    Why are some people on here so rude?

    Jensmom7 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought your name sounded familiar, so I checked out some of your past posts. Most tellingly, the "Jealous Friends" thread you started. I suggest you reread that one, honestly see who was rude,...

    ASN-MSN Psych NP

    Jensmom7 replied to FuturePMHNP14's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I worked in a psych unit where none of the other nurses knew how to mix a piggyback, let alone hang it correctly. Patient got 2 days worth of saline (six doses) before the night nurse (me, who had...

    Jensmom7 replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    Ah, memories of Freshman Philosophy class (went to a Catholic University, had to take 6 hours of Philosophy AND 6 hours of Religion-40 years later, I'm still scarred lol). Most of it was as exciting...

    The every year Snow thread

    Jensmom7 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Back in the early 80s, we had lots of snow and then temperatures around -25 to -30 (without the wind chill). Cars wouldn't start, people were snowed in. Unfortunately, since I lived a block and a...

    The every year Snow thread

    Jensmom7 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, lived in the Chicago area all my life, and this has been pretty much every employer's response to a big snow. Fortunately, I now live 10 minutes from work, and since all my patients are at one...

    bored to tears

    Jensmom7 replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    Actually, Blue isn't just for students. It's the less "technical/nursie" side. You can't reach it through the app (boo!!), you have to go through the AN website on your computer or phone. My phone...

    Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    Jensmom7 replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    Your cavalier attitude actually concerns me more than the fact that OP made a med error. OP, it happened. It's not the first time someone has made an error in dose calculation, and it won't be the...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Jensmom7 replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Heartbreaking picture of that poor dead child in that blog article. Both her eyes are covered, and the blanket is pulled up past her shoulders. This goes beyond denial. These people see her...

    Perhaps this Wasn't for Me

    Jensmom7 replied to PG2018's topic in Psychiatric

    There's an Internet meme that describes this peeing contest perfectly. I can't quote it exactly because it would violate the TOS (something I'm not inclined to get in trouble over for the likes of...

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

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    1. I learned that my Medical Director can get so upset over inadequate pain management (PRN Tylenol for a terminal cancer patient) that he literally vibrates and lightning shoots out of his eyes (ok,...

    Hospice nurses charting on facility forms

    Jensmom7 replied to oomalava2's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The Hospice I work for is owned by the same company that owns the facilities where many of our patients live. It's an ongoing challenge to educate the staff that I am employed by Hospice, and not the...

    Transcription Error- was I also in the wrong?

    Jensmom7 replied to Bestmaf1's topic in Patient Medications

    Well, I don't pass meds anymore, I haven't looked at a MAR in years. But when I worked the floor, you bet new orders got checked (OP said she gave the second dose), and I knew most of the dose ranges...

    1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I decided to let others reply before I gave my opinion. The main reason I had no idea you've been a nurse for "many, many years" (debatable, but we'll let it go) is that your profile gives absolutely...

    Please help :(

    Jensmom7 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    "No" is a word many of us take years to learn how to say properly. Once you do, you feel so liberated. Perfecting a blank stare (raised eyebrow optional) is also useful.
