Hello, Maggie, and welcome to the forum.

If the nib comes out and won't go back in then it sounds like it is tight in the nib cone.
Check this by taking the pen apart and push the refill in and out by hand. If it is stiff then make the small end of the nib cone larger .
You can do this with a drill bit. I think that it is around 2mm.
