    Never wanna take students again.

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

    I quit reading at "As a nursing student." (Ok, not really, but I kind of wanted to). I've said it frequently: finish your program, get your license, work several years (NOT months...years) at the...

    Co-workers mad that you're going to school

    Jensmom7 replied to futurearmynurse25's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, now you know better. You need to do things for you only AFTER you find out when it's convenient for your co-workers and employer! [emoji41] Seriously, congratulations, turn a deaf ear to the...

    Cute things students say.

    Jensmom7 replied to GdBSN's topic in School

    Aaww, that is truly sad. Forget about whether we as parents cause more lasting damage if we lie to them or if we tell them the truth (we're always wrong no matter WHAT we do according to the Facebook...

    Welcome To The Hospital - From Your Nurse

    Jensmom7 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, couldn't

    Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

    Jensmom7 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I met while we were both working at the same hospital. He's not a nurse. We were both on the hospital bowling league, and he had a few friends on my team. He became intrigued by the one...

    Lavender?!

    Jensmom7 replied to huffmannurse's topic in School

    Elf on a Shelf is getting kind of creepy, too. But, I got THIS from a Jewish friend, and I think he's still pretty cool: Mensch on a

    What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Jensmom7 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Delegating is fine, but if there is no one available at that moment, guess who is ultimately responsible for the patient's safety? Ideally, the nurse and CNA should have a plan for this situation...

    Seven Hells: Vent

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

    That's what happens when someone has a knee-jerk reaction to a post, and hasn't bothered to read the whole thread to actually understand what's going

    Lavender?!

    Jensmom7 replied to huffmannurse's topic in School

    Something REALLY bad must have happened to you, then lol. I'm with Far. I haven't been the same since I read "It".

    What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Jensmom7 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    If she's a fall risk, you'd better find time. Or be prepared for the extra paperwork and phone

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

    Baby Boomer here, too. Some of the attitude of the Millenial generation is admirable. I, for one, am glad that after many many years, I no longer feel guilty at setting limits and boundaries. I missed...

    What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Jensmom7 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Kind of makes you wonder what went on in their relationship that made her want to be so obvious about doing him in.

    Hey nurses!!! WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!

    Jensmom7 replied to AspiringNurse23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You aren't quite correct there. None of us know you personally (I truly hope for your sake no one you know in real life has been reading this). However, your on-line persona leaves much to be...

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

    And once again, trying to make a thread all about her. OP, while many of us may have had similar experiences, you are the only one going through this one yourself. It could be a case that you pissed...

    Tough question to ask admins/recruiters?

    Jensmom7 replied to blackvans1234's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Go ahead and ask, but don't be surprised if you get handed a load of double talk. And then you can watch them shred your application before you make it out the

    Private Grumbling but NO Open Discussion!

    Jensmom7 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Way, way back in the day, I always had something to say at staff meetings. Then I noticed that my coworkers, who were very enthusiastic before the meeting about discussing problems, became enthralled...

    Any good patient prank stories?!

    Jensmom7 replied to peterlecompte's topic in General Nursing

    One time, when I worked Peds, it was a slow week (I think right before Christmas-no one wanted their kids in the hospital then. But we always had a full house starting December 30th. Eh, it was the...

    What happened to the "Emergency" in "Emergency Room?"

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergency.RN's topic in Emergency

    The more things change, the more they stay the same. This behavior is not new, believe me. Fifty years ago, my aunt used the local ER as her own private Pediatrician's office. Any time one of my...

    Jensmom7 replied to pistolchick's topic in School

    You NEVER try to put anything in someone's mouth when they're ceasaring!! Gawd, did you even GO to nursing school?? Hehehe I laughed so hard I pissed off my cat. Apparently he doesn't like being...

    Am I Crazy to Leave $$$$ Job?

    Jensmom7 replied to ahud2015's topic in Pediatric

    OP, you and I are of an age (I'm a little older-59). The difference? You haven't even done your pre reqs yet, much less been accepted to a nursing program, passing said program, then taking and...

    Do you tell family members that their loved ones are nasty and combative

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

    Because we deal so much with symptom management, yes, we do discuss it with the family when a patient is combative or agitated. Sometimes they need to be persuaded that there is a problem. Continued...

    Job as a transporter?

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

    A transporter does just that-transports patients to tests, procedures, surgery. Not going to help you clinically for future jobs, but it IS employment to put on your resume and if you apply as a new...
