  1. What does your nursing career repair bill say about you?

    Everline replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    If I could speak to my pre-nursing self, I say: Don't look around at what others are doing and compare yourself to them. Don't listen to others when they say you should or must do a specific type of...

  2. The senior nurse is keep saying hurry up

    Everline replied to Seong40's topic in General Nursing

    My clinical instructor told me this often when I was in the last year of nursing school. It made me upset because I was just learning. Then I became a nurse and I understood what she was on about. My...

  3. offer letter

    Everline replied to shirl_1's topic in Correctional

    Congrats! Enjoy your new

  4. Not getting interviews :(

    Everline replied to em3120's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Seven application is not a lot. That being said, you may have more response once you've actually graduated. Where I lived/graduated no one would consider us until we'd passed the NCLEX, therefore none...

  5. Magnet vs. Closer to home

    Everline replied to pleasenocdif's topic in General Nursing

    That makes sense. But then, that's not all things being equal, as something in the more distant hospital suits you better. The commute was worth it to you. I'd do the same if there was a compelling...

  6. offer letter

    Everline replied to shirl_1's topic in Correctional

    Whenever I've been given a verbal offer (before the written one), the salary has always been disclosed at that time. (I've even had recruiters tell me the salary/wages before the interview.) Were you...

  7. Magnet vs. Closer to home

    Everline replied to pleasenocdif's topic in General Nursing

    If I were considering the same options, whether a hospital was "magnet" or not would have absolutely no bearing on my decision, as I couldn't give a rat's bottom about it and have no reason to care,...

  8. offer letter

    Everline replied to shirl_1's topic in Correctional

    It's okay to think of money when it comes to employment. I am quite sure the interviewer understands that no one is working for free and that money is a consideration for nearly any adult seeking...

  9. RN shortage

    Everline replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on where and in what specialty. I graduated in 2014 and we all found jobs fairly quickly. Most of my classmates work in a hospital. I have never had a problem with employment, but I...

  10. Disapointed with nursing...

    Everline replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand where you are coming from. It's one reason I'm not a hospital floor nurse anymore. There are many types of nurses and many different nursing practice environments. Find one that fits...

  11. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    Everline replied to NurseLife88's topic in General Nursing

    Recently, I was pulled over for speeding for the first time in my driving life. The police officer asked me where I was coming from. I told him where I worked and that I was a nurse. (I was also in...

  12. How do you feel about being a nurse?

    Everline replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if I would say I regret it. I am proud to be a nurse. However, if I had to do it all over again, I would choose physical therapy or occupational therapy...something else in healthcare....

  13. Is it safe going into RT?

    Everline replied to navywife16's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of respiratory therapists being phased out. Of, course that doesn't mean it's not happening. One thing I will say is that the respiratory therapists I know have told me they love...

  14. Going out with your co-workers (Mixing Business with pleasure)

    Everline replied to Plumrose15153's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've found that it depends on the workplace. I am not usually a person to go out with coworkers, but at my last job it was the thing to do. Everyone was in each other's personal business and talked...

  15. Finally Leaving Nursing...For Good!

    Everline replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I must say I am happy for you. Just two years into this profession and I can agree with much of what you said, which is pretty sad. I think you are brave to move on and I wish you the absolute best in...

  16. Mentor quits meeting

    Everline replied to mcnurse88's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly? If a mentor cancelled several meetings with me, I'd take it as a not-so-subtle hint and move on. I'd figure that she either doesn't want to mentor anymore or she has something else going on...

  17. Being Managed By Someone Younger

    Everline replied to Apple-Core's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm generally older than my supervisors since I became a nurse later in life. As long as there is basic respect between us, it is a non issue. The only time it really hit me—and I actually said...

  18. Why are nurse managers jerks?

    Everline replied to Cola89's topic in Nurse Management

    The nurse managers/supervisors I've had in my short career have been pretty decent, I must say. I have met a couple of real jerky charge nurses who liked to make other people feel like garbage (at...

  19. And so the day did finally come...

    Everline replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    Not soon enough, but better than

  20. New Grad Struggling

    Everline replied to hrahrmh's topic in General Nursing

    There is no shame in leaving a profession that you don't like AND that requires you to medicate yourself to get through. I understand that you worked hard for your degree and it isn't so easy to just...

  21. The Lamentations of a Distressed RN (New Grad)

    Everline replied to deebee20's topic in General Nursing

    Florida is a big state. I left one part of Florida for another when I first graduated. It's something to consider. But, as a new grad, you will probably not find many sign on bonuses in this state....

  22. Community College RN job market?

    Everline replied to jesswayhart's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have an ASN and have had no problems finding employment whatsoever. I don't live in a rural area. Apparently, however, it all highly depends on your

  23. Should I quit nursing school?

    Everline replied to Guest1005095's topic in General Students

    You've already made your decision to leave nursing school and I wish you the best. I hated clinical rotations, too, when I was in school. I had a couple of really tough instructors and I dreaded...

  24. What was the REAL reason you called off

    Everline replied to Orion81RN's topic in General Nursing

    I hardly ever call out sick unless I am ACTUALLY too sick to crawl into work, which rarely happens. I can usually crawl when I'm sick. Last time I called in sick was when I found myself pondering...

  25. Is nursing school as bad as they say?

    Everline replied to sarahelaine08's topic in General Students

    I graduated from nursing school over two years ago. Looking back...yup, it was bad. In addition to the workload, I found it to be emotionally taxing as well. I was stressed out almost the whole time....
