    How do people feel about male nurses?

    Jensmom7 replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    How do I feel about male nurses? I think they're wonderful. For lunch. With some fava beans and a nice Chianti. [emoji56] Seriously though, as long as you know what you're doing, don't panic during a...

    You mean you never noticed all of us jumping up and down, waving our arms and screaming "Run away! Run away!"

    Do you go to work with parabens on you?

    Yes, but do they have small

    Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    Jensmom7 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No!! He can't go away. He's our best free entertainment lol. Most of us stopped taking him seriously a long time ago. Here, have some popcorn; just pass it around and enjoy the

    Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    Jensmom7 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    While the majority of my patients are at a facility, I am not an employee of that facility. I wear comfortable street clothes (because sometimes I assist with patient care and need to be able to bend...

    It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Jensmom7 replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone has an opinion. I find it interesting that you singled me out for criticizing jasmine, when there were many other posts saying the same thing. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    It's the end of the week, and it's been a rough one for a lot of us. These may not be about nursing in the strict sense, but laughter is therapeutic, and if any of them make you smile, then they've...

    Parent Faked Order?

    Parent Faked Order?

    Jensmom7 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    This has nothing to do with his post, which mentioned not accepting scripts written outside of the United States. Sadly, I think the Facebook crowd has discovered the SN forum. I'm not a SN, but you...

    Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Jensmom7 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So now nurses are supposed to explain every facet of their job to CNAs so said CNAs don't gossip about them? Who has time for that? Better the CNAs do THEIR job and mind their own business....

    ED to Hospice

    Jensmom7 replied to UpinawayRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Not as much as you would think. You can set up your day for 5 visits, easy peasy...then you have 2 other patients develop symptoms that need to be assessed and acted on, doctors don't get back to you...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That truly sucks. As a fellow 60 year old, I fervently hope that my current job is my last one (at least until I start volunteering at the local PAWS lol). Take some time to regroup-work someplace...

    Small paycheck making me second guess career!

    Jensmom7 replied to nurse1990's topic in Nursing Career

    We tried to tell you guys not to fall for the "there's a nursing shortage, you can write your own ticket" sales pitches, but who listens to a bunch of COBs??

    Small paycheck making me second guess career!

    Jensmom7 replied to nurse1990's topic in Nursing Career

    So much for the "huge salaries" nurses get, eh?? And, I'm sorry, but I just had a flashback to the episode of "Friends" when Rachael got her first paycheck ever and her reaction was "Who's this FICA...

    It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Jensmom7 replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, a few things here and then I'm done with this thread, since you seem determined to make it all about you. 1. You don't know what you're talking about. Period. You are not now, not have you ever...

    Have you ever struggled with your pt passing during clinicals?

    Jensmom7 replied to awsumsaus's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It happens. Forty years ago, during my first MedSurg clinical in a nursing home, one of the students had three patients in a row die. Two of them she never even got to see past the initial visit we...

    It seems that some students are not a good fit for nursing.

    Jensmom7 replied to Banana nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The thing is, you aren't a nurse. You haven't been where we have, you have no frame of reference. So, while you have every right to your opinions and beliefs, coming to a nursing forum and telling...

    Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Jensmom7 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, but that's mainly for the adoring relatives in the audience. Pinning takes place before you even graduate from nursing school. These are senior students, not nurses. When we pass...

    Nurse Bullying

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

    This was unfortunate, but not bullying. Some people just can't help being anal orifices. Big time. You're going to find this throughout your career. And, trust me, this is NOT unique to

    No pump, no drip rates - OR

    Jensmom7 replied to anathema's topic in General Students

    And you have just seen an example of the difference between the perfect textbook world of school and the real world of nursing. Way back in the dark ages, like the 70s, there were no pumps. Anywhere....

    Resignation

    Jensmom7 replied to heronurse's topic in General Nursing

    Over the past 36 years, the only ones I've seen who were required to give 30 day notice were in management. Thirty days notice for a floor nurse is absurd. But I wouldn't put it past hospitals and...

    Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

    Jensmom7 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm there to care for my patients-it really isn't my job to make you you always feel warm and fuzzy. Besides, there is no such oath. That being said, I frequently surprise the facility CNAs by...
