  1. What should I do?

    Everline replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how you are feeling. Just wanted to say that first. Applying for nursing jobs can be a kick in the gut on many levels. But it looks like you are soon going to breakthrough and this will...

  2. Esme Needs Your Prayers

    Everline replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Prayers out to her! I hope she gets better and we will see her here again. I've learned a lot from her posts and miss seeing her around

  3. Unsolicited Warnings....

    Everline replied to theradiantforce's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One person giving me an unsolicited warning would cause me to keep that warning in the back of my mind, but I wouldn't necessarily take it too seriously, depending on what was said. However, if three...

  4. Professors who don't make their own tests...

    Everline replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually understand why this is upsetting. If I worked hard to do all the reading and studied hard for a difficult test and then later found out that other people could have very well had the...

  5. Should I give up and find another job?

    Everline replied to Crissy327's topic in General Nursing

    Age discrimination doesn't make sense to me in this situation for the same reasons Ruby Vee gave. It seems likely that they don't think you are a "good fit", but cannot explain this to you exactly....

  6. What are the benefits of landing a GN program position if your already licensed?

    Everline replied to LoveaNurse5512's topic in General Students

    I have never heard of a GN program/residency that is exclusively for those who don't have a license. Maybe I am misunderstanding something in your question. At any rate, whether to accept an offer in...

  7. Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    Everline replied to ThinBabe's topic in General Nursing

    Is this for real? I have no idea how someone would get through nursing school without touching patients. Just think about it for a minute. It makes no

  8. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    Everline replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    I graduated with a 4.0 GPA. While the school at large recognized this achievement, no one cared in the nursing department. There was zero motivation to achieve academically. C = degree! I did it for...

  9. Non-FIT Nurses and FIT Nurses

    Everline replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    I have scaled way back on the sweets and salty snacks that used to be a staple in my diet. In fact, for five days out of the week, I do not eat dairy products or meat and I stay on a pretty strict...

  10. How many graduates were in your graduating class?

    Everline replied to micheleC's topic in General Nursing

    I think we started with 80, graduated with something like 52, of which only half were our original class (there were transfers and people who originally started before us, but had to retake a...

  11. Nursing Blogs

    Everline replied to BecomingNursey's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure you want to put your personal information (especially your first and last name) out there like this? Just asking. Having asked that, you have a lot of enthusiasm and seem to really love...

  12. RN to BSN right after ADN or wait a year to start RN to MSN

    Everline replied to Ndoht's topic in General Students

    I sent you a private message so I don't hijack this

  13. RN to BSN right after ADN or wait a year to start RN to MSN

    Everline replied to Ndoht's topic in General Students

    I have to make a similar decision. I have graduated school already, but I am contemplating whether to go right into a RN-BSN program or to wait to go for an MSN. If I didn't already have a BA in...

  14. I LIED to a professor

    Everline replied to Peonies n posie's topic in General Students

    Do not "confess". Really. Don't do it. Let it go and move forward in a smarter way. Additionally, seek some assistance for your stress

  15. what was the hardest nursing class you took?

    Everline replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    Med-surg II. I was suddenly faced with a demanding, strict clinical instructor on a post-surgical cardiac unit. To say I had not been sufficiently prepared for that experience would be an...

  16. if you graduated in the last 5 years

    Everline replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated this past December with my ASN, got my license at the beginning of February, had a job offer three weeks

  17. NCSBN Prep Course

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

    The content was a bit tedious for me, but the question bank was great. I passed the first time with 75 questions. However, I used other resources as

  18. First clinical and I want to quit

    Everline replied to Burkeeexoh's topic in General Students

    As others have said, this is normal. There may be some people out there who will claim they loved every single clinical day in nursing school. But most of us had our ups and downs. One of my first...

  19. do you have a previous degree?

    Everline replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I had a BA in Liberal Arts. Wonderful education. Yes, it helped me tremendously. I really believe having that background enabled me to succeed in nursing school and graduate with a

  20. I'm going out on a limb here...

    Everline replied to jnnkknnj13's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used Hurst, Kaplan and NCSBN. It really depends on what would make you successful. If you need content, then Hurst and NCSBN are the way to go. I do have to say that NCSBN, for ME, was tedious for...

  21. Why try the PVT?

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

    Congrats! I paid for quick results too. Best 8 dollars I ever spent, lol. My license was posted the next day, but that 8 dollars bought me a good night's sleep and peace of mind. I did not do the PVT...

  22. Do Nursing Students Have a Life?

    Everline replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

    I made it a priority to graduate with a 4.0 GPA. So I pretty much lived and breathed nursing school. When I wasn't studying, I was thinking that I should be studying. I missed out on a lot of things...

  23. Bullied by Clinical Instructor

    Everline replied to dorkiexcici's topic in General Students

    Absolutely! Like I said, I'm just curious to hear the other side of the story when extreme things happen for seemingly no reason. I absolutely know that instructors sometimes target particular...

  24. NCLEX- how many attempts is too many?

    Everline replied to dinah77's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel kind of bad saying this but the NCLEX isn't THAT hard. Really, most of my nursing school exams were much harder. I think every one of my classmates has passed, most at 75 questions—and...

  25. Bullied by Clinical Instructor

    Everline replied to dorkiexcici's topic in General Students

    I'd love to hear the other side of this story. Not that I doubt the OPs interpretation of events. It's just that I sometimes read about people being bullied by clinical instructors and the description...
