    No pain meds in ER??

    Jensmom7 replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Emergency

    Actually, in Hospice we use Morphine as much for respiratory distress as we do for pain. I've given Roxanol 10mg SL every hour for respiratory distress. Usually works

    Hey, I heard Whoopie Goldberg is lobbying to get medical marijuana approved for menstrual cramps. All I ever got was a heating pad and a couple of Midol...C'mon

    How often does this happen

    Jensmom7 replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Her SO is an Internist (and I only learned this from reading her other threads). As such, it isn't his duty to discipline nurses, if they even need to be disciplined. It may be a case of the nurses...

    Would you report possible diversion?

    Unfortunately, the link doesn't play. That's why I edited my earlier post about finding the original. It gave me a sangry (sad/angry) that I couldn't share

    CNA Bonus Plan

    Jensmom7 replied to Mariesmith's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Modern thinking. Kind of like how everyone gets a trophy simply for showing up at an event, without having to participate. Sadly, it seems to be the only way to motivate some to do what really is...

    Woot!! The second grade teacher should have the kids write stories about Hammie's adventures in the big world. P.S. Anyone else here old enough to remember the "Hampster Dance" video from the late...

    The film: Vaxxed.

    Jensmom7 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I have a lot more to look through on the subject, but apparently advanced age (maternal AND paternal, and some studies place paternal age higher on the risk scale), large age span between parents, and...

    What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Jensmom7 replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Remember, this was mid 70s. Complete bed rest for back pain. Heat lamps to dry up draining wounds (Sometimes those wound beds looked like cracked desert). I cringe now thinking about how much...

    Bad at conversation

    Jensmom7 replied to Sudi93's topic in General Students

    I second the PP who said that if you had not mentioned English is not your first language, I wouldn't have thought it. It does raise a possibility. Are you from a culture where it is felt to be...

    What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    Jensmom7 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^This. I sat Boards back in the time of the dinosaurs (you should have seen the T-Rex trying to get pencil to paper. This was long before testing centers had to provide accommodations). The...

    Why Do Computers Still Seem NEWFANGLED?

    Jensmom7 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Both my parents were touch typists-Mom was a secretary/bookkeeper, Dad was a radio operator during Korea, and one of his duties was to intercept and transcribe enemy communications. They had mad...

    How much money can you make by adopting medically need children?

    Jensmom7 replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Let's face it, if you were a potential science experiment, wouldn't YOU be a little cranky?? Actually, I'm thinking the kids didn't know how to pick them up (swooping down on a hamster from above...

    Why Do Computers Still Seem NEWFANGLED?

    Jensmom7 replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    One of my friends in college (mid 70s) actually did use an abacus. She was proficient enough to be able to correctly balance her checkbook with it. I was muy impressed. I wanted to take a typing...

    Not what I expected

    Jensmom7 replied to NurseMegP's topic in General Nursing

    Is this even a possibility in today's culture? I would think that all the nurses in the OB department would be cross trained with the expectation of filling in wherever they are needed. I haven't...

    Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Jensmom7 replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    You wear flip-flops to climb a hill?? You must have AWESOME calf muscles, lol. Anyway, on topic. When I went to school, waaayyyy back in the 70s, our nursing classes (clinical and classroom) started...

    Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    Jensmom7 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You may be a hotshot facility NP, but there's a reason the Hospice evals are entrusted to the lowly Hospice RN and not you. It's because you don't know diddly-squat about LCDs, what a terminal...

    3/19 What I learned this week: more about employment laws than anything else

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    A vengeful former employer once tried to block my unemployment. It went to an adjudicator. We were on a conference call with her (by voice alone she reminded me of Judge Judy lol). I told my side,...
