    Cancelled

    JentheRN05 replied to Fancy Face's topic in Agency Nurses

    My first agency job was a 'local' agency. Was working at the VA. When hired on, I had limited experience with G-tubes. It was in the application. One night I was put on the g-tube floor by myself, and...

    I'd personally love a copy, I have thought about becoming a camp nurse for a while. Haven't made the leap yet. But it would be great to have a guide. Thanks

    Funny fake names for meds

    JentheRN05 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had that as my avatar, when I first got on here. It fit me perfectly. However, the mods didn't think highly of it and made me take it

    Nurses are Pathetic!!

    JentheRN05 replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    WoW I am not here for a few days and the proverbial S@!T hits the fan. I can honestly say I felt like Lorster about 9 months out of school. Literally just like Lorster. By 1 year I was working for...

    Self inflicted

    JentheRN05 replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    Fultzy - I believe we have taken care of the same patient, except I took care of her in a hospital after a surgery removing (can't remember) how many toes! It's sad when someone cares so little about...

    Failed IV attempt

    JentheRN05 replied to Achoo!'s topic in General Students

    Idea is once you get flash advance just a smidgen then advance the catheter all the way in. Don't try to float on your first go. Floating isn't 'supposed' to be done. Not sure why, but I do it all the...

    DON job description and responsibilities

    JentheRN05 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    DON job description and responsibilities

    JentheRN05 replied to JentheRN05's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    But can you really ask for a copy of their job description before you even interview? That seems somewhat expectant of me to assume that I'm even worthy. Ya

    Anti-depressants and nursing school

    JentheRN05 replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    Been on anti-depressants for 13 years now. BUT I still was a heavy practitioner of relaxation techniques (for some deep seeded anxiety) that got me up to my junior year. THEN an instructor told me I...

    Instructor trouble

    JentheRN05 replied to Boltthrower's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have a resident I take care of who totally does NOT respect the fact that I refused a doctors order. She has her doctor (also mine) up on a pedestal and he made a mistake (ordering 4 different bp...

    Pain shots are us, not this nurse!

    JentheRN05 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I live with major pain every day. About 8/10. But for many other people it would be a strong 10/10 and hospitalization. I don't take meds for it currently, and even then you couldn't tell I was in...

    JentheRN05 replied to larsell303's topic in General Nursing
