  1. SAD: Just Wondering........

    Foxfour replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I have lived in a hot, sunny place for the last 15 yrs, and I hate it here. If it was solely up to me, I would have been living in the pacific northwest a loooong time ago. We do not get the four...

  2. Temp (Camp Nurse) in Maine

    Foxfour posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to work as a camp nurse during the summer months near Portland. The farthest point I've been in the northeast was Penn. Anybody from this area? Can you tell me about this area? I plan on...

  3. Temp (Camp Nurse) in Maine

    Foxfour replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. The things you suggested sounds like a lot of fun. The camp is located in Casco. As far as catching a ferry to one of the islands, is the boat ride in choppy waters. That...

  4. NCLEX for the 3rd time Thursday

    Foxfour replied to MackNJacks mom's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations!!!!!!!! I remember that feeling of not knowing whether I passed or not. What a horrible feeling it was. You now have so many options opened to you. Good luck to you and your...

  5. What was your most urgent emergency?

    Foxfour posted a topic in School

    School nursing for the most part is low-key. What I trying to say is their is not a lot of life-threating emergencies (at least not at my school--so far). What has been the scariest, adrenlin-like...

  6. What do you do with your summer off?

    Foxfour replied to JulzNDuane's topic in School

    I'm going to be a nurse at an all-girls summer camp. Me and my girls look forward to the trip. I always try to pick a new location, so on my days off I can take the girls and explore the area. It...

  7. Info on Suburbs outside of Houston!!

    Foxfour replied to gn04's topic in Texas Nursing

    My family lives in the Woodlands. It is a beautiful area to live in. I've been trying to get a job at the newer hospital in the Woodlands (I can't remember what the name of the hospital), but have...

  8. How many went from new grad to L&D?

    Foxfour posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was emailing a exp'd L&D nurse. I was relaying my love of L&D. When I was in nursing school, my instructors (all of them) said go to med/surg for at least a year, and then specialize in...

  9. Where is the best teaching hospital?

    Foxfour posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    Where is the best teaching hospital in Washington? Also do you know how long the orientation last? I'm looking forward to moving there someday, and I value all of the Washington nurses' opinion....

  10. I put myself in a bad situation.

    Foxfour posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    It's a long story, but I wanted to go into L&D when I graduated. Due to lack of exp, no one would hire me in that area. I ended up becoming a school nurse shortly after graduation. I tried to...

  11. 2nd degree student-What path do I take?

    Foxfour replied to jenjen22's topic in Nursing Career

    I went back to receive my BSN after I had already graduated from college. I too was considering whether to go for my ADN or BSN. The difference was 2 more full-time summer sessions, so I decided to...

    Thank you all so much for your input. I'm starting to get excited about the possibility of moving to WA again. I know with all of your help, it will

  13. Have I made a mistake?

    Foxfour replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would love the kind of orientation you had. It seems to me that since training of a nurse is so expensive to an employer, they would do everything they could to keep the retention high. For...

  14. How many went from new grad to L&D?

    Foxfour replied to Foxfour's topic in Ob/Gyn

  15. What is the L&D ratio?

    Foxfour posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's a long story, but I have always loved maternal-child but have never worked in this area. I was just wondering what is the nurse-pt ratio? How is the ratio determined? Is it determined by the...

  16. To all of you HH nurses out there

    Foxfour posted a topic in Home Health

    I was talking to a coworker yesterday. She mentioned that she's going to be opening a HH agency, and somehow the subject of me having a degree in health information management (one large aspect of...

  17. What was your most urgent emergency?

    Foxfour replied to Foxfour's topic in School

    Now, that is scary! As I'm reading your story, I remember a comment that our school administrator said. She said a school nurse's job is so easy that a monkey can do it. It would be pretty amazing...

  18. Where is the best teaching hospital?

    Foxfour replied to Foxfour's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm looked at the website for UW because according to what I'm reading from everyone, it is the best place to go in the NW area. You are right. It does seem to offer great teaching. The only thing...

  19. What was your most urgent emergency?

    Foxfour replied to Foxfour's topic in School

    Wow! You do have your hands full. I wasn't trying to upset anyone. I totally agree that we stay very busy, but what I mean by low-key is the small portion of emergencies we have as nurses compared...

  20. To all of you HH nurses out there

    Foxfour replied to Foxfour's topic in Home Health

    No, you don't sound mean at all. I thank you for your honesty. I have one more question. What is a IS

  21. It's four degrees outside!

    Foxfour replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    Today it was 72 degrees--nice but short. It April it will be in the upper 80's. In May it will be in the upper 90's to lower 100's. In the summer months it easily reaches 110 degrees :angryfire...

  22. Advice for ICU nurse to get into school nursing.

    Foxfour replied to sockov's topic in School

    I worked on the rehab floor (they called it rehab, but it was a glorifed nursing home) at a hospital. I hated every second of my job at the hospital. I can honestly say, I never regret going to work...

  23. Any NP programs that teach holistic med?

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

    I don't mind go back to school for NP, but I don't see myself, like the post above, going to become a nautropathic doctor (that's way too many yrs for me). In Prescott, Arizona they have an...

    Foxfour replied to DyeRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The computer also shut off at 75 for me as well. I remember telling my husband on our 2.5 hr drive home, as I was crying like a baby, "maybe I can be a real estate agent." I was 99% sure that I...
