    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 would probably connect with Amanda Guarniere from the “Nurse Becoming” podcast. She is also the owner of TheResumeRX and The NP Society forum. I took some of her courses and listen to her...

    53 Yrs Old, No BSN and Feels Helpless

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

    Your story is an interesting one, as is what you said about the “RN, LPC” licenses behind one’s name. My sister and I both have BA’s in psych, and she went back to school for her MA LPC,...

    MedSurg to Dialysis Transition

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

    I would be curious about this too. I’ve thought about dialysis because I think it might work well for my personality - high anxiety & prefer to do one thing at a time, some OCD traits, very...

    Is it anxiety or do I hate being a nurse?

    K. Everly replied to TCH91's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate reading this. I am struggling as a new nurse in a hospital setting even on an acute inpatient rehab unit. I did med-surg float for a very brief time and could honestly see why some of...

    When should a new grad reveal a disability that prevents them from working nights?

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

    There aren’t a lot of reasons I can think of that a person would need ADA reasonable accommodations to be off night shift, save for like difficulty driving in the dark (which still seems unlikely...

    When should a new grad reveal a disability that prevents them from working nights?

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

    Ouch. It hurt to read this. Your management clearly took advantage of your the dedication to your unit you speak of, and this is precisely why the most giving and loyal nurses keep getting *** on. I...

    Danskos and inserts

    K. Everly replied to T-Bird78's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Curious how it all panned out. There are certainly two divided schools of thought on foot health - one is quite minimalist, and one (more common) is all about more orthotics/support/restriction....

    Figs or Jaanuu?

    K. Everly replied to Lynker's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you're looking for shoes, I'd recommend Altra over Brooks. Altra has wide toe boxes and are zero-drop, so foot healthier. They allow your toes to truly splay and that is so incredibly...

    How do I know if I’ve been reported? What do I do?

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

    You won’t know until you hear from them. If there was a way that wouldn’t shine a spotlight on you for asking, I definitely would have mentioned it. It’s one of the most frustrating things for...

    How do I know if I’ve been reported? What do I do?

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

    Normally a consultation would be free. Go see what they have to say about your situation. A lot of it is going to be contingent upon the exacts of your situation around this particular incident, and...

    How do I know if I’ve been reported? What do I do?

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

    I'm sorry this is happening, and would suggest lawyering-up before you say a word to ANYBODY - a therapist, your work, the board, IPN etc. Not a word without a lawyer. Find a healthcare licensing...

    Potassium IV hack

    K. Everly replied to atlnurse7's topic in Critical Care

    I wonder what the filter did..? I'm glad it worked out. I'm really curious why

    Danskos and inserts

    K. Everly replied to T-Bird78's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    These shoes are harming your feet. Please take a read of this article before you work any harder to make an unstable shoe more comfortable:...

    Arguing Over a Patient Assignment

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

    Exactly. I took OP’s statement as relating to the motivations of the facility, not her own. And we ALL know that facilities don’t take patients for any other reason but money. We can do better...

    Non-Hospital Nursing

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

    I'd like to hear too because hospital nursing is starting to feel like the stress hole where nurses go to die young. Your situation sounds amazing, and I'm happy for you. I can only hope it...

    Raising Awareness of Nurse Suicide | Life of a Nurse

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

    Chilling. Things change when we refuse to continue working in environments that are unsafe, emotionally tormenting, and unsupportive. Nurses are needed in those environments too (we're needed...

    Please Help Me! I’m Over It!!

    K. Everly replied to Nurse5678's topic in Private Duty

    This mom is a nightmare & I'm disappointed that your DON proposed skirting around the issue and making veiled threats to try and attitude adjust this grown woman who is mistreating her child's...

    Direct Observation UDS

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

    I had to do 3x weekly observed USD for 2.5 years as a part of probation through the court for a DUI. They truly did make me lift my shirt way up, spin all the way around, and ask me to spread my...

    Advice? The Ole' Bait & Switch (bonus shift)

    K. Everly posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can someone tell me if I'm overreacting? How do I keep this from happening again? I work in the hospital on a closed inpatient unit. Rather than self-schedule, we have master patterns that repeat...

    Working as a CNA in SNF vs. Assisted Living

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

    I was a CNA in SNF in a locked dementia unit for 3 years prior to becoming an RN. I got a lot of good experiences and it's a big reason I became a nurse. I'm certain my experience there was more...

    Refusing to Cover for a Colleague

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

    I was going to respond in one way, but your response got me thinking and I'm going to alter my response now. I remember reading about your situation before, @SilverBells. I feel really sad...

    Advice? The Ole' Bait & Switch (bonus shift)

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

    Yeah our scheduling situation is kind of a nightmare and none of us like it. The only reason we put up with it is because it kind of guarantees us safer nurse/pt ratios. I was an MS/tele float for a...

    Advice? The Ole' Bait & Switch (bonus shift)

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

    Mic drop. ? Yep. I like my managers but they are directly in between helping me out and helping out the higher-ups, and the higher up's hold their jobs in their hands, while I'm really just...

    Advice? The Ole' Bait & Switch (bonus shift)

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

    Brilliant. So true. I made another mistake recently in swapping with a coworker who then had the opportunity to help me make a swap and didn't. I think I made the switch to at least garner...

    Leaving nursing

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

    Personally, I have another bachelor’s degree in psych so before I got licensed and while the board was looking into my criminal record to determine whether they would even license me at all, I did a...
