  1. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    Everline replied to nursequery1's topic in General Students

    That's way too much when you consider the current job market, a new nurse's salary and the fact that you can go elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. I wouldn't do

  2. Nursing and the sex industry

    Everline replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    Silly me. Based on the title, I thought this might have been the beginning of a discussion on the health needs of sex

  3. Stressed and Anxious New Grad

    Everline replied to NewMSNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate. I am just starting my first nursing job and I am feeling quite anxious and I leave work feeling pretty miserable. Obviously, I can't tell you how to feel better, since I don't know how...

  4. Which was more stressful: nursing school or actually working as a RN?

    Everline replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    You have no idea how inspirational this post is to me at this time in my life. Thank

  5. CNA Salaries

    Everline replied to Sashakay's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    19.75 an hour for a CNA? In Florida? Highly unlikely, because believe it or not, there are certain parts of Florida where they start new grad RNs at around that hourly rate. Depends on what part of...

  6. Should I take this new grad opportunity?

    Everline replied to chillaxinNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    How long is the pay "below normal starting salary"? I would not take a job under those conditions. They would need to pay me a regular starting wage (whatever that would be in a particular area) and...

  7. if you suck at nursing interviews, clap your hands!

    Everline replied to WakeYourMindUp's topic in General Nursing

    I do well on interviews. Now when it comes to nursing, getting the interview can be the tricky part. As a new grad, I found the application process to be exhausting, and this is coming from someone...

  8. How to get first RN job as a career changer?

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

    I am a "career changer" who is older than you and I was able to get interviews and a nursing job fairly quickly. I had a resume that played up my clinical experiences and certifications and grades and...

  9. Torn

    Everline replied to Kaligirl02's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What is the story with such low pay and such a delay for benefits? I'm glad you understand it, because I don't. I know there are new grad residencies, even in the ICU, that pay a regular wage during...

  10. nursing school THAT hard?

    Everline replied to happytypingirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pre-reqs were nothing compared to nursing school. Nursing school stressed me out the maximum amount. I really would never want to go through it again. It wasn't that the coursework was so difficult....

  11. Daisy Award

    Everline replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I love happy nurse stories! Thanks for sharing this and

  12. Hurst Review Opinion?

    Everline replied to jennifer_app's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I watched the Hurst videos and did the worksheets but did not do the practice tests. I passed NCLEX in 75 questions. But I also used Kaplan (did live review and all the test banks and trainers, but...

  13. How many job interviews before you get your first nursing job?

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

    I passed NCLEX at the beginning of February and was offered a job three weeks later at the end of February. I was not able to start that job due to a personal circumstance. However, I interviewed and...

  14. Having those "two letters" after your name

    Everline replied to rue2235's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can so relate. I recently got my hospital badge and it was an incredible feeling to see that "RN". Congrats on your achievement. May you have a very successful first year as a

  15. Second Semester: Done!!

    Everline replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    Congrats to you! I remember how good it felt to end a semester in nursing school and plus, you did very well. Have a great

  16. Working as a CNA as a muslim?

    Everline replied to inshaallahme's topic in General Students

    I have to second what Red Kryptonite said. As a CNA, you need to be prepared to do your job, which generally includes taking care of the hygiene needs of male patients. If you cannot do this, you...

  17. RNs with a Bachelor's in another field

    Everline replied to TwistaKrista's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As a person with bachelor's degree in another field, I don't mind and I expect to take upper level nursing courses for a BSN. It's when they try to get me to take general education course that I get...

  18. Passing cut offs

    Everline replied to vonricter222's topic in General Students

    When I was in school, grades were based on exams ONLY and the "cut off" was 75%. That seemed low to me, so 70% surprises

  19. Every other weekend & holidays??

    Everline replied to LuciaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    And here I was thinking having to work every other weekend instead of every weekend was a good

  20. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    Everline replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you really will approach this line of care very differently. Your original post was alarming, to say the

  21. How hard is it?

    Everline replied to manda90's topic in General Students

    It was very hard for me. But a lot of what I went through was self-imposed. I tend to worry a lot and can be very self-critical. Plus, I was determined to graduate with a 4.0 and since I'm pretty...

  22. Advice to a Nursing Student

    Everline replied to Katieaok's topic in General Students

    Don't compare yourself to others. This is the main bit of advice I wish someone had given me. Good luck to you in your nursing school

  23. Who teaches essential nursing skills?

    Everline replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I learned these skills and checked off on them in lab and then had an opportunity to practice a couple of them in clinical settings, but not enough times or with enough regularity to feel proficient....

  24. Asking for prayers: multiple nursing students died in car accident

    Everline replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

    I pray for the family and friends of those who were lost. Very sorry for such a

  25. I failed out of Nursing School... Appealed and WON!!

    Everline replied to ToBeBornANurseJB's topic in General Students

    You lifting up your "Bachelorette" degree over an ADN is just too perfect. I am trying to be offended, but I can't stop laughing! Plus, though I got a lowly ASN, I do have a "Bachelorette" degree in...
