  2. Are you supposed to check a boy's foreskin during a physical?

    SnowShoeRN replied to SydneyKidney's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where does she say she does it "fast and without warning?" I would never retract the foreskin fast and without warning. And I would never NOT tell the patient what I was doing and then allofasudden...

  4. Are you supposed to check a boy's foreskin during a physical?

    SnowShoeRN replied to SydneyKidney's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is exactly what I do. The MD's and Do's in my practice do the same. I'll have to mention the AAP to them and get their

  6. 10 Things to NEVER Say to a Nurse

    SnowShoeRN replied to mosaicism105's topic in General Nursing

    It still boggles my mind that there are seriously people out there who would *rather* SOMEONE ELSE wipe their butts when they are fully capable of doing it themselves...I mean...I prefer wiping my own...

  7. Gender, a fluid social construct

    SnowShoeRN replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Gender *is* a fluid social construct. Sex refers to someone's biological status.

  8. Patient hygiene

    SnowShoeRN replied to Wondersnevercease's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. I'll even kick it up a notch and explain how UTI's can turn into kidney infections which are life threatening yadda yadda etc and sometimes I'll resort to showing them pictures of horrible yeast...

  9. RN new Grads

    SnowShoeRN replied to Ramekhod's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad you've been so open minded to the opportunities presented to you. So many new nurses are too picky when it comes to getting the perfect job. But having all these experiences makes you well...

    SnowShoeRN replied to hdhnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I just responded to your other thread in the APRN forum.

  11. Cardiac Nurse Practitioners

    SnowShoeRN replied to MeechiesRNBSN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wanted to become a cardiac NP and had a fantastic cards placement as a grad student, but was told by my preceptor that she didn't know any FNP's who were cardiac NP's. All the NP's at the placement...

  12. Why did you pick your NP Program?

    SnowShoeRN replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Able to get to via public transportation, good reputation in the community, rolling admission, didn't require GRE, knew several colleagues who had gone through it. It was a good program, but sometimes...

  13. Nursing Experience FNP

    SnowShoeRN replied to hdhnurse's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was recently told, by a few others who I work with, that I was chosen from other candidates because I had prior nursing experience. My facility has had bad experiences with FNP's who didn't have any...

  14. Good questions to ask my preceptor before orientation is over (cardiac stepdown unit)

    SnowShoeRN replied to boston.nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not really sure how to advise you. I don't know what you know and what you don't know. There are plenty of great things I learned working on a cardiac floor and more working with a cardiac NP...

  15. How do nurse shifts work?

    SnowShoeRN replied to katylady22's topic in General Nursing

    "...how the shifts work in the nursing field?" That depends upon where you work and what type of nursing you do. Some hospitals have both 8 hour and 12 hour shifts available. Some places hire for set...

  18. Would a person like me have a chance to finish the nursing program?

    SnowShoeRN replied to lyudmila777's topic in General Students

    The vast majority of people on this site (myself included) aren't just going to tell you "you can do it!" and verbally pat you on the back. Not because we don't think you can do it, but because - as...

  19. Nursing School Blues

    SnowShoeRN replied to B-I-J-O-U-X's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. Nursing is unlike any other major. We have our trials and triumphs that other people can't really understand and you do need to possess a certain level of...

  20. DEA

    SnowShoeRN replied to goatmicp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I literally applied on a Friday morning and had a number by the following Monday afternoon. Then again, I heard that during busy times it can take a couple of weeks. And I was able to get it online (I...

  21. Meaning of your username?

    SnowShoeRN replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    When I joined AN - right after I finished nursing school - I lived in an area of the country that got a ridiculous amount of snow from October to March every year. I loved to go romp around hiking and...

    SnowShoeRN replied to gcoffin92's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    NICU's are understaffed? That's news to me. Everywhere I've worked people have been banging down the door to try to get into the NICU. I've never encountered one with understaffing. I suppose that...

    SnowShoeRN replied to Lilychache's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
