    JomoNurse replied to missjmeRN's topic in General Nursing

  4. CPR on a person who is in rigor mortis?

    JomoNurse replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    why yes, that's it. it makes nurses look like absolute uneducated idiots when you perform CPR on a person with rigor mortis. (which means they've been dead at least for SEVERAL

  5. Is Nursing school that hard??

    JomoNurse replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    A woman in my nursing class was 55 years old. She had been a homemaker her entire life and her husband came home one day and said "Our marriage is over, I'm leaving." She had no choice but to go back...

  7. When do you think this hiring freeze will end?

    JomoNurse replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    It'll let up once nursing schools stop oversaturating the market with new grads. My nursing class was about 35 new grads. A year later, the graduating class was 150. That is absolutely ridiculous...

  8. Rude Physician - Tips for Handling

    JomoNurse replied to Ihoplover's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    you said yes sir and thank you sir after he chewed you out? he chewed you out because you probably gave off the vibe that you would tolerate that. just stick to your question and ignore anything else...

  9. Need help on blood pressure skill

    JomoNurse replied to AllieRat's topic in General Students

    cheat and look at the nanometer. yes, yes, yes, it's not fail proof and it's not the most accurate and yada yada yada. but it'll pass you for your skills checkoff, which matters the most at this...

  10. CPR on a person who is in rigor mortis?

    JomoNurse replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    I refuse to believe that an experienced nurse would perform CPR on a person with rigor mortis. I KNOW we are smarter than that. For the record, rigor mortis is one reason a paramedic can pronounced...

    What area in CA?? I live in southern California and we are still hiring new grads down here. Did you really apply to 200 positions? That seems

  12. CPR on a person who is in rigor mortis?

    JomoNurse replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse can not be held liable under any cirsumstance for not performing CPR on a patient in rigor mortis. If it's an issue of trust, grab another nurse to witness the rigor mortis. There is...

  13. Why don't employers start lowering wages for nurses?

    JomoNurse replied to hcer4507's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as a nurse, I say that's a horrible idea. But if I were on the corporate side, I just might consider lowering the wages. Most nurses can only get one type of job - and that's nursing. With the...

  14. Why can't I sleep?

    JomoNurse replied to Mary C's topic in General Nursing

    Working nights is scary. I once drove 30 minutes PAST my exit on my way home and didn't remember any of it. Several weeks ago one of my night shift friends was driving home, fell asleep at the wheel,...

  15. CPR on a person who is in rigor mortis?

    JomoNurse replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    There is no point in doing CPR on a person with rigor mortis, even if it's to "cover your butt". The guy is dead, he has rigor mortis. There is nothing to cover at that point. But... you said you're a...

  16. Dealing With the Patient in Pain

    JomoNurse replied to mbrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you have to ask yourself if the patient has a drug problem and is just chasing a high. Some drug addicted patients will say they have a 10/10 pain any time they are conscious. If the patient...

  21. nurses writing their own orders

    JomoNurse replied to elizabethaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital requires orders for just about anything. I have to call each and every time. But really, no one is going to get in trouble for writing a Nystatin order for a rash. Better watch out, the...

  22. How often do nurses have sex in the hospital?

    JomoNurse replied to curiousstudent5's topic in General Nursing

    I've found that a good chunk of ER male nurses are quite hot. The eye candy of police officers and firefighter and paramedics that stroll through the ER is quite good. But I doubt anyone is having...

  25. Trouble hearing BP sounds, help

    JomoNurse replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    Just look at the nanometer. When it starts to tick as it's deflating, that's the systolic. When it stops ticking as it's deflating, that's the diastolic. This worked like a charm every time. I...
