  1. Public Health Interview Questions

    Everline replied to frances81's topic in Public, Community Health

    It really depends what you will be doing as a PHN. For instance, are you going to be doing immunizations? Working with people who have tuberculosis? School health? Healthy start? Community visits?...

  2. Would You do This Commute?

    Everline replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I have commuted more than an hour each way for a job I loved. I did extensive commuting at my last job, several hours per week. On the days it was just an hour each way it seemed easy! When I...

  3. New Grad:Leave new'ish acute care perinatal for (unexpected) dream PH maternal-child job?

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

    I didn't explain much, actually. I wrote a resignation letter that was short, sweet and to the point. Basically I said I was giving two week notice, but did not give a reason for leaving. I said how...

  4. New Grad:Leave new'ish acute care perinatal for (unexpected) dream PH maternal-child job?

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

    I'm an "older" nurse and this is my second career. I wanted to be in public health from the time I was in nursing school, but I had the idea that I needed to do my time as a hospital floor nurse. I...

  5. Why Do You Love Being A Prison Nurse?

    Everline replied to Everline's topic in Correctional

    I love these answers. Working as a prison nurse is not my full time gig anymore. But I find that I miss the inmates and my co-workers! It's not an easy specialty but it's rewarding in so many ways. I...

  6. Insight from current nurses- do you like your jobs?

    Everline replied to The new nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in my third year of nursing now and I'm just getting to where I like being a nurse. My first year was rough and, over and over again, I questioned my decision to enter this profession. Reality...

  7. Public Health Nurse Interview

    Everline replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    My public health nurse interview was a panel interview. It lasted over an hour. There were two types of questions, those related to skills and knowledge and those related to situations/behavior....

  8. Public Health Nurse Pathway

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

    You do not need an MPH to work as a public health nurse. You do not need an MSN either. Yes, it's possible to be employed as a PHN after you graduate and then you can see what education would be best...

  9. Come On People, How Stupid Are You??

    Everline replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sometimes I have to stop and think for a moment when I see those symbols, . In the case of bp meds, though, a little thought and common sense goes a long way. However, I think it's best to write...

  10. Does anyone else ever envy their patients?

    Everline replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. I don't think I have ever envied a patient. Some of my patients are actually healthy, but they have other situations or difficulties that I would not want to have. I understand wanting a day or...

  11. Renew ACLS?

    Everline replied to ivyleaf's topic in General Nursing

    If you plan on applying again for ED jobs in the future, I would just go ahead and renew. The certification was required for my last job and therefore I renewed it. I don't need it for my current job...

  12. Am I too old to become an RN??

    Everline replied to bananerz84's topic in LPN to RN

    Seriously? I was 47 when I graduated from nursing school. I was not too old. I have no idea about

  13. What Did You Get For Nurses Week?

    Everline replied to iPink's topic in General Nursing

    I got a visa gift card from one of my employers (thank you!) and a big fat nothing from the other. Some of the administrators were "offended" when they heard people were making jokes about getting...

  14. Nursing school has made me not like nursing

    Everline replied to kilcawleymarco's topic in General Nursing

    By the end of my nursing program, I was pretty exhausted. Honestly, I hated nursing school. What's worse is that, in some important ways, it didn't prepare me for being a nurse. I found working as a...

  15. Considering Correctional Nursing

    Everline replied to Jerry 75's topic in Correctional

    As a nurse (RN) working in corrections, I do dressing changes (a few of them) every shift I work. I also see inmates who declare medical emergencies and who need evaluation before going to confinement...

  16. More Autonomy?? No more hourly wage grovelling!!

    Everline replied to NefforamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only way I was able to manage something kind of like this was to go PRN and therefore have much more say in my schedule from month to month. This is not doable for everyone because PRN/per diem...

  17. Why Do You Love Being A Prison Nurse?

    Everline replied to Everline's topic in Correctional

    I really love this post! You sound like an excellent nurse and I only wish for more like you in this

  18. fake illness...how to rule out real injury

    Everline replied to Psych77's topic in Correctional

    It is sometimes hard to tell, isn't it? Part of my assessment is to talk to the inmate and get them to answer questions in a detailed manner. If it's an emergency, it will usually be obvious...like...

  19. Inmate Porters

    Everline replied to Zigga zig ah's topic in Correctional

    We have inmates who are "assigned" to other inmates who need help. For instance, helping other inmates who are wheelchair bound, blind or otherwise disabled. I'm not sure it's a formal program. But it...

  20. New grad RN and I'm considering leaving the hospital fresh off orientation for another

    Everline replied to FlyingFishofFury's topic in General Nursing

    I can totally relate to what you are feeling. My first hospital job was a true reality shock. I was miserable beyond anything I'd ever experienced before. Everyone told me to hang in there. It was...

  21. Any tips on how to protect your self in a clinic?

    Everline replied to Life22feb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. What do you mean "protect yourself"? What kind of clinic is

  22. Feeling Bad Looking for Another Job

    Everline replied to motor_mouth's topic in General Nursing

    Guilty? No. I don't count myself as that important to my employer. They will replace me in a heartbeat or let me go according to what is best for them, without one bit of guilt. Therefore, I will do...

  23. Long Term Care Nursing is Lame

    Everline replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't even know how to take this post. I'm not an LTC nurse, but I have to say, I still feel slightly offended. Getting over that, however, you decide how you view your job and the pride you put...

  24. How am I gonna pay for this???

    Everline replied to lebelesprit_'s topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I always advise people to go through whatever trouble they have to go through to come out of nursing school with as little debt as possible. You don't want to be saddled with a lot of debt as a new...

  25. Nurse vs Respiratory Therapist

    Everline replied to Lost and Found's topic in General Students

    I am proud to be a nurse. But if I were to do it all over again, with a choice between the two, I'd choose respiratory therapy. Every respiratory therapist I've met is quite happy with the job and not...
