  1. CVRN through American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine

    SnowShoeRN posted a topic in Cardiac

    Anyone have any experience with the American Board of Cardiovascular Medicine? I know their CVRN certificate is recognized by the ANCC, but I don't know much about how to test through them and I'm not...

  2. CVS Minute Clinic interview process

    SnowShoeRN replied to kobe123's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work for CVS MinuteClinic and would be happy to answer any questions you have! I love it there. Private message me for more info.

  3. New grad NP job offer- questions

    SnowShoeRN replied to AMagoo923's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hmm. Tricky. I did my program in Boston and as hard as it was for me to find a position in the city (I ended up having to move for my 1st job), I don't think I would have accepted a position with a...

  4. Future plans versus the unexpected future

    SnowShoeRN replied to BlueHearts53's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh so very constantly. And it's been wonderful. I actually found my "here-is-where-I-will-be-in-10-years" list that I made when I graduated from nursing school 11 years ago. According to that list, I...

  5. When the physician ask you to help sign schedule II drugs for him/her

    SnowShoeRN replied to Kay-teeRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't advise you from a legal standpoint, but I would personally feel very uncomfortable doing that. At my last practice, we would get drug authorization forms come in and my my supervising MD was...

  6. Info needed on Childhood obesity

    SnowShoeRN replied to Meghan2323's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Based on the federal definition of health care provider shouldn't you be interviewing MD's, DO's, PA's, NP's, CNM's, etc? If so, I'd contact pediatricians, PNP's, pediatric social workers, and...

  7. Want to start Botox injections

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

    To OP, as I'm sure you're aware there are many non-cosmetic uses for Botox as well. Don't know if this is something you might be interested in doing, but you could always consider offering...

  8. Want to start Botox injections

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

    Have you tried contacting derm or costmetic surgery practices in your area? You may be able to find a derm MD who would be willing to help you

  9. First NP job-toxic work environment vs. newbie blues

    SnowShoeRN replied to FranFNP13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Loan repayment is a good reason to stay a FQHC, but keep in mind that just because you apply doesn't mean you'll get it. I was told when I interviewed that everyone who applies, has gotten it. Well,...

  10. First NP job-toxic work environment vs. newbie blues

    SnowShoeRN replied to FranFNP13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Your job sounds uncannily like the place I just left. Right down to the insanely high turnover. After working in a similar practice for about 9 months, my biggest takeaway was that I went into it...

  11. DEA number

    SnowShoeRN replied to pmhnp35's topic in Advanced Practice

    I got mine in less than a week, but I've really heard anything between 1 to 6 weeks. :/ Sorry if that's not really helpful. I hope you get it

  12. Starting a new job while 9 weeks pregnant. How to disclose and deal with nausea at work

    SnowShoeRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi everyone! I'm hoping you can help me with a couple of things I'm dealing with. For those who are pressed for time, I have a TL;DR at the end. I recently accepted a position at MinuteClinic and will...

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

    I agree Laura. Thank

  14. Starting a new job while 9 weeks pregnant. How to disclose and deal with nausea at work

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

    I'm hoping that the nausea never progresses to vomiting! That would be awesome. And of course that it's free from complications. Thanks for your response and well wishes.

  15. Starting a new job while 9 weeks pregnant. How to disclose and deal with nausea at work

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

    Thank you! Me too! Fingers crossed.

  16. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

    SnowShoeRN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi all. I need some encouragement and sound advice. This is a longer post but, believe it or not, abridged from the first version which went into way too much detail. Anyway...Very long story...less...

  17. Starting a new job while 9 weeks pregnant. How to disclose and deal with nausea at work

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

    Great advice as usual TraumaRUs! Thank you.

  18. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Another update: Had a fantastic interview with MinuteClinic the other day, got to shadow for a few hours, and was offered the position the next day. I gladly accepted. It might not be a lifetime...

  19. Eating Their Young

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

    On the other hand, I absolutely love the following video to which I'm linking. Another poster posted it in a different thread maybe about a year ago. An experienced nurse dissects the hierarchy of...

  20. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Super long update with a TL;DR at the end. Well everyone, I thought I'd post an update. After this thread, things cooled down a lot at work. I had 1 more meeting just a few days later that was equal...

  21. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    I like this suggestion a lot. I've thought about bringing up something like this, but I'm not sure how the whole needing-to-give-three-months-notice fits in. I think I'll bring up your ideas with my...

  22. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Yeah. It's BS. One of their big criticisms is that the questions I ask are too simple for someone who has been there as long as I have and that I should know the answers. I was even told that it's not...

  23. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Thanks Been there, done that. No cognitive issues. Just pure difficult-to-ambulate-for-too-long injuries which my doctors have suggested I address by working part time for now. I think it is entirely...

  24. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Thanks for your response. We have a 6 month probation period that ended up getting extended since I was out. I'm in the process of trying to figure out if the 3-months notice that is mentioned in my...

  25. On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

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

    Thank you for your response. I did actually ask her a few meetings ago what was different - what had chanaged. And she essentially told me these issues had been there from the beginning. I then asked...
