    New grads are expensive...really?

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

    Wrong. You may think your services are billed for, but they aren't. If that $300 med charge were to be itemized, nowhere would you find "charge for the Nurse to draw up and administer medication"....

    New grads are expensive...really?

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

    Because Nursing care is lumped in with the daily room charge, Nurses don't make any money for the facility. As such, they are a HUGE money suck. Until bedside Nurses are able to bill for their...

    Ten minutes. But it took me 36 years to get this

    Can they do this?

    Jensmom7 replied to jkadel's topic in General Students

    You may think that six months was too long for them to wait to dismiss you and that passing two of the courses on the second go-round wiped out the first two failures, but unfortunately, what you...

    Homework interview needed!!!!!

    Jensmom7 replied to Libby1987's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think it depends on the COB. Myself, I'm doing something I love, and I've had students tell me they hope they're as passionate about Nursing after 36 years as I am. One thing about being a COB,...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    Jensmom7 replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And then what does your Union recommend you do when management tells you there isn't anyone else available and *tag* you're it?? Not being snarky, but I've never been unionized (not that I didn't...

    Jensmom7 replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Having lived through the 60s, this has the feel of someone who dropped some really good acid and the rest of the room is straight (back in the 60s that meant you weren't doing drugs

    Tattoos in Nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The problem with a nose piercing is if you aren't wearing a stud and you have to sneeze. You tend to shoot snot out of the hole. And a friend once told me that it always feels like you have a booger...

    Tattoos in Nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Also, just FYI; using one long run-on paragraph practically assures that very few, if any, will slog through the whole thing. If you take all that time and effort to put your thoughts down on screen,...

    Tattoos in Nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was thinking along the lines of something small and tasteful, and covered by work clothes. Not a big fan of sleeves or larger pieces for myself, more along the lines of a flower or butterfly....

    Please, don't take something I said and use it out of context to focus attention on you and your personal affronts. I was giving information to someone who didn't know how to activate a specific...

    Tattoos in Nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ok, this thread is about tattoos in nursing, not how posters perceive their feelings are hurt because people don't agree with them. Now, on topic. I've seen some beautiful ink, and I've seen some...

    Are you talking about the app? Because all you have to do on the app is tap the post you want to quote, it goes blue, and a list of actions pops up-quote, thank, edit,

    Yikes! Flu Shot!

    An Infectious Disease doc once told me that all an alcohol wipe does is smear the normal skin flora around, and the only reason the practice has persisted is to make the civilians feel safe. This was...

    Is it true all nurses get MRSA or C-DIFF?

    Jensmom7 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    And that is why you don't use hand sanitizer after caring for someone with c. diff. You have to use actual soap and

    Bedside Reporting

    Wow, it's true; the more things change, the more they stay the same. Thirty-five years ago bedside report was all the rage. Didn't work then,

    Jensmom7 replied to danedsel's topic in General Students

    Meh, I'm getting to the age that people just think "Well, she's getting older, her mind isn't what it was", so I can say stuff like that and don't feel the least embarrassed

    Jensmom7 replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    I fortunately don't really have those feelings anymore. Part of it is the joy of being out of the hospital for the last 10 years. Part of it is being in a relatively low stress area of Nursing...
