Have you meet Jnette: "Goody 1 Shoe"

Introducing you to Jnette: Goody 1 Shoe


I first met this member online when I caught a glance of a propeller topped beanie and smiling pair of eyes. Thought: WOW… this woman can laugh at herself, must be a fun nursing spirit then I read her signature:

Nvr 2 Late
Change your thoughts = change your life.

Thought advice so great I’ve quoted it in my own tag line. She’s been heart and soul of the bb and welcomed thousands over the years with sage advice and laughter. Now she’s stealing my thunder as home care nurse. Enjoy our newest salute!
Karen


Community Spotlight Questions:
  • Current practice setting
Dialysis unit for 8 years. Changed gears to Home Health since March '06
  • Bio/Nursing background
Medic in USAF (seventies)
HHA, PCT, Medical Office secretary/receptionist, Certified Medical Assistant. ....Dialysis PCT x 5 yrs., while studying for RN the last 3 of those years. Dialysis RN x 3 years.
  • Most memorable nursing event:
Seeing the look on the face of one of my dialysis patients when he heard the news of a true match for his long awaited kidney transplant... after 6 long years of encouraging him not to lose hope.
  • Answer the question. Nursing is….
What you MAKE of it... for both yourself AND your patients!
  • Favorite allnurses forum:
General Nursing (sooooo educational!)

Break Room (sooooo refreshing!)
  • Allnurses members who’s advice you follow:
Leslie, Siri, Tweety, Marla, NRSKaren, Mary9, Suzanne, ..all our "seasoned nurses" !
  • Members signature or avatar that tickles your funny bone:
Far too many to count or mention! A new chuckle a day !


If I was a tree, I’d be a :
WILLOW Tree
because:
The WILLOW... gentle, flowing, and sheltering.
While she gives shelter, she does not confine. Her leaves and delicate, flexible branches are light and airy, leaving enough freedom for those she shelters to come and go.

I have been given shelter from the storm when I had needed it....

All of God's creatures are in need of shelter at some time or another.. a safe haven of rest. The WILLOW is a welcoming tree.. always there with "open arms", never harsh or restricting.Nor does she judge those who come to her.

And the WILLOW is not ashamed to weep with you.
  • Advice for bb members:
Treat the members as though they were your best friends... because they can and WILL be. Their support and input is invaluable!

Learn all you can from the many forums available. Just how much you learn is up to you... the information available is virtually endless.

Don't forget to GIVE BACK... be it learned experiences, information, or support .
Only by giving back does this well continue to pour forth its refreshing waters to give life to hopes, dreams, and even to revive those on the verge of burnout.

Live life and find reasons to love it ! Seek and ye shall find. Often you'll find those reasons in the eyes of your patients... if you care enough and dare enough to look.

Re: Have you meet Jnette: "Goody 1 Shoe"

jnette this is for you!!

I am honored to have "met" you. You are one of the first people to make me feel welcomed on this board. And, you are genuine. I can't think of anyone I know that I can truly call friend and know it is coming from your heart right back at me.

I've really enjoyed watching you develop into a most excellent Home Health patient advocate. Kudos to you!!

Hey, remember the day you posted this piccy? .. I'll tell ya - I almost swallowed my tongue seeing that. I was rolling in the floor. You are always coming up with some of the funniest piccys and sayings.

Can't wait to meet you some day. I truly mean that. You are a rare jewel and I'm very glad to honor you in the Community Spotlight.

Change your thoughts = change your life, but don't YOU ever change - stay the same - you ARE a wonderful person - you ARE a wonderful nurse.

Liebe Frau Jnette!

„Nichts groß in der Welt ist je ohne Leidenschaft vollendet worden“

So hat Herr Friedrich Hebbel gesagt. (und Ich einverstande!)

Sie sind eine mitleidsvolle Krankenschwester. Eine wunderbare Frau.
Ich bin glücklich, Sie zu haben gekannt.

Mit freundlichen grueßen,
"sniffij"


Phew! I haven't tried to speak German in years! (I'm pretty sure I murdered the grammar in some spots . (Deutsche sprache, schwere sprache, ja? )

Three Cheers for Jnette!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!

Congradulations!


PROST!!!



Now for all you folks who are wondering what the above was all about. I said:

My dear Jnette

“Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.”

So said Mr. Friedrich Hebbel (and I agree!)
You are a compassionate nurse. A wonderful woman.
I am lucky to have known you.

with kind regards,
"Sniffy"

Jnette, so much goodness and caring radiates out from your soul all across the internet. You're a special person. I've enjoyed knowing you these last couple of years. I could go on and on, but your head might get to big for your beanie.

Re: Have you meet Jnette: "Goody 1 Shoe"

G'day Jnette!
Ditto what the others wrote! Your warm spirit emanates through the computer screen every time I read your posts. A pity we couldn't have met during my visit "up/over". If you ever make it "Down Under", make sure you let me know!
Have a great day! Nay ... have a GREAT life! :-)
Cheers...........
Grace
