    Has the board ever denied a license for not disclosing all attended schools?

    Jensmom7 replied to Tha_Notorious_Psych_RN's topic in General Students

    I know you have to provide "all" the things. I was just curious, should I decide to go back to school, whether anything from my college days in the 70s would would count, or if I would basically have...

    First job as a new grad RN

    Jensmom7 replied to Lissla's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Interesting. I know of an LTC facility where any nurse who manages a med cart is a Nursing

    First job as a new grad RN

    Jensmom7 replied to Lissla's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Except for one thing. The LTC sounds desperate to have a body filling a charge slot. New grads don't have the experience to be in charge; you don't even know how to be a nurse yet. Take it if you...

    Yes, you have a right to your opinion. What you don't have the right to do is call names, be rude and throw attitude. You're going to find yourself all alone on this thread because no one is going to...

    Because that discussion died a natural (blessed) death and one person managed to hijack the thread, stamp her widdle feets and make it all. about.

    Ok, you are coming very close to violating TOS. That helps no one, and just really, really irritates other members, most of whom have been here much longer than you have. Being here for a minute and...

    Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Jensmom7 replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Hehehe this reminded me of the time one of my step-daughters (an admitted hypochondriac) had a mild headache and convinced herself that she had a brain tumor. She was stretched out on my sofa,...

    How does prn home health nursing work?

    Jensmom7 replied to HumbleRN35's topic in Home Health

    Oh, yeah. You do need solid assessment skills. Don't let them throw you out on your own after one day of "orientation". Remember, you won't have anyone you can grab and say "This looks really weird....

    How does prn home health nursing work?

    Jensmom7 replied to HumbleRN35's topic in Home Health

    You don't mention whether you're an RN or LPN, but only RNs can do start of cares, recerts and discharges. LPNs can do scheduled routine visits. Generally, you let the agency know when you are...

    Non-compliant Manipulative Patient

    Jensmom7 replied to cinnybug's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are you a nurse? According to your profile, no. That gives you zero right to criticize a nurse who is venting TO OTHER NURSES and who understands the need to get these feelings out so she CAN take...

    Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    Jensmom7 replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    While it's unfortunate you had to call in, if you have a fever you're considered contagious. Your GI symptoms sound like noro virus. VERY contagious. I know of some facilities who had to be put on...

    foot check on diabetic at dialysis clinic

    Jensmom7 replied to Healerforlife's topic in General Nursing

    It's not up to you to "scare" the facility into doing something. Frankly, it's a little high handed on your part to even think that you should. There are myriad reasons a patient has gnarly toenails....

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that overhearing an Administrative Minion telling someone over the phone "Well, if you're worried about costs, we can look into putting her in Hospice, they cover a lot of stuff so you...

    1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I had a relative (by marriage) who was a nurse and worked nights. Before her kids were in school all day, she would dose them with chloral hydrate when she was ready to lie down so she could get...

    Why are students stealing my food?!

    Jensmom7 replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    Ok, I'm not a school nurse (just a fangirl minion [emoji7]), and even I see this for the complete load of bull hockey that it is. Yes, children come to school hungry. If any came to me and told me, I...

    Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    Jensmom7 replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    I once worked for a company so toxic, I expected the EPA to come walking in any minute. My friend was the "golden child"; didn't have to do much driving, the supervisor did half the SOC work for her,...

    Yeah, some of these threads are best perused at home, in your jammies with a bottle of wine (or Patron, your choice) and a plate of sharp cheddar and Triscuits. Just don't share them with anyone; you...
