  1. Are You Protected Against Identity Theft? - FREE Offer for Nurses

    Everline replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I tried many times to sign up this morning but kept getting an error message. :-( Maybe I'll try again

  2. Decreased pay during orientation?

    Everline replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    No, the hospital where I work does not do that. I got my full pay during orientation. I believe they also paid my preceptors

  3. Can this be put on the homepage or SOMETHING?!

    Everline replied to SubSippi's topic in General Nursing

    I just signed it. Thanks for the

  4. 8 Hour shift vs 12 hour shift

    Everline replied to gwelch01's topic in General Students

    12 hours is a long shift. But having to be at the hospital 5 days a week with 8 hour shifts would be much, much worse in my opinion—in almost every

  5. Nurses expecting to do too much!

    Everline replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    This is how I feel about it, quite nicely put. Of course doctors sometimes forget things and we should see that these things are done as patient advocates. But I should not have to regularly run after...

  6. Brian Short News

    Everline replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I'm stunned. I love this site and it has helped me in so many ways from the beginning of my inklings of becoming a nurse. I am a nurse now and this site has been an important part of (and companion...

  7. Brian Short News

    Everline replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I posted in this thread and it disappeared. Again, I'm so sorry for such a tragedy. My condolences go out to the extended

  9. If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    Everline replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    No. Not much else to say. But I'm a new nurse, still in my first year. Ask me again a year or two from now. I might feel differently. I don't

  10. New Graduate RN having preceptor commucation problems

    Everline replied to Kaytayxx's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had a chance to read all of the other responses. So forgive me if this is a repeat. I feel for you. I had a preceptor once who snapped at me and was all over me about new orders and...

  11. The struggle is real

    Everline replied to Kmendi's topic in General Students

    When I was in nursing school, I attempted to manage my stress by exercising and making time for hobbies/things I enjoyed when I could. Ultimately, it was most helpful to manage my study time...

  12. Does a preceptor qualify as a supervisor/manager type of reference for a job? urgent!

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

    I've used a preceptor for a management reference and it was fine. I didn't ask first. According to the reference forms in my case, my preceptor fit the definition.

  13. What is the nurse-patient ratio where you work?

    Everline replied to kaliRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    1:5 on day shift, 1:6 on night shift. This is a neurology floor with overflow M/S. It can go higher at certain points in the year or when people call out, of

  14. Nurses: How many phone calls do you get per shift?!

    Everline replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of the reasons I don't want to go back to day shift. Ever. On day shift the phone was constantly ringing. Drove. me. crazy. I couldn't give a number as to how many times. It was A LOT. I...

  15. Stick with clinic job or accept hospital job?

    Everline replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on your goals as to whether it would be beneficial and worth the stress and possible drop in quality of life. If you decide it is worth it, be prepared to possibly second guess yourself more...

  16. why do so many nurses post that they love the med scanners

    Everline replied to the nites's topic in General Nursing

    Med scanners rock!!! Most of the time

  17. Shoes Help

    Everline replied to Molly12's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I tried and bought several different pairs of shoes. I finally bought a pair of black Crocs Neria work clogs, which work well for me. The point of this post is that you might have to try a few...

  18. Need advice please on giving up on nursing tomorrow

    Everline replied to coldsteel1's topic in General Nursing

    It's strange, but you can't really know if nursing is for you until you go through the hell that makes you feel like nursing isn't for you. That's how I see it, anyway, as a new nurse in a hospital...

  19. plagiarism??

    Everline replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there are more important things to worry

  20. Scrubs for the slim

    Everline replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am thin and tall. I always have trouble finding scrub pants that are long enough, while not being too big. I wear cherokee scrub pants because they have an extra small in a tall size, which fits me...

  21. New Grads: how long did it take you to find a job, or how long have you been ...

    Everline replied to kieran07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated in December 2014. Got licensed in early February. Had a job offer three weeks later, but due to personal circumstances, I could not take it. Got another offer in April at another hospital...

  22. Employment background check

    Everline replied to kokebon's topic in Nursing Career

    In my experience, yes. My former boss told me what they said/asked when they called. They did identify the name of the hospital. That doesn't mean all third party companies do this,

  23. Nursing school GPA and jobs

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

    I graduated last December and applied mostly to new grad residencies. Most of them asked for my GPA, a couple of them wanted transcripts. In fact, I've recently talked to nurses who were denied...

  24. Crocs Mercy Work?

    Everline replied to NurslingNicole's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wear Crocs Neria and really like them. I have issues with my feet and these shoes seem to work best for me. (I have tried many, including Dansko). They reduce the pain and ache I feel at the end of...

  25. Offered job while still an extern

    Everline replied to Kystudentrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think contracts are fairly common, especially for new grads. Three years is a bit steep for me, though. I would have to be certain that not only could I handle the job, but that I would like it and...
