  1. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    Everline replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've said this before and got a couple of people upset, but I can't stand when people pronounce the t in the word often. I'm not saying it's wrong, necessarily. I've seen arguments both ways. So, I...

  2. Lifestyle of a Nurse

    Everline replied to contemplations's topic in General Nursing

    As a new nurse my work life was extremely stressful every single shift, to the point that it started seeping into my time outside of work and ruining my "quality of life". Now that I'm into my second...

  3. first job at a methadone clinic

    Everline replied to Bishop043's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more with the comments above. Different nursing jobs require different skills. You will learn and get good at the ones you need for this job and when and if you move on, you will...

  4. Commuting an hour to work

    Everline replied to MiaLyse's topic in General Nursing

    I have varying commute times depending on the location I'm working, but almost all of them are at least an hour away, a couple locations being more than double that time. If my schedule has me working...

  5. How should the "I quit" conversation go?

    Everline replied to abouttimeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same situation with my first nursing job. I wrote a very simple resignation letter, which included thanking them for the opportunity and etc. But it was short and to the point with no...

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

    Someone in their twenties getting stressed out and down in the dumps about being "older"... You'll be all

    Everline replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

  8. Do you feel safe at work?

    Everline replied to Nurse4babies's topic in General Nursing

    I work for a woman's reproductive health clinic that has been targeted in the past. So, no I don't feel particularly safe. However, I don't let fear be my foremost emotion on a daily basis. I just...

  9. Working in crisis mode all the time!

    Everline replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    My first several months as a nurse were on a busy m/s floor with a 6:1 ratio and I left because I realized I could not even come close to being the nurse or person I wanted to be if I stayed. There...

  10. Leaving current job after only 5 months

    Everline replied to mlang's topic in General Nursing

    I left a job after seven months for another job more suited to me. It was one of the best things I ever did. Having said that, sign on bonuses in that amount scare

  11. Contracts?

    Everline replied to Smorra's topic in Nursing Career

    Be careful. Three years is a long time when you are miserable. Not saying you will be. You need to know what you are getting into, which is really hard to do when you are a new grad with no hospital...

  12. Facebook and employers/school

    Everline replied to daisybird27's topic in General Nursing

    I had Facebook all through nursing school and it was a way to connect with my classmates. We even had a Facebook group. I am a working nurse now and I still have my account. That being said, I am...

  13. Worst/Best thing a nursing instructor ever said to you?

    Everline replied to CryandNurseOn's topic in General Nursing

    "You see what you are doing there? Yeah. I need you to do that...only five times faster." That clinical instructor stressed me out with her constant "time management" lectures and snapping her fingers...

  14. Am I supposed to hate my first nursing job??

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

    I disliked my first job as a floor/bedside nurse. I dreaded going in every single shift and once I clocked in, my stress level was so high during almost the entire shift. I remember having this...

  15. Are You Where You Thought You'd Be?

    Everline replied to Fancychicken's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing school, when I dared to dream, I considered my current job to be my "dream job" but never in a million years thought I'd actually get said job. I applied for it straight out of school and...

  16. Do you HAVE to have your BSN?

    Everline replied to banfftank8's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    RN is not a degree. Having said that I am in the Southeastern US. I have an ASN and I had no problem finding a job. I had more than one to choose from. I do have a four year degree in another field...

  17. Is this really happening??

    Everline replied to rue2235's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have one year of experience. Start looking for a new and better job. You don't have to work under those

  18. New Nurse IV Struggles

    Everline replied to mer015's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been in my current job for a few months. I am required to start IVs often for sedation. When I first started this job I didn't have a lot of practice at it. A few months later and I have...

    Definitely go on the

  20. Nurses not taking breaks

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

    I only take breaks if forced. At my job there is no defined end time. (I don't work at a hospital.) We work until the last patient goes home and everything is counted, cleaned up, put away. So I'd...

  21. Night Shifters - Am I being too sensitive?

    Everline replied to val421's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked night shift, it bothered me how loud some of my co-workers were. The loud laughing and conversation seemed way over the top. Patients would occasionally complain and more often simply...

  22. Public health nurse job offer but will receive paycut...Opinions?

    Everline replied to EmRN14's topic in General Nursing

    I left the hospital setting for a clinic/public health job and it was the right decision for me. My mental and physical health have improved so much. I like my life again! I have not one single...

  23. Tell me why you regret about becoming a Nurse

    Everline replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't regret becoming a nurse, though my answer might have been different several months ago. That being said, if I were to go back and do things all over again, I would be a professional musician...

  25. Tattoos and Nursing

    Everline replied to Yadisanchez's topic in General Nursing

    Tattoos are everywhere. When I was a kid, back in the dinosaur days, tattoos were rare and therefore I found them interesting. Now, I see them on so many of the nurses and patients I know or encounter...
