  1. LTC to TCU/Med surg

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    I’m pretty sure you know what a TCU (Transitional Care Unit), but didn’t know that’s what it was called.? Some facilities use TCU and Swing Bed interchangeably. I’ve primarily encountered...

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

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

    The answer to your questions is yes. I’m using student loans, and I’m doing the Flexpath option (going at my own pace). I’m not sure about enrollment into the Guidedpath option (traditional...

  3. RN to BSN program?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to lily chen's topic in General Nursing

    Here’s another one: https://www.capella.edu/content/dam/capella/PDF/policies/2.01.01.pdf I’ve never attended WGU, but I have heard about their program. I received my ASN and BSN through Excelsior....

  5. RN to BSN program?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to lily chen's topic in General Nursing

    There are those institutions that will accept a student on "conditional/probationary status" with the condition that they achieve the recommended/required GPA in a specified time period. That is what...

  7. Pursuing an MSN program with a 2.91 GPA

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Theavgnurse's topic in General Students

    There are quite a few programs that will accept a 2.9 GPA. The thing is, though, is that you’d be admitted under academic probation and during that time, you MUST receive and MAINTAIN at least a 3.0...

  8. Capella RN to MSN

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

    I made a thread in the Post Graduate section just

  9. Fastest & Easiest RN-BSN program online?

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

    Excelsior’s BSN and MSN programs are not affected by the accreditation situation with the ASN program, and the ASN program is still acceptable in some

  10. Capella RN to MSN

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

    I just started with Capella on Friday. I plan to use my employer for the practicum. This is allowed as long as the preceptor as the same or higher degree that/than you’re seeking, and is not your...

  11. Can I take NCLEX in 2 different states?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Raqnader82's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    No. If you plan to work in New York and it isn’t a compact state, then you’d need to apply for licensure via NCLEX in that state. There is no way around endorsement if a state is not a compact...

  12. As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    OMG!

  13. Nursing check-in: How are your numbers???

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to ladycody's topic in Disaster Preparation

    GA: One of the local hospitals here has been tight-lipped about its COVID census since this madness began. But today, it shockingly reported to the media "dramatic increase" in testing, positive...

  14. VA Palo Alto

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to PioneerRN's topic in General Nursing

    If it’s like our VA here, the inpatient rotation goes like this: 2 on, 2 off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on (8-hr + 12-hr), 3 off. The 3’s are the weekends. The example above started on Monday. The work week...

  15. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You may have spoken too soon. Just watched the evening news. Europe may become the new America. It's citizens are defiant, too, after being released from house arrest of 3

  16. New protocol - No report from ER to floor...

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    My last three travel assignments (at three separate hospitals) had instituted a faxed-report procedure. The ER nurse would only call to say check your fax machine for information on Patient X. I’m...

  17. FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    People have always been this way. With COVID, the ignorance has finally become unmasked (no pun intended). Many of our patients are our patients because they choose to do what they want to do in...

  18. Ethics question, risky nurse, reckless behavior

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to griffeysnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So basically the nurse comes to work, does nothing, and goes home. As for not giving report, what would she say? She’s already admitted to not laying eyes on the patients...anything else would be a...

  19. Nursing may not be for me.. help!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Vmanzini's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, the patient bonding went out the window as soon as cellphones for nurses became a requirement. Let a call go unanswered, especially if it was from a nurse who was calling to give...

  20. Question for Psych Nurses

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to sw0495's topic in General Nursing

    I’m a nightshift nurse who’s just transition to a banker’s hours position, after being on nights since 2002. Getting up in the morning is killing me, but that’s a whole other story. I’m...

  21. PASSED IN 60 - WALKED OUT CONFIDENT

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

    Congratulations ????! I know how you feel.? Ten years ago on June 16th, I walked out of Pearson Vue feeling the exact same way because the computer shut down at 75 questions. I was so naive that I...

  22. What schools allow you to challenge the LPN boards in the United States?

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

    In the first sentence, the OP said that he/she already passed boards. I’m wondering if this is general curiosity, or maybe info that is sought to share with other students(???). I do know the option...

  23. Asked to meet with defense counsel to clarify documentation

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to May82's topic in General Nursing

    I was once contacted by the attorney of a previous employer. Apparently, they disliked my answers to their questions as much as I disliked what I witnessed at that facility because I never heard from...

  24. What schools allow you to challenge the LPN boards in the United States?

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

    In my area, it wasn’t a ‘state’ thing (for lack of a better term), moreso than an individual program option. I think you can find this information by a Googling a particular state to see if...

  25. Has anyone gone through Acheive Test Prep?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Awildflower14's topic in LPN to RN

    Achieve Test Prep is not a nursing program. A friend of mine who bought into their “program” said that they supposedly teach you how to study at a very hefty price. You’d still be required to...
