    SnowShoeRN replied to vhern246's topic in Nursing Humor

    Almost everytime I see a stranger stumble or fall down on public transportation I think to myself, "Oh my God! Is he on heparin?! What's his INR?"

    SnowShoeRN replied to sethmctenn's topic in Nursing Humor

  4. Non-Union Boston Hospitals?

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow. I knew the non-union number was small, but I didn't know it was that small. I seem to recall hearing that Children's was non-union too, but that's sort of a moot point since I'm not interested in...

  10. How to explain absences & looking for a career coach

    SnowShoeRN replied to NCindasun21's topic in Nursing Career

  11. Nursing in Australia: Durable Power of Attorney?

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the advice everyone! I've already looked at a bunch of different websites for hospitals in the Sydney/Illawarra area and realize that the process is a lot easier than I was originally led...

  12. Nursing in Australia: Durable Power of Attorney?

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. In the states I certainly wouldn't give POA to anyone, but I didn't know if I meant something different in Australia. As far as licensing is concerned, I think her reasoning...

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  16. Old New Nurse W/ An Attitude

    SnowShoeRN replied to OncNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously it's your own call, but as for the above comment, I agree completely. As someone who has needed to be told to stop acting like a jerk (and as someone who was totally unaware I was doing it),...

  17. Job-less in Boston. Please Help!

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    That's a really good idea. I actually don't know too much about community health centers. Are they like Dr.'s offices? How would I find out about one in particular? (Or about any?:)) Can you...
