  1. Understaffed with a heavy patient load

    Everline replied to ashleesini's topic in Medical-Surgical

    A hospital operates 24 hours a day, generally with two shifts or more. You do what you can in a shift and then the next person who comes on does what she or he can. You will never be able to do...

  2. Should I choose nurse in clinic position or OBGYN hospital position?

    Everline replied to Allimitless's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I would keep the clinic job with the friendly, welcoming environment and good workload. But this comes from someone who started out as a hospital floor nurse, left to work in a clinic...

  3. Nurses, do you feel respected by NPs

    Everline replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in General Nursing

    I encountered a couple of NPs in the hospital that were less than nice or supportive. However, most of them were awesome. Now that I am in an outpatient setting, the NPs I encounter are all great and...

  4. African American patients - a cultural question

    Everline replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wish more people really understood what "racist"

  5. Too soon to leave?

    Everline replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    No. Just make sure you have another job secured before you leave.

  6. I'm I crazy?

    Everline replied to sugar12's topic in General Nursing

    I commute far distances on some days and not so far on other days, but in general, I drive a lot to get to and from my job. I enjoy the time because I use it to listen to audiobooks, my favorite...

  7. Not too thrilled with my Capstone/Preceptorship Hospital Placement

    Everline replied to futurenurse16's topic in General Students

    I had a 4.0 GPA and didn't get any of my choices for my preceptorship. In fact, I got such an odd placement that seemed useless to me. It was in a hospital that I didn't care for and in a specialty...

  8. Nursing is a passion?

    Everline replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nursing is what I do for a living. It provides a paycheck. I love the idea of my work being my passion, but I have discovered that, at this stage, making nursing my fiery passion will simple burn me...

  9. Absolutely miserable

    Everline replied to slippersocks's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I could have written your post a few months ago. I left that job after 7 months, despite the warnings from all that I should stick it out for a year or risk ruining my nursing career. However, I left...

  10. How to 'Sell Oneself' to a New Specialty

    Everline replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I looked into what they wanted and then figured out how my experience prepared me or at least provided a good foundation. I used my cover letter to really highlight what qualified me or made...

  11. I am a new nurse and I am hating my job

    Everline replied to prubio352's topic in Medical-Surgical

    The beatings will continue until morale improves. I'm sorry you are going through this. People will tell you to hang in there and that this will give you a great foundation. However, only you can...

  12. positive for pot

    Everline replied to my own worst enemy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What made you decide to go into detox and "intensive outpatient" treatment? Do you think you need that because you consider your marijuana use to be out of control or did someone tell you that you had...

  13. Should I become an RN or OT?

    Everline replied to medapop's topic in General Nursing

    My advice is to go for being an OT. The reasons are many but the main one is the OTs I have known are happier at work and seem to rate their quality of life higher. The only thing I can say for...

  14. Should I place my license as inactive?

    Everline replied to setsuna92's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Keep your license active. CEUs can be done

  15. Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    Everline replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    Yes, it would be crazy. Don't do it. That's my

  16. Floor nursing to Clinic?

    Everline replied to msnorth's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm curious as to what the OP decided. I just left floor nursing to work in a clinic. I did lose the differential pay, but the clinic matched my base pay and I have other perks that I did not have at...

  17. Seven Hells: Vent

    Everline replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Keep your eyes open and network. I worked seven miserable months in med surg and was able to move to my desired nursing specialty, but with a different employer. I know you want to stay at your...

  18. Night shift on your unit

    Everline replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I just left a night shift job and it was different depending on who was working. Some nights were really quiet and other nights people talked so loudly (and laughed so loudly) that some of the...

  19. I took the plunge...it feels weird

    Everline replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Best of luck to

  20. Scripting?

    Everline replied to meg0620's topic in General Nursing

    The whole thing makes me cringe. We were told to use certain words too, specifically ones that are on the survey, so when patients are filling it out, they pick certain responses because they contain...

  21. Unpaid new grad RN residency

    Everline replied to heronurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I find this to be outrageous. But as long as there is a surplus of new grads, hospitals will get away with this...and

  22. Profession for some...attempted by many..

    Everline replied to jdruds's topic in General Nursing

    Two years of med-surg? Hey, if you like it, I love it. Only not for me. I'm in my seventh month and I am saying goodbye to go do the type of nursing I went to school to do. I say if med-surg is going...

  23. Staying Positive in Nursing

    Everline replied to SarahEAW's topic in General Nursing

    What is going right? I only have 6 more shifts before I get to leave my current position and move on to a different type of nursing. Thank goodness nurses have so many

  24. Hate Floor Nursing? Don't Despair!

    Everline replied to takecare11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes. I am happy to be moving on to a different type of nursing. I've learned a lot and I am grateful. But I need to find my joy in life

  25. I feel nursing is more of a calling than anything else

    Everline replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm not even sure what a calling is, tbh. Is a calling related to God? Can one have other kinds of "callings" from more earthly forces? Not trying to be dim. I never seriously thought I could be a...
