bang more times than not. If you can't produce that twist, oomph, and...

  20. Blood transfusions

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to missykb1's topic in General Nursing

    You will find quite a few infusions running on an Oncology unit. You never know when your patients hgb/hct results will indicate the need for replenishment. The frustrating thing is when the infusions...

  24. Do any schools offer a bridge program for Surgical Techs to become nurses?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to MissHopeful111's topic in General Students

    My experience as an LPN of 24 years did not help me get into the local LPN-RN bridge program because the advisor didn't "think" I could handle the science requirement while completing the other...

  25. CPR in a van

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Joseph callmejoe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the course will be held in the van; but that would be some real-world-like demonstration. As for the online aspect, the norm today is that you can do the theory and testing portion...
