    Patient care question

    Jensmom7 replied to LadybirdRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hospice is all about choices. Some of them are ultimately better for the patient than others. That being said, if the patient was still making his own decisions, he had every right to request a...

    Unhappy CNA on night shift. Help?

    Jensmom7 replied to michigan94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    K I've got the popcorn and the comfy sofa. Anyone else want?? Chazzie, you evidently have never come across NOADLS before. Hopefully you'll get a free pass on this one lol. Anyhoo, to stay on topic....

    Hospice Nursing: A Season Pass

    Jensmom7 replied to jeastridge's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    There have been many debates in here about whether or not nursing is a "calling", and quite a bit of shaming of those who say it is. Personally, I never felt the Epiphany that goes along with a true...

    Weed and work.

    Jensmom7 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, that does it for me trying to display any form of humor in here. Yes, I was being a bit of a smart ass. No, I didn't think "everyone is doing it". My one sentence stab at a joke never implied...

    Weed and work.

    Jensmom7 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, this just made me facepalm. Number 1: Joke, mild attempt at a bit of levity. Number 2: Did I ever imply in that one question that it was being used in hospitals and other professional settings??...

    Weed and work.

    Jensmom7 replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    You don't know much American history, do you? America tried to outlaw the sale and use of alcohol. It was called Prohibition. All it did was create a very large and lucrative black market for the...

    Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    Meh, it's big on Facebook, too. A coincidence?? I think

    So can i loose my certificate and or be jailed??

    Jensmom7 replied to ahurtcna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ok, it's the "and didn't come back" part that's landed you in hot water. Did you really think that there wouldn't be any repercussions? You did tell the charge nurse you were going to lunch, but then...

    So fed up with my coworker

    Jensmom7 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Klone, that most likely isn't entirely what was happening. OP is young, new and resentful of a nurse who is able to work PRN. She also has a wrong impression of what PRN means-she feels that the PRN...

    11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I don't remember if you have Hospice experience, Far, but one important thing about Hospice: it's a 180 degree mind flip from all other nursing. I'm not a fan of combining Home Care and Hospice, but...

    11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    If this became a part of Hospice, then I would have to leave. Unfortunately, Hospice admissions have been falling (largely because CMS is taking a closer look at eligibility criteria and cracking...

    I saw another nurse assault a patient

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

    You guys need a room?? [emoji8] Seriously, though, it's refreshing to see an actual dialogue between people who agree on the big picture, even though they disagree on some of the side points. Bravo!!...

    Bad job reference from my school...now what?

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

    Well, this was mature. If you only wanted to hear opinions that validated your feelings of persecution, why in the world did you post on an anonymous public

    So fed up with my coworker

    Jensmom7 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Guys, may as well stop posting-OP created the account just for this thread, and if you go to her profile, it says "No posts". She's flown the

    So fed up with my coworker

    Jensmom7 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've always worked full time, not because I just llooovvveee working so much that I didn't mind missing parties, weddings, funerals, my daughter's school events, etc, but because I was always the...

    So fed up with my coworker

    Jensmom7 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The basic error in your logic is: The PRNs aren't there to make your life easier. As long as they fulfill their obligation for taking shifts, they don't have to do any more. And, if they sense the...

    So fed up with my coworker

    Jensmom7 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here's a thought; your coworker is fed up with YOU. There is so much anger, resentment and plain old fashioned sour grapes radiating from your comments, I'm not surprised she doesn't offer to help out...

    Top ethical concerns to RNs

    Jensmom7 replied to BirkieGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, but she blocked me awhile ago because I told her something she didn't want to hear. If that's how she responds to differing opinions, she's missing out on a lot of opportunities to

    11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that having a post removed, along with others, under the "off topic" umbrella, when it was neither rude nor divisive, and asked a legitimate question is really irritating. Really. But, I'm...

    What do you think ?

    Jensmom7 replied to Nursing4U2's topic in General Students

    Perhaps there should have been more timely notification of the policy change, but ultimately it boils down to four words: Their school. Their

    Once you work in acute care you can't go back to LTC?

    Jensmom7 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently it's a word the way "ain't" is a word-common usage/colloquialism but not "proper English". Oops, forgot to read the link first-that's what it

    Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    Jensmom7 replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    If you're driving down the street and pass by an accident, who's going to know if you're a nurse if you just keep going? I've stopped at a few accidents and identified myself as an RN, but they...

    11/7: what I learned this week: Trey Anastasio wants to weigh your head; Cerner is stupid

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but fortunately petulant students and flouncy new grads in here are not. If they want to hear what I say, fine. If they disagree, fine. I love lively debate. But discussing opposing points of...
