    Please help :(

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

    I was going to say the same thing-saying "sorry" dilutes the statement and makes it sound like an apology. Which it should definitely

    What you wished other nurses knew

    Jensmom7 replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice here: I wish nurses would stop being afraid to give our comfort meds appropriately. The dose of Roxanol (short acting Morphine) ordered for my patient is not going to be the cause of their...

    Transcription Error- was I also in the wrong?

    Jensmom7 replied to Bestmaf1's topic in Patient Medications

    Since one of the five checks is to verify the correct DOSE, yeah, you and anyone else who didn't catch the error are equally responsible. The purpose of writing up med errors is to see where the...

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

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    No, NURSES (well, most of them, anyway) get it. Why in the world would you feel it appropriate, as a non-nurse, to set up an account, and your only post is to tell us how horrible we are, and you...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Heh. When I heard this story 35 years ago, the lady said she had "leaves growin' out my Virginia". I love it. Nursing Urban Legends!! We should write a book

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I would be afraid of pooping at the same time...[emoji33][emoji33] Although, thinking about it, if I had Ben Wa balls stuck up my cooch, a little bit of poop would probably be fairly low on my "give a...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    But what's a lady to do when she doesn't have pockets, isn't carrying her purse and already has her phone, keys, Kleenex, driver's license and debit card in her bra??

    Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    Jensmom7 replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Ok, I'm officially done with this. The spelling and grammar errors alone are giving me a headache. OP, your attitude leaves much to be desired. Not a good idea to take that tone of voice and tell...

    Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    Jensmom7 replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Wait, what type of facility do you work at? If there is no RN at night, who is responsible for passing any PRN meds that might be needed? You really need to give us some more information-I feel like...

    Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    Jensmom7 replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You didn't answer Lev's question. Are you a CNA? If so, your duty is to report to the patient's RN/LPN, not a Med Tech. You don't mention any report to a nurse. Forget about the "bullying" and the...

    Oooh it hurts to have a bowel movement

    Jensmom7 replied to TalkJack's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously?? Either go see your doctor, or find something productive to do with your free time instead of wasting everyone

    What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Jensmom7 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    There are over 2000 posts in this thread. Using the quote feature will help the rest of us figure out who you're responding to, because ain't nobody got time to backtrack through 104 pages of...

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

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    It happens. I haven't started an IV in years, but I was pretty good at it. I used to say there were days I could get one with my eyes closed, and there were days I wouldn't be able to hit the vein if...

    Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

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

    Meh, too much like work. Besides, if her employer browses Facebook like so many do now, they've already seen it. I really think she's done with this and will move

    Jensmom7 replied to standupspeakout's topic in General Students

    Did a quick search of past posts; spent a lot of time screaming in incoherent righteous indignation, has done at least one name change, and was apparently forced out of a nursing program. Bwahahaha...

    Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

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

    License lookup is public information; the SS number is an optional parameter in case there are multiple people with the same name. She is a real RN, however she's been licensed since 2010. She claims...

    I Should Be in Jail

    I was a Peds nurse for 10 years. I know exactly what you're feeling. What have I seen that makes me want to commit an assault? A beautiful 3 year old girl with the back of her head missing because...

    The Life You Save May Be Your Own or Your Coworker's

    Jensmom7 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    1 in 300 means an infection risk of 0.3%. That means 99.7% will not result in HIV infection. I would frankly be more concerned about winding up with Hep B or C. Not to say we shouldn't be diligent...

    The Slow Code: Justified?

    Jensmom7 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are you talking about a Hospice patient who has a g-tube and is no longer responding? If so, then no, you generally wouldn't continue tube feeds-if they were unresponsive and didn't have a g-tube...

    Need Blog by a Pediatrician?

    Jensmom7 replied to huffmannurse's topic in School

    It's because the sweetener is Sorbitol. I like to recommend sugar-free hard candies PRN for my Hospice patients who are still up and about and can handle it, especially if they don't like to swallow...
