    Nurse stealing narcs advice

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Jensmom7 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    You make some points, but sorry, I graduated from a BSN program. Also, do these new goals and ideas cancel out basic good manners and humility? Students demanding that floor nurses teach them All The...

    Dating Coworkers

    Jensmom7 replied to Wake88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, my husband and I worked at the same hospital, but not in the same department, and he's not a healthcare worker (he worked in General Stores). We'll be married 33 years this August. In general...

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Jensmom7 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I'm reminded of the fearsome CI who had a saying for everything. One of her favorites was "If you have time to lean, you have time to clean." Wonder how long it would take the Snowflake crowd to...

    6/11 WILTW Unsupervised Chalk Use

    Jensmom7 replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    That's a big affirmative. It's the stuff nightmares are made of

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Jensmom7 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    I was a student nurse 40 years ago. Frankly, the floor nurses didn't get upset with us for one simple reason; we stayed the Hell out of their way and didn't expect them to teach us the things that...

    Going to be fired?

    Jensmom7 replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you aren't a nurse, your "opinion" means absolutely bupkis to anyone who really is one-who went through school, took and passed NCLEX, got a job as a nurse and has actually experienced life as a...

    Going to be fired?

    Jensmom7 replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just a slight side track, then back on topic. You were supervising another patient, not these two. How did you see "deep pressure ulcers" on them without turning them, which you shouldn't have been...

    6/11 WILTW Unsupervised Chalk Use

    Jensmom7 replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned that a radio ad for a for profit nursing school gives me the jeebies. Part of the copy goes; "Isn't it better to have a program that keeps students IN, rather than weed some OUT?"...

    Going to be fired?

    Jensmom7 replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    SO much about everything you've said gives me chills. In almost all your posts you pay lip service to taking responsibility for your actions, but you ultimately wind up blaming someone else for some...

    Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    Jensmom7 replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Gee, guess I'm just a stupid knuckle-dragger. Never felt the need to become a provider to prove I'm smart. And, FYI, over the last 40 years I've done a LOT more than "just" empty colostomy bags....

    Use of cellphones while at work

    I read it as she uses an epi pen 4-12xwk, not 4-12 epi

    How often did YOU see the school nurse?

    Jensmom7 replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    The only time I remember even seeing the school nurse (a fearsome sight, 7 feet tall, dressed in crisp white from her starched cap to her perfectly shined shoes. Hey, I was 6 and it was the early 60s,...

    Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    Jensmom7 replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    I was on my way home today-Friday, long day, brain fart, my work phone rang and without thinking I answered it without pulling over first (people driving and talking on the phone is one of my pet...

    Is this discrimination?

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

    Eventually, the private funds run out and they file for Medicaid, which then pays their expenses. Fewer and fewer LTC patients are private pay these days. But, on topic... I rarely advise contacting...

    Jensmom7 replied to 100kids's topic in School

    You get to work from home and in your pajamas if you want. You have a good thing going, why pee in the School Nurses Cheerios just because they get the summer off? And if you follow the forum at...

    What Nurses really Want to Say When They Chart

    Jensmom7 replied to SICUshortCait's topic in General Nursing

    Man, this is one thing I love about Hospice. There are no compliance/noncompliance issues. Hospice is all about choices. We don't give them orders to follow, we give them recommendations based on...

    "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Jensmom7 replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    You know, we pretty much agree as a profession that we detest when non-nurses tell us how to do our job, or when they attempt to override our advise because they looked it up on WebMD. Why should we...

    Best quality care cannot be provided

    Jensmom7 replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing

    That's one thing I love about Hospice. There's paperwork, but nowhere the volume found in Home Care. My fervent prayer is that CMS never figures out a way to incorporate OASIS into Hospice...

    Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    Jensmom7 replied to francoml's topic in MICU, SICU

    I'm always amused when the same arguments I heard in the 80s and 90s pop up here. I was a "lowly" MedSurg floor nurse in the 90s. Critical care staff routinely looked down their noses at us and...

    Ever Feel Inadequate?

    Jensmom7 replied to NotYourMamasRN's topic in General Nursing

    That may be, but until the daily bedside care that nurses provide can be billed and the hospital can receive payment for it, our contribution to the bottom line is pretty much invisible to TPTB....

    Ever Feel Inadequate?

    Jensmom7 replied to NotYourMamasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't hold your breath on any of that happening in the foreseeable future. Right now, nurses are a financial drain on hospitals and facilities; they pay us, but we don't make them any money. Unlike...

    Unprofessional Statement in Policy Book

    Jensmom7 replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Screenshot of that policy or it didn't happen. Part of the review process for policies goes through the legal department. Doubtful a lawyer would ever let something like that
