    Crusty Old Bat Society

    Jensmom7 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Let's see... Ok, way back in the 80s, we had real visiting hours, and could actually make visitors leave at 8pm!! Our Unit Secretary would get on the overhead pager and announce "Visiting hours are...

    Interview a Nurse (school project)

    Jensmom7 replied to sjarmistead's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The problem is there are, I suspect, several posters here who don't have the credentials they claim to have. That's the problem with appealing to a public forum where nothing can be verified. If you...

    Compassionate Connected Care (C3)

    Jensmom7 replied to calivianya's topic in General Nursing

    Lol and this is the main reason I plan on staying as healthy as possible for as long as possible and stay far, far away from hospitals. Not because I don't think today's nurses are competent. I just...

    Older nurses still want to work!

    Jensmom7 replied to labmom's topic in Nursing Career

    Ageism is alive and well in Nursing, unfortunately. I think it may show up in other occupations as well, but Nursing is all I've done for 36 years, so it's the one I know. However, there are...

    General Noise Discussion

    Jensmom7 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    I don't either, but it reminds me of conversations we used to have in college after a few bottles of Annie Green Springs. Don't judge. It was the '70s and none of us were 21

    General Noise Discussion

    Jensmom7 replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Lol actually I was thinking less along the lines of TOS violation and more just head-shakingly dumb posts. Like the one who, when her HSDP was pointed out to her and corrected, giggled and said...

    I must have a massive case of the stupids today. I'm totally lost, and have no idea what's happening here. But the artwork is really cool, so I'm just going to sit quietly in the corner, eat the last...

    Your Patient

    Jensmom7 replied to Danielia95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And I don't ask people in a social situation if they need more morphine. I must say, if this is a homework question, it's kind of lame. P.S. There is no "Oath of Confidentiality" that we sign. We...

    Having No Empathy For Certain Residents

    Jensmom7 replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in General Nursing

    The dilemma of having to provide care to the truly vile in our society is ongoing. Can you imagine how the ER nurses felt when Richard Speck was brought in having the heart attack that ultimately...

    Odd finding (Concerning genitalia)

    Jensmom7 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in the hospital we once had a run of women whose urethral orifice was off center-it got to be so common I almost forgot what the "normal" looked

    Choosing a Specialty

    Jensmom7 replied to Karamia0x's topic in General Nursing

    Question-why are you dealing with vents, complex wound care and pressor drips in Hospice? Those are very aggressive treatments, and not generally a part of a Hospice Plan of

    How many times will you ask me to stay over??

    Jensmom7 replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Learning to say no is one of the hardest things for some of us to learn. It took me a long time before I could do it and not feel guilty. But there is hope!! Stand in front of a mirror, look yourself...

    Aging Nurses - Where do we go?

    Jensmom7 replied to TamDar429's topic in General Nursing

    This pretty much says it, much as we would like to think that we still have the get up and go we did when we were 20 (I'm talking about nurses who are now coming up on their 4th decade of practice and...

    Pressure ulcers in "sensitive" areas?

    Jensmom7 replied to ceebeeRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Dakins is used primarily to control odor-like our Hospice patients with large, non-healing Stage IV coccyx or sacral wounds. Creams (like Silvadene or Metronidazole) in those warm, moist places can...

    Patient care question

    Jensmom7 replied to LadybirdRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is, and that's why a Hospice patient (or their POA) who wishes to have one must come off of Hospice until the procedure is done and they go back home. It is definitely not part of anyone's Hospice...

    New Nurse With Large Disposable Income

    Um, no, it was BECAUSE he was admitted that his pain med regimen was jacked up in the first place. Hospice can manage some really severe pain right at
