    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry but I'm with the other person on this. I don't care if you are 20 or 80 years old. You respect me, i will respect you! Everyone deserves that...young, old,smalll,large, white,black, purple, you...

  2. Cardiac Cath Lab... What's it like??

    Jenni811 replied to Kgibson089's topic in Cardiac

    Hmmm you guys have me second guessing that application I filled out for our Cath Lab. We are a very large cardiac hospital and have both diagnostic and interventional. I've had 2 years in intermediate...

  3. Would Like Input - CABG

    Jenni811 replied to NickiJules's topic in General Nursing

    Yea this is a violation to look up patients charts. I would just stop now if I were you. Even if it is out of curiosity. Lets say I look up Joe blow on 3rd floor and my unit is 5th floor. His case...

  4. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread is getting.out of control and needs to end now. Point being I felt I was judged because I am young. Truth is I was hired because of how hard I worked, the fact I get paid half what...

  5. Would Like Input - CABG

    Jenni811 replied to NickiJules's topic in General Nursing

    Pft are not typically ordered for CABG. You did nothing wrong. It is a huge surgery and unfortunatly they don't all go as planned. Some patients everything flea beautifully and they r out of the...

    Jenni811 replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The worst orientee is one who thinks they know it all. The best orientee is one who knows what they don't

  7. Clinical Nursing Student Needs Advice 5 patients

    Jenni811 replied to Lynn52's topic in General Students

    Yes! Ill be warm and fuzzy if you or your.loved one is dying. But if you just had open heart surgery yup it sucks, and I need to be tough to get them moving to get them better. None of this fuzzy warm...

  8. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    Jenni811 replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    One time had a blind patient (both glass eyes) that I was tucking in bed for the night. I asked him "do you want me to leave the light dimmer on or do you like it completely dark?" He replies "well...

  9. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh and to add....yes I am a bit arrogant when I become defensive. And I'm defensive because people like you are assuming I got my job because of my looks. Not the fact I worked very very hard and...

  10. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No I didn't get an A in calculus. I was too busy double majoring in nursing and biology. Do you speak 3.5 languages? I say 3.5 because I'm not that great at one of them but I would be able to manage...

  11. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You tell ha to see past the wrinkles? How about you see past the young/cute nurses looks to view their depth strength and character? It goes both ways my

  12. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh dear...this has gotten ridiculous. I never once said "I am a 24 year old that knows it all." Yea I have a lot to learn but that is what is great about young/new nurses. We are eager to learn....

  13. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    THANK YOU!!! seeing my point. It isn't the nurses "looks" its about the money. Im surprised for all the "experience" you people have you don't see that all hospitals care about is $$$$$. get to know...

  14. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Heck yes it sounds ignorant. But my point of making it sound ignorant was beause the OP sounded just as ignorant as i did degrading young/new nurses. So how come an older more experienced nurse can...

  15. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you!!! If i were to make this post about old nurses saying we shouldn't be hiring them id be starting a war on here. But when "old nurses" post this about new/young nurses its totally ok. I...

  16. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wrong. We as new people need the nurses who have already been there for years. I don't need a nurse who is a new hire who has 10-20 years of experience because they are just as new as i am to that...

  17. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    it sucks, never said it didn't but its a smart business move because they are cheaper. Its kind of the same deal with ADN vs. BSN...a ADN can do the same, but more people want a BSN. Its the way it...

  19. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Trust me when i say this, when you are sick and in the hospital the last thing you care about is how your nurse looks. yes there are the few exceptions but i'm talking in general. Its all in your...

  20. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Jenni811 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think it is about looks. We too have hired alot of young, female, smaller build nurses. The turn over rate in hospital is huge, what nurse in their right mind would actually WANT to go back to...

  21. Would a night time children's center make 2nd and 3rd shift easier?

    Jenni811 replied to jordanjzz's topic in Nursing Career

    I would think that childcare at night isn't as much needed as it is during the day so mom/dad can sleep after a night shift. Unless they are both in healthcare, there is probably one at home during...

    Jenni811 replied to mclennan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  23. i need to interview an RN for my speech class?

    Jenni811 replied to aleeee's topic in General Nursing

    i would love to help you out, but the point of the assignment is to interview a nurse. You will get much more from the assignment if you do it in person. The best assignments come from YOUR words you...

  24. i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel like critical care would be more up my alley. Because, this is how i see it. Once a patient gets to a general floor like mine it usually means the patients condition is improving. Then this is...

  25. Clinical Nursing Student Needs Advice 5 patients

    Jenni811 replied to Lynn52's topic in General Students

    Depends what year you are. When i have students with me, i think one patient is enough for them. Sometimes they have a buddy system where its 2 students to one patient. Which is fine. But junior year,...
