  2. Stephen King Readers Thread

    SnowShoeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    It sure is. That last line. *shudder* I had it running through my head for weeks. Annnnnd now it's back. Sigh.

  3. Stephen King Readers Thread

    SnowShoeRN replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite Stephen King book is Needful Things, but the one that really got under my skin is his short story "Survivor Type". You can find the entire text free online if you search it. If you...

  4. A little ICD-10 humor, especially for outpatient nurses

    SnowShoeRN replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I think I just woke up my fiancee 2 rooms over. Oh my God this is funny. I'm going to have to make more memes similar to OP's. Thanks for the laugh on a stressful morning.

  5. Are You Protected Against Identity Theft? - FREE Offer for Nurses

    SnowShoeRN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Done. :) I've had issues with my credit cards before and 2 of my family members have had their identities stolen. This is a great opportunity with a very reputable company.

  6. Desperately seeking FNP perceptive in St. Louis

    SnowShoeRN replied to abartt's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Are you allowed to do any of your clinicals out of town or out of state? I ended up having a 2 hour commute for my primary placement and did one of my other clinicals in another state altogether...

  7. Starting Simmons FNP, ambivalence

    SnowShoeRN replied to gospa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't know much about the Simmons program, except I know some colleagues who went there and loved it. I do know that Regis does let you spread your classes apart so I imagine it would be beneficial...

  8. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    SnowShoeRN replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I haven't read through the whole thread so apologies if this has already been mentioned. Watching Gray's Anatomy late one night this past summer and saying to myself, "Wow. You would think that the...

  9. Making the transition to night shift - new nurse

    SnowShoeRN replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Nursing

    I worked nights for about 4 or 5 years. For a very long time I was a huge night owl so it wasn't a problem for me to stay up until 3 or so. I usually hit a wall around 4, but when the floor's as busy...

  10. Denied the job of an ER nurse?

    SnowShoeRN replied to Zoe t's topic in General Nursing

    I know many nurses who have histories of cutting or other forms of self harm. I also know nurses who have been hospitalized for suicide attempts, or other mental illnesses. I think, in your case, the...

  11. Nursing student hair color change for more respect

    SnowShoeRN replied to Vonqiqi's topic in General Students

    That's your prerogative. Personally neither I, nor her patients and colleagues, had any problem with my cardiology preceptor who has 20 years of experience as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner using...

  12. Brian Short News

    SnowShoeRN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I am so saddened and sorry to have learned of Brian and his family's tragic deaths. Their family and friends will be in my

  13. How did you know?

    SnowShoeRN replied to JDT4RN's topic in General Students

    I think one of the best things about nursing is how flexible you can be going from one area to another. 12 years ago I entered nursing school completely and firmly convinced that I would be a Nurse...

  14. So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?

    SnowShoeRN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Education! After recently giving it a great deal of thought, I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely adore the education component of nursing. I remember one time being in a patient's room as...

  15. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    SnowShoeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I have learned: My body isn't cut out for nights anymore. As delicious as key lime pie is, eating it at 4am is not a good idea. I have the best partner in the entire world. Fresh...

  16. Should I be a nurse?

    SnowShoeRN replied to shouldibeanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to allnurses. I see this is your first post. For several years, we've frequently gotten questions like this from new nurses or those questioning a career in nursing (or even - unfortunately -...

  17. You know you're a CNA when...

    SnowShoeRN replied to hookyarnandblanket's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh my God, I actually did this on the door of my locker one morning after my shift. I just said to myself, "Wow...it really *has* been a long

  18. Easy/Difficult NP jobs

    SnowShoeRN replied to Fnpatlast's topic in Advanced Practice

    I was actually in a very similar position recently, but it had to do with applying to 2 jobs. Eventually I chose not to apply to the "easy" 3 hour commute job even though I had loved doing clinical...

  19. I handled this poorly. What would you do?

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

    I had something similar happen to me once. I think I was working charge that night (either that or the charge nurse was otherwise occupied for most of the night), because several female nurses and...

  20. 9 Tips For Surviving Nurse Practitioner School

    SnowShoeRN replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have both Leik's FNP review book as well as Fitzgerald's FNP books both 3rd and 4th edition. I used Fitzgerald's 3rd edition book when I was in school (right before her 4th came out) to help me...

  21. College advice for a future NP?

    SnowShoeRN replied to MaryMeg's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you are absolutely completely 100% sure that you want to be a Nurse Practitioner then I would say that it wouldn't make much sense for you to accrue a ton of debt going to a school for a...

  22. 9 Tips For Surviving Nurse Practitioner School

    SnowShoeRN replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have medscape too. I didn't know about GoodRx though. Sounds great! I will check it out. :) Here are my favorite apps that got the most mileage when I was in my program: 1. Epocrates - A fantastic...

  23. ixchel's 8/15 This Week I Have Learned...

    SnowShoeRN replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    From Codina Leik's "Family Nurse Practitioner Certification and Intensive Review" "Thallensemia Minor or Trait: A genetic disorder in which the bone marrow produces abnormal hemoglobin (defective...

  24. Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

    SnowShoeRN replied to BonnieSc's topic in Patient Medications

    I can very much appreciate this post, OP. My clinical experience was similar to that too. The instructor kinda floated around and went from student to student, while we were paired with other nurses....

  25. Important! Need answers

    SnowShoeRN replied to PCFR411's topic in Cardiac

    I don't know if the question's focus is so much geared toward "know when you, as a monitor tech, should be prepared to shock" so much as it's offering a worst-case-scenario-option (illustrating when a...
