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

    NotMyProblem MSN posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    My Capella MSN course actually begins on Monday, July 13th. My enrollment advisor called and told me that the course actually opened up early (today, Friday-July 11th). I immediately went to the...

  2. Manager Falsified my initials

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Tanisha Hill's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Your initial question to her was actually addressed to ALL of them. The 3-way meeting was probably to make sure there was no retaliation against you, considering the legalities that are involved. Keep...

  3. Quitting a New Job

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to desandseek's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Harassment takes on many forms, direct and indirect. If the OP witnessed the slapping and was offended by it, it is considered harassment. It is no different than overhearing a heavy sexually...

  4. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

    @londonflo, in my 35-yr nursing career, I’ve never had an issue with a lab tech/MT/phlebotomist. I’ve even made a point (as a 20+ year night shifter) to collect my own 0600 PTTs and troughs just...

  5. Working as a CNA while in school??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to CoffeexScrubs's topic in General Students

    Smart plan! Not only are you building a resume, you also have your foot in the door, which should make it easier to secure a licensed

  6. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I didn’t say the OP needed to know any of what we do. My point was that an assumption was made and 80% of the RNs were tried and found guilty by the OP based on that assumption. As busy as acute...

  7. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

    So you’re not a phlebotomist, but a MT. We are not phlebotomist, either, and blood collection was not and is not part of any nursing program. But this is a task that is expected of us should...

  8. But what if I just don't LIKE it?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to katygw's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It would be interesting to know how you would know this as I’m pretty sure phlebotomist are not allowed to touch PICC lines. Could it be that your viewpoint is as it is because you are overworked...

  9. Is this shady?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Lexus L.'s topic in General Students

    I would just move on to a program that has the proper accreditation if I were you...even if it means having to repeat a couple of courses. If you’re having this much grief on the front end, imagine...

  10. Forgot to call doc after lab called

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Brittney Johnson's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is relatively minor. However, other lab results may require immediate attention, so try to get in the habit of calling the physician/provider as soon as you take the call to get that off you....

  11. How do you know when you've found your niche? Unhappy with nursing in general

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    It took me 35 years and I can honestly say that I love my job and it is more of the team that I work with, including the doctor, than the area. It’s DEFINITELY NOT the patients or leadership,...

  12. Hard Decision

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to SouthSectional's topic in General Nursing

    Former traveler here. What they said!! Let me just add that as a traveler you’re almost guaranteed to get THE worst of the worst patients on the unit. Either stay where you are, or apply for a...

  13. Patient Abandonment

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    This idiot fired himself! As I was reading this, I was thinking he was gonna be found somewhere with at least a half-a**-believable lie. But the dumb*** told the truth!! He must have been one of the...

  14. Resignation Question

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DSG28's topic in General Nursing

    I’m pretty sure ‘they’ already know. But yes, it should be reported...without fear of retaliation...or flat

  15. Resignation Question

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DSG28's topic in General Nursing

    It was an HCA. And since I regifted it within the same year (every single penny), they could not legally report it as income given to me. Believe me, I was definitely waiting on the W-2, with an...

  16. Resignation Question

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to DSG28's topic in General Nursing

    I wish there was a way of alerting new nurses that if they are offered sign-on bonuses for nurses with ZERO experience, it is most likely a place they’d want to avoid! It isn’t like they were so...

  17. Nursing Student In Need of Interview Volunteer

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Alison Semeraro's topic in General Students

    Choosing an online nursing community is not what I think the instructors had in mind. If interviewing nurses is what you want to do, I’d think you’d at least want to know for a fact that you were...

  18. Which route should I go to achieve dream?

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to MDJ0730's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Really??? So why enter women’s health? What are you going to do when one of your patients become pregnant or come to you with ‘female’ problems? Refuse to see them? That’s the fastest way to...

  19. Cheating Classmates

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Hazex6's topic in General Students

    All the more reason for you to learn all that you can to keep yourselves and your loved ones out of the hospitals! These students are the new faces of nursing (if they manage to overcome the NCLEX)...

  20. New nursing student

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to Nelly134's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may be getting ahead of yourself just a tad bit. Sometimes when courses are listed by 1 and 2, they have to be taken in sequence. Check the requirements of your program. If you’re allowed to...

  21. Registering for NCLEX in GA

  22. Would love some input.. take LVN boards or??

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to abbyc's topic in General Students

    I wouldn’t have a clue! My LPN years took place with Ole Flo back in the dark ages!?? For my RN NCLEX eleven years ago, I used Kaplan’s Strategies, Practices, and Review. Reach out to your...

  23. I don’t want to work extra!

    NotMyProblem MSN replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    The phone bill that came with mine was heavier than the battery!! Especially outgoing calls! I remember making calls and saying, hey, call me! Then hung up and waited for the
