    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    K. Everly replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Few things. 1) Context is king. A coworker, in person, approached him in the elevator and had a melt down. That is very different than someone coming onto a forum of opinionated people and...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    K. Everly replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    You are right in a lot of this. The behavior of the coworker was unprofessional and weird at best, and baiting and retaliatory at worst. I think part of the reason you are seeing people giving...

    Is my nursing instructor bullying me?

    K. Everly replied to lexieanders's topic in General Students

    Administration is FAILING in this situation. If you are a one-party consent state (meaning you don't need the other person's permission to record them) I might record her on my phone being awful to me...

    K. Everly replied to Bailey123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I would contact a licensing defense lawyer ASAP. I found mine on the https://taana.org website. I have recommended my lawyer to a few others and we've all been pleased with her assistance even tho she...

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

    Any time they spent writing a list could be better spent on the grind actually DOING the things on it. Girl bye

    Need advice. Stressed out!

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

    Thinking of you, Suzie. I'm so sorry for the loss of your parent as well! I'm a new grad in a residency and I was just given my permanent unit placement. We "bid" on units with openings and...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    K. Everly replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    You could be right. Curious, does it take you the same amount of time to say these two phrases? “Wow, that sounds like so much stress you’re under right now. I don’t have any advice,...

    I don't think I'm cut out for nursing

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

    Nursing is such a vast field. Not all of it is acute care. There is definitely a place out there for you if nursing still feels like a calling! Personally, I am headed onto an acute rehab floor...

    Weird Question: Are All Hospital Nurses Wearing Scrub Caps Now?

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

    That’s a good idea. My current ones are pretty “loud,” so to speak (bright Lilly Pulitzer prints). I beyond love them, but don’t want to seem too ostentatious as a new grad on the unit....

    Resurrecting this post to ask another question: I am moving to my permanent unit placement in acute rehabilitation & wondered if it would be weird to wear a scrub cap here? I am loving...

    Inpatient rehabilitation

    K. Everly replied to sweenie's topic in Rehabilitation

    Bless you! I never knew this. Is this industry standard? I’m not the OP, but I accepted a new grad position within the main hospital for the rehab floor; most of our pts are neuro of some sort...

    I made bold, stupid decision to resign without securing another job and now I'm torn!

    K. Everly replied to obitouchiha's topic in Rehabilitation

    I would go to nights and see if it feels any better. At the very least you won't have to see management nearly as much. You can plan an escape later when you've done a true assessment of your...

    Bored after 3 months?

    K. Everly replied to saradista's topic in Rehabilitation

    As a new RN completing phase 1 of my residency on med-surg and entering phase 2 on my permanent unit (rehab), I honestly don't know how you can be bored. Like, I legitimately don't understand. I...

    2 Job Offers - Which Do I Take???

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

    You absolutely don't have to take the position that it just "feels," like you should. Nursing is an incredibly vast profession and some nurses never work in the hospital or acute care a day in their...

    K. Everly replied to ER.RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Diverted Fentanyl, DEA involved- has anyone ever been through this?

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

    That breaks my heart. I know you're going to do what is right for you and I don't blame you at all. At the same time, how sad that nurses don't support each other more than this. I wish they had...

    Weird Question: Are All Hospital Nurses Wearing Scrub Caps Now?

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

    Thanks again, everyone. I feel like a scrub cap makes a world of sense. I don’t want to wash my hair every single day, and yet I know it really is more hygienic to cover it. Also saves time on...

    My family doesn't think Nursing is for me.

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

    You get to decide what is right for you, and nobody else. Family members can have a myriad of reasons for giving us the advice they do - some of those reasons are pure and justified, some of those...

    Licensing Question

    K. Everly replied to mlynn75's topic in General Nursing

    I’m not saying your school is wrong but it’s definitely possible they are. I went to a pretty reputable program and the degree to which they seemed to lack knowledge and have flat out incorrect...
