  1. How did you know you were in the right specialty for you?

    Everline replied to sergel02's topic in General Nursing

    I started to love being a nurse, which was a huge change from other specialties. I'm really interested in what I do and tend to be good at the kinds of nursing skills and patient interactions needed...

  2. If you left floor nursing...

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

    I left after less than a year and I am so glad I did. I have zero regrets. I worked in an outpatient clinic and currently I am a public health nurse. Love my job. Finally love being a nurse. No...

  3. I am finally able to leave nursing by January 2018

    Everline replied to NursingBro's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly? I can relate. Nursing, at least hospital floor nursing, ruined my quality of life. At one point, I found that I was drinking more than I ever had. It snuck up on me. I didn't leave nursing....

  4. What do you do to relax

    Everline replied to marsbar37's topic in General Nursing

    Chant (meditation), go out in nature, play my favorite instruments, watch movies/tv, spend time with my family and/or

  5. Communication process at your work?

    Everline replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Our manager communicates through our work email, which we are supposed to be checking hourly while at work. I have no access to my work e-mail outside of work, though I've heard some people have...

  6. What do you mean I'm not a REAL nurse?!?

    Everline replied to #Nurse2017's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a public health nurse and I feel very much like a real nurse. No one has ever said anything otherwise to my face. The notion that someone working outside of the hospital is not a real nurse is...

  7. I am over IT

    Everline replied to anxiousnscared's topic in General Nursing

    I was stressed in nursing school. I was much more stressed when I started working as a nurse. Just being honest. YMMV. Some people might think it's all a piece of cake. If you tend toward depression...

  8. Tell me why an LVN/LPN is a "real nurse"

    Everline replied to PrettyNerd's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    RNs and LPNs are not the same, hence the distinction. That being said, that does not mean LPNs are not real nurses. Obviously, you are a real nurse. You are an LPN and you should be proud of what you...

  9. Can a nurse help me with these questions plees?

    Everline replied to dragonhawk's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Waiting to see what your answer would be and why. Then I'll chime in if you still need

  10. Leaving nursing

    Everline replied to missnurse92x's topic in General Nursing

    I can imagine it feels good to have reached a decision. Good luck to you. Could you possibly go PRN while you are in school or do you just want to get away from nursing all together? If you can work...

  11. Changing Speciality Preference

    Everline replied to nurseanna99's topic in General Nursing

    I became interested in being a nurse when I was hospitalized and saw the difference a nurse could make in my recovery. So my first idea was to be a floor nurse like the ones I met when I was sick. But...

  12. Leaving Bedside Nursing

    Everline replied to addiewaad's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't think nursing is not for you because you might not like floor nursing in a hospital. Nurses work in many different settings! It's good you want to finish your contract and opportunities...

  13. Have major anxiety, depression, don't really enjoy science... am I crazy for applying?

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

    IMO, the anxiety is a real problem. Nursing, especially the first year, can be extremely stressful. I am an anxious person but I was always used to managing it well. When I got my first nursing job as...

  14. How to obtain Transcripts from closed school

    Everline replied to Chio7676's topic in General Nursing

    One of the colleges I went to (not a nursing school) closed down. It was a legitimate school and I was able to get my transcripts from the state's education department and later another college that...

  16. Scary Nurses

    Everline replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't met any scary nurses of the caliber you are dealing with. But I have witnessed scary people in other professions who continue to rise up to the top despite their utter incompetence. I have...

  17. Sexual health nurses?

    Everline replied to victoria3594's topic in Public, Community Health

    I am in the United States. Where I live we have what are called "family planning" clinics which deal with contraception, pregnancy, STDs, patient education and etc. I am imagining this is what you...

  18. New grad discouraged by healthcare system

    Everline replied to 12345RNeagle's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad, yes I felt that way. I had a lot of "ethical dilemma" days. The things that bothered me were not gross negligence or glaring "wrong doing", as that was not occurring. I was just not...

  19. I just need some advice - or a hug. One or the other.

    Everline replied to Doxie_loverRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have the experience. There are so many other places and specialties you can work. Being a nurse does not have to be miserable. You can actually like your job, sleep at night and have a life....

  21. New Grad Leaving Nursing!

    Everline replied to harumi22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I, too, left hospital nursing after about 7-8 months and never looked back. It made me very unhappy. I now work outside of the hospital and I am quite content. It sometimes takes a while to find the...

  22. Freaking out..?

    Everline replied to BedtimeEnforcerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live, they will not even interview and hire you as a nurse until you have passed the NCLEX. I know it's different in other places. But the point is, it's a little early to be getting worried....

  23. RN with two jobs? One non nursing

    Everline replied to Meganmcm's topic in General Nursing

    I've thought of getting a part time, fun, non-nursing job. For some reason, I think it would be good for me. But the problem is I just don't want to be at work on my days off. Maybe I'm just lazy,...

  24. Do you ever regret becoming a nurse?

    Everline replied to hs276009's topic in General Nursing

    Straight answer? Yes. There have been times I deeply regretted becoming a nurse. I removed myself from the particular job that made me feel that way nearly every shift. Since then, I have times when I...

  25. Psychologist thinking of late in life career change....advice?

    Everline replied to live4ward's topic in General Nursing

    I went to nursing school in my mid-forties. I graduated with an ASN and with my age and degree, I was ready for a difficult road to getting a job. But as it turned out, I had no trouble whatsoever...
