  1. Three 12s vs. Clinical Schedule

    Everline replied to Nurse3242's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    When I worked at a hospital, I couldn't imagine being there more than 3 days a week, mostly because I disliked my job. I went to an outpatient setting but still only worked three days a week. For the...

  2. Pts refusing to weigh

    Everline replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    We always weigh our patients and no one has ever declined it. I wouldn't care if they did. I'd just document and move on. On a personal level, I have, in fact, declined to get on a scale when I went...

  3. A Nurses Duty to act

    Everline replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    I need more specific information on the situation to comment. I understand why you might not give them, however. I mean who is going to say no about a nurse calling 911 in a medical emergency? There...

  4. Been out of work for 8 months now, have a question

    Everline replied to vishnu10003's topic in General Nursing

    What did you do your first year as a nurse? What kind of

  5. Pro Life Beliefs and Nursing

    Everline replied to Tuzla99's topic in General Nursing

    You never know what or who you will encounter in your nursing career. That being said, don't get a job in a place that provides abortion or in women's health or ob/gyn...and your chances of being...

  6. MAJOR Career Decision, Public Health?

    Everline replied to KRN20188's topic in Public, Community Health

    Well... Firstly, I am not in California, so I can't speak to how things are there. Sorry. As to the rest, you really have to think about what your goals are and where you want your career to go. I...

  7. Nursing and overtime?

    Everline replied to fishguy909's topic in General Nursing

    We don't work overtime. My boss will push us out the door and toss our belongings out behind us if she finds us still at work one minute later than we are supposed to be. I might be exaggerating, but...

  8. I know it's hard. But is it really that hard?

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

    Yes, it really is that hard...depending on what your definition of "hard" is. Nursing school was one of the hardest things I've done in my life. Others will say they breezed through and went to...

  9. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

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

    Yes. I applied to new grad residencies and they asked for my GPA...and it mattered. Jobs after that? No. Then there was the graduate school application where it really mattered. So yeah, it

  10. Crap! Am I a crusty old bat nurse?? Carrying pens...

    Everline replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Pens are essential. The Pilot G-2 is my favorite as well. I buy them often because, for some reason, my pens disappear at my work place. Not sure where they go, but they go *poof*. I keep several in...

  11. Whenever I start missing bedside nursing. . .

    Everline replied to Camino77's topic in General Nursing

    I never start missing bedside

  12. Hiring an RN into private practice

    Everline replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    I am a public health nurse so that salary does not alarm or surprise me, lol. However, I receive excellent benefits to include, among many other things, college tuition paid, generous personal and...

  13. Where do the nurses with the highest job satisfaction work?

    Everline replied to juliacaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that a good boss and good coworkers make such a difference. However, even that couldn't save the misery of acute care for me. I had to move on. I'm a public health nurse and nurses tend stay...

  14. Skillz....

    Everline replied to megatron44's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand it when people talk about being afraid of losing their skills. What skill are you referring to? There are many nursing skills. You will use some in one setting and a different set...

  15. nurse and social media inre s clarke

    Everline replied to morte's topic in Nursing News

    I am guessing the OP is talking about the nurse who said Stephon Clark deserved it (to be killed) for being so stupid. She was fired for posting that on social

  16. Do you like working in clinic/office?

    Everline replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    I could echo a lot of this. I love the regular schedule, no weekends, nights or holidays. I love seeing one patient at a time and getting to talk with them and educate them. I work in a health...

  17. Did you leave bedside nursing?

    Everline replied to NurseMegIBCLC's topic in Nursing Career

    That's a very narrow view of nursing. One of the things I love about being a nurse is that it is a broad field. I didn't like working in a hospital but I love being a public health nurse. I am a nurse...

  18. ADN Vs BSN, accepted into both?

    Everline replied to nova44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BA in another field and I went to school for my ASN, came out debt free, got a job (more than one) with no problem. I have never had a problem getting a nursing job. I kept contemplating...

  19. Problems with nursing profession and why I want to quit

    Everline replied to bravewarrior1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with a lot of what you wrote when it comes to hospital bedside nursing. I work as a public health nurse and besides the pay issues and the essential personnel (we can get deployed but I am ok...

  20. Transitioning from 12 hour shifts to Mon-Fri?

    Everline replied to wsoxgirl2008's topic in Public, Community Health

    I thought going from working 3 days a week to a 5 day work week would be really difficult. At first it did feel like I was always at work. Over time, however, I have come to like my schedule. I love...

  21. Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

    Everline replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken this test many times over several years and always get the same result: INFJ. I am a public health

  22. How do new grad Nurses that don't have BSN manage to survive this job market ?

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

    I've never had a problem securing a nursing job with an ASN. Not once, whether in a hospital or outside of it. I do have a BA in another field but I highly doubt that counted for

  23. Would you have gone to nursing school....

    Everline replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it was worth it! It's true that my first year as a nurse was really awful and back then I did wonder if I'd made a big mistake. But I am in my fourth year of nursing now and I am very happy being...

  24. Whats your favorite part of nursing?

    Everline replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    Educating patients and seeing patients turn their lives around for the better. I feel lucky that I get to see patients over time and see how they change and how their life is going. I like the...

  25. Nursing school lack of confidence/Clinicals

    Everline replied to A.J.R.'s topic in General Students

    When I was in nursing school and through my first couple of years of nursing, people would always say I was doing a great job but needed to work on my confidence. I think every clinical instructor...
