So a recent thread got me thinking (which is never a good thing) It appears we have number of Stephen King Readers. I suggest we do a nursing DX for our favorite King Character!

BTW if you liked The Shining (Book not movie) you are going to love Dr. Sleep

Hppy

John Coffey is my fave, nursing diagnosis is grieving.

Come on you can do better than that - "Alteration in coping as evidenced by................"

A bunch of people in The Tommyknockers - "Altered sexual function as evidenced by replacement of normal genital tissues with tentacles."

...Too much? I can think of an altered bowel function one for a bunch of people in Dreamcatcher, too.

Dr. Sleep is the sequel to The Shining. It was really really good.

I loved it because it answered all the questions left hanging by the Shining

Stephen King is one of my favourite authors. I've read his books for 30 years. I remember watching The Shining as a young kid and I find it still disturbing. Most of the movies don't do his work justice but his writing is great.

just finished Finders Keepers (the next follow up to Mr Mercedes - which was incredible) i loved it - I can't wait for the third part of the trilogy. I couldn't put it down!

Good, I was looking for a legit source on whether this was worth it. LOVED Mr. Mercedes. I will get Finders Keepers.

I love Uncle Stevie!! (he used to write a column in Entertainment Weekly in which he referred to himself as Uncle Stevie- I'm not related to him!!). I also enjoy how he calls his dog "Molly- aka the thing of evil" whenever he posts about her on Facebook.

No nursing diagnoses here, I don't like to mix work and pleasure.

P.S. He is giving a a book talk at my daughter's college so she is going to go see him.

This may be silly, but I think it's great how his hometown is protective of him. I know someone from there and if random fans show up asking about him everyone plays dumb.

Thanks for the review on Finders Keepers. Hadn't read that one but I will get on the wait list at the library.

All hometowns protect their celebs.

Mine does.

I read Revival this summer. It was meh.

I loved nearly all his classics, though I started reading him way too young. I read The Shining for the first time when I was 11 or 12, didn't sleep for several days and I'm still anxious around clowns. I bought a pair of boots last year that I absolutely love and refer to them as my "walking man" boots.

I'll be interested to watch a remake of The Stand if Matthew McConaughey is RF.
