  1. Is it wrong to leave a job during orientation?

    Everline replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    Orientation is the time to leave if you see it's not going to

  2. IM injections- to aspirate or not?

    Everline replied to dah512's topic in General Nursing

    I give a lot of IM injections. I do not aspirate. I try to give injections as quickly as

  3. Is this normal??!?!

    Everline replied to Gemini616's topic in General Nursing

    Yes.

  4. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    Everline replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to a certain extent. I hated clinicals in nursing school and my first nursing job in a hospital really made me miserable and drove me to drink. I wish I was kidding. I hung in there about...

  5. Anybody else feel this way?

    Everline replied to Rocketskates's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, I get it. Since I have a BA in another field and didn't want the expense of another one, I applied to graduate school. To my suprise, I got accepted. Then just before class was about to start, I...

  6. RN, ADN being obsolete

    Everline replied to lovewaves's topic in General Students

    Oh, how people warned me that I would not be able to get a hospital job with an ASN. Put me in a bit of a panic. Turns out I had no problem getting a job. Not when I first graduated, nor any time...

  7. RN's are you happy with your career, why or why not?

    Everline replied to anjoku13's topic in General Nursing

    I am proud and happy to be a nurse. However, I questioned my career choice nearly every day of my first year of nursing. To say I was miserable was an understatement. But something kept me hanging on....

  8. Qualities for a nurse in public health

    Everline replied to J-lynn's topic in Public, Community Health

    I am a public health nurse who does direct patient care every single day. I have to chart, of course but I don't have an abundance of paperwork and there is not much that I do that could be called...

  9. Are nurses and doctors equal?

    Everline replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    As has been posted, I am not subordinate to any doctor. I am subordinate to my nurse manager. In addition, doctors don't order me to do anything. They write orders for the care of a patient and I may...

  10. So TIRED OF IT

    Everline replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I left hospital bedside nursing quite quickly, in part, because of the customer service mentality that I believe actually harms patients in the long run. I have not looked back or regretted leaving...

  11. Finally done with the worst two years of my life

    Everline replied to DeeninNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't sacrifice myself to make other people's lives better. I go to work, do what I was hired to do and collect a paycheck twice a month. It is not a selfless profession for me. That being said, if...

  12. New Grad Orientation Contracts

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

    Thank goodness I never signed one of these contracts. They are an absolute outrage, IMO. I have no sympathy for hospitals with high turnover rates who resort to trying to force new grads to stay when...

  13. I miss The Commuter!

    Everline replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Loved her posts and hope all is well with her and that she will come back here one day and post

  14. So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    Everline replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I am employed by the state in a public health job. So I would just laugh heartily if anyone ever told me that. That being said, when compared to the salary of my non-nursing co-workers, I make a...

  15. I'm so lost :(

    Everline replied to JenMH88RN's topic in General Students

    My honest advice: Concentrate on your first year as a med-surg nurse and think about what you will do next later on. The first year of nursing can be very challenging. In addition, as you work you...

  16. Does anyone ever get tired of people thinking Nursing is easy?

    Everline replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    I've actually experienced the opposite more. That is, people think that because I am the nurse, I know everything and when the crap hits the fan I am the one they look to for help. They look up to me...

  17. Did you take a risk?

    Everline replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I took a risk in the first year of my career. Less than a year as a hospital bedside nurse and I knew it was not for me. Everyone told me to stay, that it would get better and that I would have a hard...

  18. Labor as a spring board to acute care?

    Everline replied to jcol1460's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I don't get it. What do you consider L&D because I have always considered it acute care. Can't imagine how it wouldn't be considered as

  19. Help! Thinking about changing field and from 12's to 8's

    Everline replied to LornasaurusRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I changed from 12s to 8s. I have no weekends, night or holidays, though. I do like it. I thought it would be a hard adjustment but it

  20. Public Health Nurses, how are things going?

    Everline posted a topic in Public, Community Health

    This forum does not seem to have a lot of traffic, so I'm curious as to whether this topic will receive any replies. I'm simply interested in sparking conversation among public health/community health...

  21. Public Health Nurses, how are things going?

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

    Sometimes when I pass through the immunizations waiting area at our health department I hear some of the conversations people are having about vaccines and it can make me sad and frustrated. I've...

  22. Public Health Nurses, how are things going?

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

    I like what you wrote here about paying off in future generations to come. I agree with you that this is something I think is so important and we need to keep in mind. A lot of what people go through...

  23. Castlebanch drug testing facility

    Everline replied to beardeddragon123's topic in General Students

    This year. I should add, however, that I had to empty my pockets and lock up all of my belongings. I could not flush the toilet or wash my hands before submitting the

  24. Castlebanch drug testing facility

    Everline replied to beardeddragon123's topic in General Students

    In my case, it was not supervised. That is to say, I was told I had 4 minutes in the bathroom to pee in a cup. I was alone in the bathroom. Not sure if that is what you are

  25. Why Do You Love Being A Prison Nurse?

    Everline posted a topic in Correctional

    There's not too much posting on this forum and I'd like to see if we can get a new positive thread going on why you love being a correctional nurse. I'm sure there are topics like this in the past,...
