  1. Why so much Negativity in Nursing?

    Everline replied to lindsayCalifornia's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is just too broad of a field for blanket statements. I greatly disliked one type of nursing but love my current job and therefore, I love being a nurse. It was absolutely worth the stress of...

  2. Considering Nursing

    Everline replied to AbbyW's topic in General Nursing

    Just like in other professions, it depends on where you work and who your co-workers, managers and patients are. Nursing is a varied field. I am about three years in and I feel ok. I am not terrified...

  3. NCLEX-RN: What does it mean to pass with 75

    Everline replied to NS94's topic in General Nursing

  4. Nurses with children always go home early?

    Everline replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in a job (not nursing) where the people with children always had priority to leave early, arrive late and call off. It was always understandable and excused by my boss who explained it...

  5. Do ASN/ADN nurses still get hired in the hospital?

    Everline replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I got offered jobs in more than one hospital with an ASN. Never had trouble getting a nursing job with my degree. YMMV depending on location. I'm getting ready to go back for my BSN, not because...

  6. MA

    Everline replied to Jtraines5253's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't happens at my job, thankfully. It's more of an issue that other people are calling them a nurse. Patients tend to think any female who seems to be assisting the doctor in some way is a...

  7. From LDRP to Community Health

    Everline replied to nursem18's topic in Public, Community Health

    I am a public health nurse in a family planning clinic. We also test/treat STDs and other infections. In addition to knowing the various birth control methods and all the instructions and things that...

  8. F Grade Hospital

    Everline replied to Jessicajayyy's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are offered no other opportunity, don't get yourself into a contract situation unless you have a lot of information about what it is like to work there and you are certain about how it will...

  9. Associate degree in Nursing

    Everline replied to hollilynn92's topic in General Students

    I read and people told me that I would have a hard time getting a job in a hospital with "just" an ASN. The reality was that I had no trouble getting a job at all. None. Neither did any of my...

  10. Catholic Nurse Sues Duke University Hospital After Refusing to Assist with Abortions

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

    This actually makes me very angry. It's

  11. Putting in a year.

    Everline replied to scottjkel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree it depends on your career goals. About 7 months on the floor is what it took for me to get into what I really wanted to do as a nurse. I'm not sure that it was working as a floor nurse that...

  12. new grad in psych hoping to transition into PH

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

    Following what has already been said, if you want to work in public health, apply when you are ready! Your psych skill will suit you well in the PH environment. When you interview, list some of your...

  13. Terrified!!!

    Everline replied to Orchid535353's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't like to discourage anyone. I will advise that you think long and hard before you go into nursing. You have to consider the financial aspects of going back to school which may or may not be an...

  14. Public Health~A Critical Specialty

    Everline replied to karenvalk's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this. I am a public health nurse and I love my job. There are lots of different areas in public health for nurses to work but our general goals are the same. I love this specialty and...

  15. Why so many negative nurses in the field?

    Everline replied to Nursey916's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is my second career. There are "negative" people everywhere. I'll admit, nursing can emotionally and physically drain a person. That being said, I used to do everything I could to cheer people...

  16. Will I have a social life in nursing school

    Everline replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had no social life but I was determined to graduate with a 4.0 gpa. Since I am not the brightest bulb on the tree, I had to study very

  17. Quitting nursing school?

    Everline replied to MSTLUV's topic in General Students

    I disliked nursing school. I kept a journal and I sometimes go back and read it and yeah, it was pretty bad. I did very well as far as grades were concerned but emotionally, I wasn't doing so well....

  18. A typical pneumonia

    Everline replied to Lynne038's topic in General Nursing

    We can't answer medical questions here. What did your doctor say when he or she diagnosed you with

  19. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Everline replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    Your place of employment is probably not the best place to talk about your political opinions and certainly the last place to have political debates, no matter how many statistics you throw around. I...

  20. Nursing Schools That Do Not Require Exams For Entry

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

    Hope you have a lot of cash (or ability to obtain it) to spend on for-profit nursing schools that may or may not offer you a good education. That is probably your only chance at finding a nursing...

  21. A real nurse VS. a "fake" nurse

    Everline replied to okredrobot's topic in General Nursing

    Fake nurse? I really don't understand when people say things like that. But as you see it, so it shall be for you. If I were in your position, I'd change my thinking and take the job.

  22. I Thought I Had My Dream Job, but My Past Took It Away...

    Everline replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow, so sorry! I can only imagine what you are feeling right now! I wish there was something I could personally say or do to make it better. I truly hope when you look back on this, you will be...

  23. I'm loving Community Health nursing

    Everline replied to thelittleRNwhocould's topic in General Nursing

    I am a public health nurse and love it. I went through the similar experience of being frustrated by my nursing school's near exclusive focus on hospital nursing. (My first job in a hospital made me...

  24. Getting a non-nursing job?

    Everline replied to TNViking's topic in General Nursing

    Why not? The best thing about the idea is that you are keeping your foot in nursing and therefore can go back to it full time if needed or wanted without the trouble you might have if you left nursing...

  25. Failure in Med surg

    Everline replied to Joy4RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What you feel is not uncommon. I felt it too. Lots of new nurses do. At two months, if you felt completely confident and assertive, I might be worried about you. You gain confidence with time and...
