Exclude menu item from the collapse of bootstrap 3 navbar
HtmlCssTwitter BootstrapTwitter Bootstrap-3Html Problem Overview
Here's what I have, I've tried moving around my section inside the "brand" and do a pull-right, outside the brand and outside the collapse and do a pull-left/right, while also trying to place it before or after the collapse section.
When adding it to the brand section it works, but it goes down to a new line. How do I keep it on the same line?

Below is an example that shows how to have just about any kind of 'vanilla bootstrap' NAVBAR configuration you could want. It includes a site title, both collapsing and non-collapsing menu items aligned left or right, and static text. Be sure to read the comments to get a fuller understanding of what you can change. Enjoy!

Solution 2 - Html
You should be able to use pull-left and pull-right in 2 nav-header's to prevent the link from collapsing.
See: http://bootply.com/104747
<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-inverse" role="navigation">
<div class="container">
<div class="navbar-header pull-left">
<div class="navbar-brand">Brand</div>
</div>
<!-- I don't want it apart of the collapsible portion -->
<div class="navbar-header pull-right">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav pull-left">
<li class="active"><a href="">No Collapse</a> </li>
</ul>
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-right">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="dropdown">
<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Profile <b class="caret"></b></a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li>Change Password</li>
<li>Update Profile Info</li>
<li>Log Off</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>

Here is my other answer in Jade with some template logic just for fun :). See the other answer for additional info.
//- NOTE: 'navbar-default' styles the 'burger' and navbar text color, so remove it to add your own
nav(class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top", role="navigation")
.container
//- Title
.navbar-header.pull-left
a.navbar-brand(href='javascript:window.location.replace(window.location.origin);') GNOMIS
//- 'Sticky' (non-collapsing) right-side menu item(s)
.navbar-header.pull-right
ul.nav.pull-left
//- This works well for static text, maybe some initials
li.navbar-text.pull-left User Name
//- User Icon drop-down menu
li.dropdown.pull-right
a.dropdown-toggle(href='#', data-toggle='dropdown', style="color:#777; margin-top: 5px;")
span.glyphicon.glyphicon-user
b.caret
ul.dropdown-menu
li
a(href="/users/id", title="Profile")
| Profile
li
a(href="/logout", title="Logout")
| Logout
//- Required bootstrap placeholder for the collapsed menu
button.navbar-toggle(type='button', data-toggle='collapse', data-target='.navbar-collapse')
span.sr-only Toggle navigation
span.icon-bar
span.icon-bar
span.icon-bar
//- The Collapsing items navbar-left or navbar-right
.collapse.navbar-collapse.navbar-left
//- pull-right keeps the drop-down in line
ul.nav.navbar-nav.pull-right
li
a(href="/news") News
li
a(href="/shop") Shop
//- Additional navbar items
.collapse.navbar-collapse.navbar-right
//- pull-right keeps the drop-down in line
ul.nav.navbar-nav.pull-right
li
a(href="/locator") Locator
li
a(href="/extras") Extras
