2. New grad NP job offer- questions

   SnowShoeRN replied to AMagoo923's topic in NP

   Hmm. Tricky. I did my program in Boston and as hard as it was for me to find a position in the city (I ended up having to move for my 1st job), I don't think I would have accepted a position with a new practice that wasn't also heavy on the orientati...

3. Future plans versus the unexpected future

   SnowShoeRN replied to BlueHearts53's topic in New Nurse

   Oh so very constantly. And it's been wonderful. I actually found my "here-is-where-I-will-be-in-10-years" list that I made when I graduated from nursing school 11 years ago. According to that list, I was going to get a ton of experience in ER nursing...

4. When the physician ask you to help sign schedule II drugs for him/her

   SnowShoeRN replied to Kay-teeRN's topic in NP

   I can't advise you from a legal standpoint, but I would personally feel very uncomfortable doing that. At my last practice, we would get drug authorization forms come in and my my supervising MD was adamantly AGAINST us signing for each other. She wa...

5. Info needed on Childhood obesity

   SnowShoeRN replied to Meghan2323's topic in Student Assist

   Based on the federal definition of health care provider shouldn't you be interviewing MD's, DO's, PA's, NP's, CNM's, etc? If so, I'd contact pediatricians, PNP's, pediatric social workers, and pediatric psychologists in your area. Not that RN's opini...

6. Want to start Botox injections

   SnowShoeRN replied to EmmyLouFNP's topic in NP

   To OP, as I'm sure you're aware there are many non-cosmetic uses for Botox as well. Don't know if this is something you might be interested in doing, but you could always consider offering non-cosmetic services as well. Best of luck. :) An evidence-b...

   Have you tried contacting derm or costmetic surgery practices in your area? You may be able to find a derm MD who would be willing to help you out...

8. Why Bother Studying Workplace Bullying?

   SnowShoeRN replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

   I certainly think there is a place for your work, but I think that you need to be very careful with how your define certain things. While the behaviors that one typically encounters with lateral violence (gossiping, intimidation, gas lighting, whatev...

9. First NP job-toxic work environment vs. newbie blues

   SnowShoeRN replied to FranFNP13's topic in NP

   Loan repayment is a good reason to stay a FQHC, but keep in mind that just because you apply doesn't mean you'll get it. I was told when I interviewed that everyone who applies, has gotten it. Well, after doing a little more research I found out that...

10. First NP job-toxic work environment vs. newbie blues

    SnowShoeRN replied to FranFNP13's topic in NP

    Your job sounds uncannily like the place I just left. Right down to the insanely high turnover. After working in a similar practice for about 9 months, my biggest takeaway was that I went into it without asking the right questions and meeting the ri...

11. Maternity Question: Seizures

    SnowShoeRN replied to mntn's topic in General Nursing

    Are you asking this looking for medical advice? Homework assignment? What's the context of the question? What's the patient's seizure history? Circumstances of the birth? Medication involved? Duration? Patient's history? etc? I would need more inform...

12. DEA number

    SnowShoeRN replied to pmhnp35's topic in Advanced

    I got mine in less than a week, but I've really heard anything between 1 to 6 weeks. :/ Sorry if that's not really helpful. I hope you get it soon.

14. Starting a new job while 9 weeks pregnant. How to disclose and deal with nausea at work

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in NP

    I'm hoping that the nausea never progresses to vomiting! That would be awesome. And of course that it's free from complications. Thanks for your response and well wishes. :)
