  1. What's it like having a flexible work schedule?

    SnowShoeRN replied to LucidDreamer's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really just depends on the facility/management. I've worked 2 places where the OT flowed freely and another place where it was impossible to get. Depends on the part of the country

  2. Worried about my google search

    SnowShoeRN replied to RNHS's topic in General Nursing

    THIS for sure. But I would also still contact a lawyer just to see where you stand. At my last interview one of the interviewers brought up something that had happened to me this past summer. I was...

  3. I want to be a nurse!!

    SnowShoeRN replied to LucidDreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I 2nd this. I was older than you, but before I went to nursing school I became an EMT and also worked at an emergency call center. I also spent a few summers volunteering for music festival's medical...

  4. Failed AANP what Next?

    SnowShoeRN replied to Jackzoloe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I do think you need to know where you went wrong. And AANP will send you a form explaining the deficit areas. Also, a previous poster said that you really need to understand the content and I agree...

  5. I want a new word.

    SnowShoeRN replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    I'm costantly combining words so my first thought was "Nob" which made me laugh. But, while funny, probably isn't a title any of us would prouldy

  6. New job OFFER! help!!

    SnowShoeRN replied to OCRN3's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My vote is for Clinic 2. It just sounds like a much better deal all around. Plus FQHC means you can apply for loan

  7. Good Contract Terms?

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

    I too am new at this whole working-as-a-NP-thing, but I think I'd be a little leery of the fact that they don't have the number of hours down. I get that it would vary depending on staffing and...

  8. New Grad RN - Needing tips on how to be a better RN!

    SnowShoeRN replied to X5ISH's topic in General Nursing

    Always be open, respectful, and humble to everyone you meet. Recognize your strengths, but also acknowledge and know your limitations. Believing that you are better than someone can be a huge...

  9. I need help with SOAP Please

    SnowShoeRN replied to kwlkitty522's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would advise you to refrain from coming onto this site with a bunch of homework questions. You won't get a good response unless you give us some insight into your own thoughts and conclusions and...

  10. made MD angry, and resources on unit

    SnowShoeRN replied to keepingalive's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you're that concerned about the safety situation, why not go to your nursing supervisor or manager and have a talk with them? You don't have to be all like "so-and-so is terrible and super...

  11. made MD angry, and resources on unit

    SnowShoeRN replied to keepingalive's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We had a nurse educator on our unit, but she was seldom available during the night shift when I worked. Other resources included our charge nurse, nursing supervisor, and other floor nurses. I would...

  12. The Puberty Talk

    SnowShoeRN replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    Anyone else reminded of the Fuzzy and Fluffy Bunny Sex-Ed video? Or am I the only one who is that much of a die-hard Simpsons

  13. 0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    SnowShoeRN replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not everyone has the experience of being yelled at or belittled in their childhood and so it can come as quite a shock when they start working and there is it. Sadly, there are rude people everywhere....

  14. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    SnowShoeRN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I've said stuff like "Oh I was reading this thread on All Nurses", "I'm a member of this nursing forum", or "Well, there was some good insight on this nursing thread I read..." But no one...

  15. 2/27 What I learned this week: crying on the job feels so much better when they're happy t

    SnowShoeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that somewhere along my growing up I was taught to rock the boat and question the status quo. It bothers a lot of people and has gotten me in trouble more than once, despite my politeness,...

  16. Foreign Nurse to MA HEEELP!

    SnowShoeRN replied to lopezgRN's topic in International Nursing

    As a Boston resident I'm going to chime in here and second the idea that it's hard to find a RN position in Boston if you aren't already connected. The only RN's I know who manage to find Boston...

  17. Accepting Responsibility (to or not to)

    SnowShoeRN replied to srercg's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think you may be missing the point of the question. The question isn't designed or written to mean "Is your student comfortable being a scapegoat for other people's mistakes?" Its meant to ask if...

  18. 0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    SnowShoeRN replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    But the doctor was called, right? You mentioned that the nurse called him and documeted it. Unless I'm missing something. And what is the rock and hard place you're being put between? And many members...

  19. 0200 BP's - Dealing with Tired Rude Doctors

    SnowShoeRN replied to Jennifer in Cali's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In your post you ask 2 questions. At least a half a dozen people have answered them and some people also offered what they would have done differently in order to help you prevent a similar situation...

  20. Case study guidance

    SnowShoeRN replied to seniornursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I think that by and large you're doing pretty well. Normally it irritates me when students post, but you're showing quite a bit of critical thinking and I appreciate your thinking beforehand and...

  21. Partnerships will advance personalized medicine

    SnowShoeRN replied to yhl1975's topic in Advanced Practice

    While the idea of needing only a miniscule amount of blood or saliva to run tests is certainly appealing and most probably something we will see in the next few decades, Theranos still has a long way...

  22. 3 Year Contract?

    SnowShoeRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all. :) Just wondering, how long is your current contract? Or, what's the average contract length that you've seen? Talking to other NP friends, it seems to be 1-2 years. I've accepted a job with...

  23. 3 Year Contract?

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

    Thank you for the advice. What do you think is standard? 1 year? Most of my colleagues have 1-yr's, but I know a few with

  24. 3 Year Contract?

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

    It's a non-profit FQHC and they haven't been willing to negotiate on salary or sick time. If they don't negotiate on length of employment do you think I should run? I want to take this job, and we're...

  25. Any NP jobs in Las Vegas?

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

    Hmm...did you try private messaging
