I think this must be added to the intake questionnaire "What color of Jello do you prefer?"

.......and to the post-hospitalization evaluation...."Did you get a sufficient amount of your preferred Jello?"

I mean what with the importance of Customer Service!

But wait a minute........would this be a HIPPA violation to post Jello preference in the chart and on the dietary record?

OCNRN63...I had been just calmly reading about the hostility that this poor young RN is expected to endure, ready to cry NETY with her... And then you post THIS??? Waaaaaaah, now there is tea all over my screen!!! :roflmao:

Unquestionably, this is bullying. I think you should report this to the BON. This could also be an attempt to use an ageist tactic to get you to quit your job; at 57y, you are probably too old to chew solid food, so your favorite flavor of jello may be the only nourishment you can take in. Someone is hoping you will keel over for lack of nutrition so s/he can slip in to your position without being noticed.

Watch. your. back. Jack.

This brings up important questions:

Is it appropriate to allow ADN nurses to distribute red jello, or should that privilege be reserved for the better educated BSNs? Overuse of red jello indicates poor use of critical thinking skills.

Should we require a certain score on the TEAS before permitting a nurse to pass red jello?

If your preceptor will not allow you to pass the red jello, it because nurses eat their young? And also that they are jealous of the younger and more beautiful new nurses.

Male nurses are more skilled at jello passing, and thus , can get jobs and be promoted at jello passing much quicker. One of my male friends is already in management over the jello fruitcup department and he just graduated two years ago. Everyone says that it is because male nurses cause less drama.

Is it true that Magnet hospitals will require at least 80% of all jello served to be red?

Shouldn't we ban red jello and place it in Hazmat suits because Ebola might be hidden in it?

Really I need all these answers IMMEDIATELY!!! I have class tomorrow morning.

But wait just another minute, since Customer Service Ratings are FAR more important than actual nursing care, perhaps we ought to toss out the rule about not giving pre-endoscopy patients red Jello prior to their procedure. Who CARES if it looks like they have lesions, ulcerations and are bleeding out every few inches, really? What REALLY matters is whether they got their danged red Jello!!!

And I say we ought to give one to roser for every one we give to the Endo patients ;)

I have one Jello question. What sadist decided root beer-flavored Jello would be appetizing and an alternative for freshman nursing students to pass? That way, they learn how to deliver the goods -- uh -- Jello, and be ready for the thrill and awesome responsibility

of passing red Jello.

Of course... the tell-tell red tongue from eating the red Jello will be a dead give-away.

Are we now giving away the dead with each portion of red Jello? Hmm....not a GREAT marketing incentive, but given some of the ridiculous stunts I've seen Administration pull, not a shocking idea, either....!

Only if their relatives permit us to declare the pt dead. But since these days, everyone is alive until the family decides that they are dead, we may not have any dead to give away with jello.
