    Entitled Nurses?

    Jensmom7 replied to SheriffLauren's topic in General Nursing

    I just usually say something to the effect of "Well, that's why there are so many different specialties in Nursing. So you don't have to do anything you don't like or aren't interested in". Then I...

    Happy,In denial, overwhelmed, nervous and worried

    Jensmom7 replied to JFLEURIM's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, first of all, breathe. It's actually good that you feel inadequate and under prepared. The new grads who come in knowing everything and with a chip on their shoulder when it comes to learning how...

    Everyone does realize we're talking to ourselves now, right?? OP hasn't posted anything since the Flounce, and most likely has no intention of

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

    Tb shot question

    Jensmom7 replied to Cmaldonado02's topic in General Nursing

    Since we can't visualize the site, there is no way any of us can tell you if you're having a positive reaction or not. I can tell you that redness alone means nothing. Also, a positive TB test...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    At least, including DNA and dental record analysis. Hehehe I just realized that's the punchline to a Jeff Foxworthy joke: Why are there so many unsolved crimes in the South? No dental records and the...

    Tips for really strict clinical instructor?

    Jensmom7 replied to Kiki<3's topic in General Students

    Are they still teaching that in school?? Because it isn't really true: Every BON and faq site I checked said the same thing. This is from the Iowa BON site. "Nursing faculty frequently talk about...

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

    Jensmom7 replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't a nurse. You have no frame of reference. Therefore, you can't really be expected to be taken seriously when you tell us how terrible we are.

    Senior care

    Jensmom7 replied to Jungjl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If he's still in the hospital, the doctor can write an order something along the lines of "Home with Home Care" and the Discharge Planner will discuss it with you. If he's already home, call his...

    "Bastardy"?? Good grief. Do people still get upset over that??

    Moral character

    Jensmom7 replied to beckiand's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You obviously had your mind made up, expected everyone here to applaud your efforts to destroy someone's career, and when you didn't get the answers you wanted, you did an Olympic Flounce. You never...

    what's your pet peeve?

    Jensmom7 replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    Had to laugh; that was my mom's reaction. In her case it was probably valid, her blood sugar was never over

    Jensmom7 replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, no. I went through a 4 year BSN program, found time for college activities, friends, parties, part time work and still did well in my classes. Granted, there were times when studies took...

    Labor and delivery

    Jensmom7 replied to Nurse2Be__'s topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It's something you're just going to have to find out for yourself. My OB rotation had two kinds of students; those who went dewy eyed and gooey over "the miracle of life" and me, who said to everyone...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I hate this question too, because it reeks of humble brag. I honestly don't think I've ever gone "above and beyond". As far as I'm concerned, whatever I have to do to do what my patient...

    Check with the school, sometimes they'll order extras just for a situation like this. Hope you can find

    Liaisons/Non-Clincial..Never seen this before!!!!

    Jensmom7 replied to CHPNRNTX's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Marketers (and that's what liaisons have morphed into over the years) have always had productivity numbers to meet, and bonuses attendant on those numbers. It still isn't their call. It's up to the...

    Liaisons/Non-Clincial..Never seen this before!!!!

    Jensmom7 replied to CHPNRNTX's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    No, not illegal. Witness to consents does not have to be a clinical person. Our Chaplains and SW can witness consents. Also, our liaisons DO NOT determine appropriateness for Hospice. The only thing...

    Tips for really strict clinical instructor?

    Jensmom7 replied to Kiki<3's topic in General Students

    Remember, it isn't your CI's responsibility to adapt to you, it's YOUR responsibility to adapt to HER. She honestly doesn't give a furry rodent's posterior what your previous CI did or didn't require...

    Document, document, document. Then put the ball back in their court. "It seems that Dear Mama has some reservations about receiving personal care from the staff. We can ask her, but she can't be...

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

    Jensmom7 replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    Been a nurse since 1979. Have had a healthy skepticism of the godliness of physicians since then (I've gotten an MD coffee exactly once in the past 37 years and that was to get him to sit down and...
