    MS._Jen_RN replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to add my thanks too. :flowersfo Sometimes my non-nursing friends and family just don't "get it". It's nice to have a place where others understand you and your troubles:madface: ,...

    MS._Jen_RN replied to texascowgirl's topic in Nursing Career

    I work in a catholic institution. (4 yrs) I am not catholic, not christian. I have never had any problems with their policies, conduct, or care. They seek to serve under-served populations and...

  4. I freaked out

    MS._Jen_RN replied to beautifulb's topic in General Nursing

    I thought that I was the only one who HATES those things. They're loud, smelly, and hugely in the way at the most inconvienent times. May be we could lead a revolt against them.

  5. Pharmaceutical Sales?

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I might get shot down for this one, but remember, it's an opinion. I believe that Pharm Reps, the "free" merchandise they pass out, the dinners they host, the lunchs they bring to offices, and the...

  6. Lowest of the Low

    MS._Jen_RN replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Some people take time to find a place where they fit. You would not be job hopping, just finding a place where you (read- your licence)and your paitents are safe. There is an issue with a facility...

  8. How can they do that: Walmart to offer $4.00 generic prescriptions

    MS._Jen_RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because they are a huge company with lots of buying power. They can make deals with the companies who make the drugs. They say, "We'll buy X amount of Y and we'll pay you Z for it." It's such a...

  9. Blood patch

    MS._Jen_RN replied to dragonflyaltoids's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just FYI to the OP, we see them outside of OB also. For CSF leaks after epidural for any surgery, a lumbar puncture, or a surgery that opens the spinal coloum like a Laminectomy. If any of these...

  10. Anyone using 100% EMR order entry?

    MS._Jen_RN replied to IMustBeCrazy's topic in General Nursing

    It's the same as above for us. I LOVE it. As a student I had a chance to do clinicals at several facilities with different methods. The EMR was one of the reasons I work where I do. We will soon be...

  13. mis-diagnosis

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Jilaweez's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I now know what the reaction that I Had to Sulfa 10 yrs ago was. (HSP). Does anyone know if it would happen again if I took the sulfa again. I was told that I was "allergic" to it. ~Jen (NP

  14. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    MS._Jen_RN replied to TazziRN's topic in Emergency

  21. Gross Out Co-Worker

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    She obviously doen't take hints. I would just look right at her, in the eyes the next time she does it, and say, "When you talk with food in your mouth, bits spray at me and it's gross (or nasty,...

  22. Gross Out Co-Worker

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing
