   GENJEN replied to PrincessAlexis's topic in General Nursing

   The forces beyond somebody's control made me drop a cannister full of post 100% of grain alcohol and pizza drunken person out of my hands. Solution went up my legs, on shoes. This was many years ago. All I could do was scream. So glad it was at the e...

4. What's wrong with me?

   GENJEN replied to New Horizon's topic in General Students

   I would tell my students to read the question completely before answering. Try and answer the question before looking at the answers given. My saying to them was, "know what it is so you will know what it ain't". I also had a few students that I made...

6. Irrational patients

   GENJEN replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in Relations

   Sometimes just saying it out loud helps. Frustrations of the day will always be there, but just saying it out loud really helps. I found that when speaking frustrations out loud to be careful where you say them. Don't be in a crowd and let the other ...

   GENJEN replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in Relations

   We must have gone to the same school and I am very thankful for that. This is how I became a good detective as well before I medicate.

8. "Your job is to make me happy"

   GENJEN replied to Nurse216's topic in Relations

   I think I would have asked, "what does that mean"? In my 30 plus years of health care, I had a patient that comes to mind say, "you don't like me". I always had a pleasant look on my face and but never one of discontent. Well I said that I wasn't get...

9. A Nurse's Hands

   GENJEN replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks so much for sharing. I too have been retired for two years and it's funny because I was looking at my hands the other day and smiled. Nursing was my profession at home and in the work place. Oh if my hands could talk. Now my youngest grand say...

10. Should I continue to work as PCT to increase chances of getting RN job when I graduate?

    GENJEN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nurse Beth

    Please keep your job. You may need to go PRN. I may be the only one but your age may not be a hindrance as you think. The reason I say that is "work ethics". Ask yourself, "what are my work ethics"? In the past, I have told student's that it may not ...

11. I have an Unhelpful instructor

    GENJEN replied to stephey's topic in General Students

    As an "old" instructor, I believe as well the problem is the "learning on your own" is what some have problem with. Not all instructors teach the same and as well there are some instructors that don't use power-points and such. Some may use "all" thi...

12. The Puberty Talk

    GENJEN replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    New School Nurse. The index cards are really great to use. Making sure that whom ever is teaching or presenting that you both are saying the same thing basically. The state that you may be in, the school board sometimes have a say in what you can say...

    GENJEN replied to GlamglamNurse's topic in NCLEX

    Congrats to you. Being a retired PN instructor, I always told students that there are 205 questions on the NCLEX. There were some instructors that would tell students that if computer shut off at 85 they probably passed. That can be further from the ...

14. Tips for Being a Good Patient

    GENJEN replied to keepitsecret's topic in Relations

    I understand what you are saying about being a "good" patient. When I was in the hospital for major surgery that happened to be the same place that I had taken student's in the past, that was extra for me. There were some nurse's still there that kne...

    GENJEN replied to NoWomanNoCry's topic in LPN/LVN

    . Nurses who have worked for any length of time will tell you that you will have to learn how to take care of yourself. I have Sciatica problems but going to chiropractor and having deep therapy help me and he also told me how to help myself. Go to s...
