    Taking a Long Leave of Absence from Work

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

    Nothing changes if nothing changes, so if you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting. This goes for personal and professional

    Which job should I take?

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

    I would take the short drive and the manager with a vision I feel led to. I know as a new grad there is this strong desire to go to the top of the acuity and experience food chain and learn as...

    Need advice! 😩😩

    K. Everly replied to Lchambless1990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, HUGE congrats on your recovery! It says a lot about you! So, I see options here. First of all, because your GPA was so low years ago with so many classes, you’re seeing now how hard...

    Misdemeanor Preventing Hiring

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

    Thank you! It’s so hard to navigate, but it’s achievable. In terms of the application itself, I think there was a word count issue and I had to be VERY brief. I believe I said something like...

    Misdemeanor Preventing Hiring

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

    This is ridiculous, and I’m sorry it’s happening to you. What an incredibly small infraction. I have a criminal record, lengthier than yours, none of them are drug related, but impairment...

    Telling People Your Nurse Title, RN or LVN

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

    I use both nurse and RN when describing my occupation. I think more often I just say “nurse.” I do admit though that if I were an LPN/LVN I’m not sure I say that to the lay person because I...

    How do you...? 2 questions.

    K. Everly replied to josie9toes's topic in General Nursing

    If this pt is significantly retaining and you can’t get a ISC order immediately, something is very wrong. Especially in this situation. That isn’t the kind of thing that can wait - he must void....

    Nurse and Bipolar

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

    This is the problem with labels and the DSM. You didn’t worry about your ability to choose the right job opportunities for yourself before, and you never lost a job d/t a supposed manic episode. Yet...

    Taking a Long Leave of Absence from Work

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

    You went back to work because you did not enforce the boundary. Nobody can make you do that unless they are physically holding you captive. They can manipulate you, sure. But you control YOU. They...

    Stuck myself with a subcutaneous needles after giving pt heparin injection

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

    First of all, I am so sorry! Those heparin and lovenox safety mechanisms are garbage because you can’t engage it with just one hand. So dumb. I’m a new RN and I had a needle stick injury...

    Got Fired Help Plz

    K. Everly replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, thanks for pointing that out. Autocorrect is fun. I avoid contacting my boss by text on cell phone for this

    Got Fired Help Plz

    K. Everly replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    I think part of the problem here is how this was comminuted but the OP. I understood it to mean she didn’t chart her stuff that day before being fired and told to leave. But, I can see how it...

    New Nurse, Thinking About Throwing in the Towel

    K. Everly replied to SICURN19's topic in General Nursing

    If you had a good job before that paid in the vicinity of nursing or at least not a huge pay cut, I would return to it. You didn't seem to hate it and you found it low stress. Keep your RN license...

    Got Fired Help Plz

    K. Everly replied to Rin nohara's topic in General Nursing

    The way I see it, if they refused to provide you an actual list of grievances they had with your performance or at least a legitimate concern that would markedly impact the care your pts were...

    Feel responsible for deteriorating patients

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

    First, I am so sorry you are experiencing so many sad and distressing situations as of late. I've heard difficult seasons like this can come in waves for nurses, and as a new RN myself, I can only...

    Is Hospital Inpatient Rehab Considered “ACUTE CARE”?

    K. Everly posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anybody shed light on this? I work on an inpatient rehab unit inside a level 1 trauma hospital. We do and see a lot that the med-surg nurses do: respond to critical lab values, hang...

    Grad Nurse (GN) Leaving First Nursing Job Prior To Being Licensed

    K. Everly replied to Nursemama274's topic in General Nursing

    Firstly, I’m sorry it’s been such a rough year! I think you have a few options. 1) Let your current employer know your GN license is going to expire before you can become a licensed...

    Is Hospital Inpatient Rehab Considered “ACUTE CARE”?

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

    Thank you. I am interested to know if this would fulfill the “acute care experience” wanted for other job opportunity in the future. The reason I ask is because I had heard another nurse on...

    Returning to Work After COVID

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

    That was never safe, though. For anybody, including yourself. Please take the time you need to get better. I know you’ve been under a lot of stress the last few months and your body is probably...

    Any nurses that work on a Clinical Stabilization Unit?

    K. Everly replied to lyssak's topic in Rehabilitation

    I think it sounds like an amazing opportunity but I really like working with people seeking recovery. It will definitely be a challenge in terms of getting treated pretty crappy by a lot of the...

    I hate being a nurse…

    K. Everly replied to Sav789's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I actually really understand this in a deep level. My unit is similar in that it is, IMO, one of the best in the entire hospital. People are more stable on my floor than most others in the hospital...

    School Not Allowing Us to Take NCLEX

    K. Everly replied to JDS's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is totally shady and I hope you do hire a lawyer and hold this school accountable. Lawyers are expensive but if the one you spoke to really is the most skilled and experienced with this...

    I hate being a nurse…

    K. Everly replied to Sav789's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think it’s a good question to help OP clarify values and get back in touch with what her hopes and dreams were for the profession as a reminder. Because I think she probably had strong reasons for...

    Panic attacks and losing my mind

    K. Everly replied to Penelopeann's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I totally agree with the person above who said not to put much thought into the current work situation. I know, easier said that done! But put all the energy into planning an immediate escape from...

    Wants to Quit NP Job and Work as RN Without RN Experience

    K. Everly replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I think it may be the area but I could be wrong. Maybe it would come down to your willingness to relocate, but I get that’s a daunting prospect if you could potentially stay where you are and get...
