  1. Thank you letter post interview

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    jeez lady. I wasn't looking for people to call my choices "Tacky." That is completely different than what i was asking. My question wasn't if i should have written a letter through mail or one through...

  2. Cushings syndrome

    Jenni811 replied to hopefulnurse11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    i just remember it as...well you know they hang on to sodium & Water. So if they are hypernatremic, they will be hypokalemic. Sodium/Potassium work opposite of each other. This way if you get a...

  3. Thank you letter post interview

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

  4. Exact difference between comfort measures & hospice?

    Jenni811 replied to payang0722's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

  8. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Jenni811 replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was watching a co-workers 2 young girls one day for a couple hours. They have a 2 year old and a 4 year old. Since their mom is a nurse to, they like to play "nurse." I was the patient who had to...

  9. Funny things patients say !

    Jenni811 replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

  11. Do Nurses Have to Make Their Home Addresses Public?

    Jenni811 replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing boards needs your address yes, but that is so they can mail you things when they need to. They won't make it public. That is invasion of privacy. but yes...it is true a patient (or anyone)...

  14. charge nurse tried to make me go to work with allergic reaction

    Jenni811 replied to thanx2mj's topic in General Nursing

    Nursemike It still doesn't make sense to me why you would tell the doctor a patient received "a ton" of pain medicaton, because they didn't. If i got report from the previous shift and they told me "a...

  15. charge nurse tried to make me go to work with allergic reaction

    Jenni811 replied to thanx2mj's topic in General Nursing

    Again, i stated i already knew that. But its the point she exaggerated on it to make it sound worse than it was. I don't know about you but i NEVER tell the docs "She required a ton of pain meds"...

    Jenni811 replied to thanx2mj's topic in General Nursing

  17. charge nurse tried to make me go to work with allergic reaction

    Jenni811 replied to thanx2mj's topic in General Nursing

    Um...wrong!!! there is NO reason you should take "A ton" because "a ton" refers to 2,000 lbs. I dont care if your dying from a peanut allergy, there is NO doctor in there right mind that would...

  18. charge nurse tried to make me go to work with allergic reaction

    Jenni811 replied to thanx2mj's topic in General Nursing

  19. charge nurse tried to make me go to work with allergic reaction

    Jenni811 replied to thanx2mj's topic in General Nursing

    Um, i'm finding this situation a little weird. Just because you said that you don't go into shock when exposed to an allergen but yet you told HR you have a "life threatening allergy" I have a severe...

    Jenni811 replied to payang0722's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a cardiac unit and we get all the post-op cardiac patients, so LOTS of CABG. To answer your question, i would have to say it depends upon the patient and if they are symptomatic. I wouldn't...

  25. Electrical cord inside the Foley, pt from ICU

    Jenni811 replied to Asystole RN's topic in General Nursing

    Even if it was a headphone jack, wouldn't it make more sense that it listened to her urethra or bladder??? Because i don't see why a foley would be inserted into the lady
