    Any Nurses That Didn't Get COVID Vacc/Booster for Complio?

    K. Everly replied to NoFly-4645's topic in General Students

    Stick to your guns. Do whatever necessarily to protect your own medical freedom. I will pray you can make this work and I think you can. If you need any support, PM

    Any advice for anxious and socially awkward new nurses?

    K. Everly replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

    Love this advice. I also made my own custom brain and it helps me a LOT! Especially so when I was brand new. I also arrive a minimum of 15 mins early, normally closer to 25, to prepare. My shifts go...

    Any advice for anxious and socially awkward new nurses?

    K. Everly replied to Sweetme2's topic in General Nursing

    You probably feel so alone right now but the sentiments you are sharing felt true for probably 95% of us as new RNs (minus being shy/quiet, but most of us are intimidating speaking to the docs as new...

    Anyone else forced to get naked for supervised drug test?

    K. Everly replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is not necessarily standard but does happen from time to time. I doubt there is much that could be done about it, as they want to see the urine stream come from your urethra to the cup. Imagine...

    VA HPMP

    K. Everly replied to AnnaHill's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Deep breath. You can still keep your head down (I'll elaborate), and if your other case manager had all your paperwork and never raised an issue, I don't see it as being likely that you'll be...

    Perfume

    K. Everly replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've never heard of a BON using one, but it was used on me for sobriety court. They are called SCRAM tethers. They are basically a black box on a watch band that goes around your ankle and is not...

    Perfume

    K. Everly replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nope. I MEANT to say 3x a WEEK. I had to do a 6-panel drug test w/ EtG 3x a week. In addition to the urine tests, I also had to wear an ankle alcohol monitor for 8 months. And, when I got rid of...

    Fake Nursing School Scammed Me

    K. Everly replied to Soy Dora's topic in General Nursing

    I had no idea. Are you calling me Trippy? I don't know what that

    HPRP evaluation, advice needed please

    K. Everly replied to ScaredasheckRN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I managed, through tremendous efforts, to avoid an HPRP contract and board discipline while applying for my RN license while I was still in sobriety court for my 2nd

    New RN looking to expand resume, please help me!

    K. Everly replied to Nurse.NoFilter's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Great question. I also think that is something that would suit my personality well and would love to hear from others who may

    Wisconsin Nurse Amputated Man's Foot Without Orders

    I have more memes and facial expressions for this one than actual words. Crazytown is the only one that comes to

    Nurse lying to the BON about their past

    K. Everly replied to getanapple's topic in Nurses Recovery

    A DUI is, by definition, a criminal charge/conviction. Usually non-violent, but a crime

    Perfume

    K. Everly replied to Sanfranjflo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It’s unlikely but possible. Perfume has a ton of alcohol. In fact, I think it is almost all alcohol mixed with primarily synthetic fragrance. The chances of having a false positive from...

    Not Exactly HIPAA, But Worried I Said Too Much

    New grad struggle/situation

    K. Everly replied to go9873's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ahh, okay. So it sounds like their practices are a little shady but at least they have it written into their hiring paperwork. I personally feel it would be worse if they took liberties that went...

    Quitting Before My Four Weeks Notice

    K. Everly replied to TryingtoThriveRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sorry you're going through this. I feel like you're seeking advice but you've also said you're already certain you will call in your last shifts. I did float RN for a while and HATED...

    HIPAA Violations in Hospice

    K. Everly replied to hospicenurse269's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The first part is no, not HIPAA compliant. Those hundred people, many of whom have never even worked with the pt, clearly are not on a "need-to-know" basis about the pt. I would be uncomfortable with...

    "Discrepancies" In Epic Documentation

    K. Everly replied to Faithx14's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this is happening! I really don't know if you can get NSO at this point in time (I would think not), but I would still reach out to a licensing attorney for a consult to determine...

    California Board of Registered Nursing never got my transcripts what should I do?

    K. Everly replied to Evan622's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Imagine me passing you a warm cup of tea, a cookie, and a caring face when I say this next part: Sweetie, why did you wait 3 months to get on the phone with someone after hearing crickets all...

    New grad struggle/situation

    K. Everly replied to go9873's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First of all, there is NO part of this you should feel guilty or whiney about. You were deceived, or at least not properly informed, and you have a right to be frustrated about it - but rather than...

    Smart watches for health care providers

    K. Everly replied to Zapi791's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have an Apple Watch 7 - Nike edition. Definitely recommend the Nike edition because it’s the same price & had better watch face options. I also like it’s always on, so it doesn’t go black...

    Is a long commute worth it?

    K. Everly replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    I would never do this. No amount of experience is worth this for me. If she is a new nurse, she will get plenty of experience anywhere she goes, at least for the first couple years - we really...

    Misdemeanor Preventing Hiring

    K. Everly replied to LexiB's topic in General Nursing

    I understood what you meant when you described it before, and still, I would seal it. It won’t show up in all states or on all background checks that way. And, if someone really does hold it...

    Misdemeanor Preventing Hiring

    K. Everly replied to LexiB's topic in General Nursing

    There is a particular state, Florida, where they have something called a “withheld adjudication.” It does not mean the same thing as a deferred adjudication. Deferred adjudication usually...

    Challenge of Diaper Change Timeliness

    K. Everly replied to George Acenas's topic in General Nursing

    There is reality and then there are best practice and policy. Sometimes the two don’t meet. Doesn’t make it right, but makes it a fact of life. Too many poops for the number of hands...
