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

    Jensmom7 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    *sigh* yeah, same here. Still not as bad as when I was pregnant, though. My daughter liked to stand up-when she did, I looked like I had three

    Jensmom7 replied to danedsel's topic in General Students

    I find it interesting that you are terrified of a disease that is not easy to contract via the primary means of transmission (TB), and concerned about conditions that are not in any way, shape, or...

    Me... Me... Me: A Sense of Entitlement

    Jensmom7 replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    That's why good documentation is key-if it points to him not having MND (and thank you SO much, WebMD and Symptom Check *sarcasm*), his insurance might deny the claim, and he'll get the bill. Which he...

    Annoyed -just a vent

    Jensmom7 replied to Flare's topic in School

    Lol my daughter knew not to try and come home unless there was a bone sticking out or she was vomiting blood. Then again, this is the same kid who once choked on something and reassured me with "I'm...

    Nurses turn to pet therapy

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    If you look closely, there are lines that do mark the quadrants, and they are perfectly centered within each one, lol. The empty quadrant is where I get to sleep. My husband apparently gets to sleep...

    Nurses turn to pet therapy

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm allergic to cats and dogs (as in, I can walk into a house without visible fur kids, and within minutes I'm sucking on my rescue inhaler), but my own don't bother me. Apparently you can become...

    No. Just no. It's one of those things that could be fun to think about for a few seconds, but would not end well. Again,

    I need to interview a public health or hospice nurse for school

    Jensmom7 replied to ReallyStalkingNurses's topic in Public, Community Health

    I agree, this had nothing to do with Nursing. Total psych/sociology experiment. And my response to any more "interview requests" from now on is going to be...total silence. Honestly, the Blue Side...

    Random Thoughts: School Nurses

    Jensmom7 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Not a school nurse, but this is one of my favorite threads (hi, Far 😎). This story brought back memories. My daughter was in first grade and had some dental work done. Wound up with a lip full...

    I NEED AN ANSWER!

    Jensmom7 replied to STXGirl2009's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    SYDH all you want, she wasn't asking a question about "her profession" (which this isn't, as she's not a nurse), she was soliciting legal advice, which we cannot provide. She was given what advice we...

    I NEED AN ANSWER!

    Jensmom7 replied to STXGirl2009's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    We really can't give legal advice-my recommendation is to call a lawyer. Many will do a free initial consultation. There are also online "ask a lawyer" websites that may be helpful. Just Google "ask a...

    Beard as a male nurse?

    Jensmom7 replied to Jarl Redbeard's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just wait until you hit menopause... Ok, back on track. I would rather see a male with well cared for facial hair than some of the nasty polyester weaves and extensions I've seen dangling over...

    Should I make a stink about this?

    Jensmom7 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Let's put it this way: When you were a child, you were taught as a child. Everything was spelled out for you from point A to point D, because you did not have the capability for critical thinking....

    I need to interview a public health or hospice nurse for school

    Jensmom7 replied to ReallyStalkingNurses's topic in Public, Community Health

    The thing is, Public Health and Hospice Nurses are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Public Health is focused on cure and prevention, and Hospice is focused on comfort and end of life care. None of...

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

    Jensmom7 replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I know a nurse on a Memory Care unit who will call one of the extensions, hand the phone to the resident, and the go pick up the extensions. Works every time-she acts like whatever friend or relative...
