   Scrub jacket to match Figs scrubs?

   K. Everly replied to rileyjw90's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I don't own any figs so I can't speak to that. But my scrub jacket is not the same brand as any of my scrubs, just the same color. I went with the jacket that would be the warmest and most comfortable and it just so happened that I didn't like the ma...

   Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

   K. Everly replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Nursing

   I show up to my shifts for my patients, not just the money. I chose nursing because I feel called to it, and I love to serve others and nurture them. I work for money and don't just volunteer because I need money to survive and I also want to enjoy m...

   Drugged

   K. Everly replied to Newt123's topic in Recovery

   I am so very sorry! Please do make a police report and get all your medical records. If this were to come back on you, you’d have a good paper trail to confirm that you did not take drugs and instead were drugged, which is just so upsetting.

   Who says Santa can't help you get a NICU job?

   K. Everly replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing

   It’s such a good market for job seekers right now that one of the girls in my new grad residency got a NICU job right out of the gate! There was only one but two wanted it.

   The Physical and Emotional Demands of Being a Burn Nurse

   K. Everly replied to MackenzieHolbrook's topic in Burn

   Wow. This sounds like one of the most emotional floors I could ever imagine working on. When you mentioned extubating a pt and seeing them be told their family member or pet died crushed me. Thank you for all you do! Brings a tear to my eye.

   Weird Question: Are All Hospital Nurses Wearing Scrub Caps Now?

   K. Everly replied to K. Everly's topic in Nursing

   LOL I gave that up after we had our badge pictures taken on day 2. My picture still turned out stupid! I feel like I'm going to see a lot less scrub caps on acute rehab that I am on other units but I'm going to wear my caps anyways. I love them....

   I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

   K. Everly replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Nursing

   Few things. 1) Context is king. A coworker, in person, approached him in the elevator and had a melt down. That is very different than someone coming onto a forum of opinionated people and expected just to simply vent and not get any actual resp...

   I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

   K. Everly replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Nursing

   You are right in a lot of this. The behavior of the coworker was unprofessional and weird at best, and baiting and retaliatory at worst. I think part of the reason you are seeing people giving the suggestions they are is because a pattern has e...

   Is my nursing instructor bullying me?

   K. Everly replied to lexieanders's topic in General Students

   Administration is FAILING in this situation. If you are a one-party consent state (meaning you don't need the other person's permission to record them) I might record her on my phone being awful to me (in a way that doesn't violate HIPAA). I believe ...

    HPRP help

    K. Everly replied to Bailey123's topic in Recovery

    I would contact a licensing defense lawyer ASAP. I found mine on the https://taana.org website. I have recommended my lawyer to a few others and we've all been pleased with her assistance even tho she is a ball buster, for lack of a more politically ...

    Any time they spent writing a list could be better spent on the grind actually DOING the things on it. Girl bye ✌

    Need advice. Stressed out!

    K. Everly replied to Salamander Suzie's topic in Nursing

    Thinking of you, Suzie. I'm so sorry for the loss of your parent as well! I'm a new grad in a residency and I was just given my permanent unit placement. We "bid" on units with openings and hoped for the best. I had been training on ortho med-s...

    I got a counseling letter because I refused to help another staff member with her personal problems?

    K. Everly replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in Nursing

    You could be right. Curious, does it take you the same amount of time to say these two phrases? “Wow, that sounds like so much stress you’re under right now. I don’t have any advice, but I’m sure you can trust your gut. I’m so sorry but I...

    I don't think I'm cut out for nursing

    K. Everly replied to mzilos's topic in Nursing

    Nursing is such a vast field. Not all of it is acute care. There is definitely a place out there for you if nursing still feels like a calling! Personally, I am headed onto an acute rehab floor (working primarily with neuro pts) as a new grad an...
