  1. 2/20: what I learned this week: people do not understand TB

    SnowShoeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry, Ixchel. I hope everything works out. Fingers crossed for you. This week I learned: 1. I am woefully unprepared when it comes to understanding NP contract language. 2. My acute care/ICU...

  2. Any NP jobs in Las Vegas?

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

    Ooh! I just read about this:

  3. SHould I leave my r job after just 4 month?

    SnowShoeRN replied to donia_sadaf's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree that it seems like it would make more sense for you to move to AZ. And I also agree that visiting and interviewing out there to get a sense of the area, hospitals, etc is a really good idea....

  4. marriage and nursing school

    SnowShoeRN replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry. As an undergrad I saw many marriages and relationships fall apart in my program. I also had a very good friend drop out of the program because he felt his marriage was suffering and he...

  5. Initial NP licensing in non-residential state

    SnowShoeRN replied to Melvon12's topic in Advanced Practice

    I know plenty of NP's who live on the border between states and although they live in one, they work strictly in another. It's okay to have your resident state be different than the state in which...

  6. It's Contract Time!

    SnowShoeRN posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    So, for many reasons, I decided to go with job B (https://allnurses.com/advanced-practice-nursing/the-lesser-of-1034434.html) and am at the contract negotiation phase. I've never negotiated a contract...

  7. The lesser of 2 annoyances

    SnowShoeRN posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    9 months out from having graduated and I finally have 2 job offers. Although I'm very stuck in trying to decide which one to choose. The 3rd option would be to wait it out and continue looking, but...

  8. The lesser of 2 annoyances

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Many thanks once again to everyone. When all was said and done, Husband and I ultimately decided on job B as most of you suggested. Now I have to figure out how to negotiate the contract which is so...

  9. The sloppy image of nurses today

    SnowShoeRN replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just squee-ed a little bit at the term "nursling". I know it was probably originally unintentional, but it's so darn cute. A young little nurse. Nursling. I love it.

  10. The lesser of 2 annoyances

    SnowShoeRN replied to SnowShoeRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Town is about 60-90 minutes from any other small town/village and about 3 hours from largest city. We did meet a couple while there who live in the town and each half of the couple works in the...

  11. Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    SnowShoeRN replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    We didn't have ekg or tele techs at my last hospital. We didn't have LVN's either. And medical and tele weren't considered mutually exclusive. All the tele strip printing and interpreting was done by...

  12. Bulleted statements are the devil

    SnowShoeRN replied to momohime's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Before I do my bullet points, I typically have one or 2 sentences describing a very small nutshell of what I did at a job. Following that, I mention the big deal/skill things. For example, Job Title,...

  13. Red Flags for first NP interview?

    SnowShoeRN posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    So I know this question was addressed in a different thread about 8 years ago, but I wanted to get an idea of how things might be now. I'm going on my first NP interview (as a new grad) on Friday and...

  14. which apps do you use most?

    SnowShoeRN replied to princessgirl's topic in General Nursing

    The apps I use the most are Epocrates, Qx calculate, and ePSS. Could you clarify what constitutes as instruments in the question, "which types of instruments do you wish would be more compatible with...

  15. When the grass isn't greener

    SnowShoeRN replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    Eek. That sounds horrifying. Yeah, I would go back to your old place. I agree that 30-45 minutes is worth it if you love your job. In the meantime, I'd definitely get malpractice insurance if you...

  16. Accused of being impaired, fired, now told I can't practice

    SnowShoeRN replied to IsabellaRN2's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Many lawyers offer free consultations and don't require payment unless you receive some sort of settlement with the party in question. I don't know if that's the case with every single legal issue,...

  17. Do you feel ill will from doctors?

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

    It's been my experience that most of the med students I meet tend to be standoffish and better-than-thou when it comes to interacting with NP's. Whereas most of the doctors I meet, value them for...

  18. Masters in Nursing for Non-Nurses

    SnowShoeRN replied to glopez92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I assume that since you refer to clinical hours, you'd be interested in pursuing a NP track. There are many different kinds of paths with obtaining a MSN - informatics, administration, nurse educator,...

  19. Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    SnowShoeRN replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    I've been blessed with having not so many embarrassing work moments myself, but my favorite embarrassing story actually happened to a colleague of mine. She was doing an admission on an 85 year old...

  20. german nurse needs some help

    SnowShoeRN replied to Hannahse2209's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Hannah.You may not get the best response with this question on the forum. Many of us, over the years, have had students coming onto the site for the purpose of trying to get their homework done....

  21. Stephen King Readers Thread

    SnowShoeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I know books tend to be inherently better than movie adaptations, but do you think that if I've seen several Stephen King book-adaptation movies, that the scariness of the books would be dulled? Just,...

  22. Does this sound feasible?

    SnowShoeRN replied to lpnbutterfly's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with what a lot of people have already posted. It seems to me that if you want to be a PA, then getting your BAS makes sense to me. But if you want to be a NP, you're better off just going to...

  23. Stephen King Readers Thread

    SnowShoeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    He knows that they all float down here.

  24. Stephen King Readers Thread

    SnowShoeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine who is an editor, used the hyperbolic example of "Edward frowned, sadly" to describe to a friend just how terrible it

  25. Stephen King Readers Thread

    SnowShoeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I've also never read some of his better known ones. Methinks that with Halloween coming up, it would be a good idea for me to stop by the library. :) Salem's Lot might be
