  1. VIP Patient Demanding His Drugs

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to athey1999's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I’m curious as to how the order reads. If it’s “as needed”, then the physicians have shifted the burden to the nurse. If something happens to this patient, responsibility falls on the nurse...

  2. Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Fortunately or unfortunately, some of us are more forgiving than others. There are far too many victims who have run out of cheeks to

  3. Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what would a racist heart-recipient do if he or she found out the best came from a person of color? Just like an automobile, it’s what’s underneath the outer layer that gives...

  4. Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    There are no words. You've said it all. Your knowledge and credentials speak for themselves. It is sad to say that some of these behaviors will on fade once the one's possessing them are pushing up...

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

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

    That is awesome! I don't plan on going further than the Masters; but in all fairness, I wasn't planning on going any further than an LPN, either. Who knows what the future holds. Whatever is in store...

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

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

    What I wouldn’t give for retirement! After reading your post, I am so thankful that I wasn’t in an MSN mindset in my younger years. The process from yesteryear wouldn’t have made me happy,...

  7. BSN or MSN?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to kotagolo's topic in General Students

    If your end goal is a Masters in Nursing, I would suggest looking into programs that offer both degrees. Search for RN-to-BSN-MSN. Getting into one of these MSN programs will provide you the option to...

  8. Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I have experienced all sorts of prejudices...it just so happens that I'm a nurse. Here is my list: 1: At my current employment, there is a black female physician who refuses to talk with black nurses....

  9. 2 Nurse Verification of SubQ Insulin

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Heide MedSurg's topic in General Nursing

    Two-nurse verification was the policy at several of the hospitals that I traveled to and/or was employed with. However, this proved to be time-consuming when nurses could not proceed with...

  10. NA vs RN job offers

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to harvestmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I had your energy. I live under three miles from my job and I drive still. I have a bike, but there is no where to secure it, plus the halls inside the facility are literally so long, that I...

  11. VA Case Management

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to TeamRNs's topic in Case Management

    Oh, then you should have no worries at all, salary-wise. As far as the validity of your records, that would depend on the results. Some things even you may want repeated. But overall, I would say that...

  12. NA vs RN job offers

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to harvestmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Do you live in the states? (You mentioned a bike route of 7-10 miles). Any way, as a previous poster was saying, here, RNs are held to the highest degree in their possession no matter what your job...

  13. VA Case Management

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to TeamRNs's topic in Case Management

    I know it is frustrating. "Welcome to the VA" as they say. Remember, even if you don't accept the job, the physical is yours and you can request your records as they may come in handy for another job...

  14. COVID Partiers Play Dangerous Game

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ohio Veteran Who Refused to Wear a Mask Dies of Coronavirus Complications This man was only 37, according to the article. No quite as young, but still young and referred to COVID-19 as “hype”...

  15. Has anyone tested out of Anatomy?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Missy765's topic in LPN to RN

    Believe me, I understand and wish you well. Hopefully, they are accredited and have no surprises along the way. On a relative note, I tested out of anatomy by studying ONLY anatomy all day every day...

  16. COVID Partiers Play Dangerous Game

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The person who made that comment in the photo turns out to be a "Podcast Indulgent". I think he like to get a rise out of

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

    Update: I completed all course requirements yesterday (5 days after starting). Just waiting on final grade to

  18. Has anyone tested out of Anatomy?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Missy765's topic in LPN to RN

    The difference with Excelsior, at the time that I attended, was that they would accept credits from other institutions in addition to the test-out method. The OP's program will not allow

  19. Has anyone tested out of Anatomy?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Missy765's topic in LPN to RN

    Let me get this straight. The LPN-ASN instructors do not approve of the anatomy course taught by educated instructors. The LPN-ASN instructors do not provide nor allow this course as part of...

  20. Has anyone tested out of Anatomy?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Missy765's topic in LPN to RN

    Oh good

  21. Has anyone tested out of Anatomy?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Missy765's topic in LPN to RN

    What do they want? An A? Or is it you that want an A in order to be more competitive? Your grade is only 2 years old. Is that not acceptable? To answer your question, though, yes, lots of people...

  22. No motivation, depressed

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CRNAdreamer's topic in General Students

    I think the world we live in today has got a lot of us feeling the same way. My self-paced course opened up early prior to the weekend. I worked so hard all weekend that I’ll more than likely be...

  23. Has anyone tested out of Anatomy?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Missy765's topic in LPN to RN

    Have you taken it once already for this program and passed it, even barely? If not, what kind of bridge program won’t allow an Anatomy course? I don’t get this at all unless they’re trying to...

  24. Can I sit down the nursing boards in PA after graduating in 1997?

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

    Things have changed tremendously since the 90s. You definitely would want to look at a remedial course before attempting the NCLEX. The application process requires transcripts be sent as part of the...

  25. MBA degree

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

    Do you already have a BSN? During my search for an MSN program, I stumbled across a couple of programs that offered dual degrees (MSN + MBA; MSN + MPH), but I wasn’t interested in a dual degree. I...
