    Jensmom7 replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cani, I believe everything happens for a reason. You didn't post here until you read my post. That article was amazing. Frankly, I was exhausted after reading it. If anyone can help OP navigate his...

    Jensmom7 replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cani, I in no way ever meant to hurt anyone. But if I, an RN, don't completely understand what ADD and ADHD is all about, don't you think that the civilians could have the same concerns and be TRULY...

    Jensmom7 replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cani, I'm not trying to be mean. I don't have ADD or ADHD, so I honestly don't know. So, no, I'm NOT "way out of line." What I DO know is that Nursing has changed radically in the past decade or so....

    NO, she's already afraid this is going to go on her Permanent Record, where it will follow her and be mentioned at every job interview in perpetuity. Don't traumatize her any more. Seriously, OP,...

    Jensmom7 replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So, if he tests with accommodations and manages to pass NCLEX, what kind of accommodations can he demand from an employer? I'm sorry, but if I'm ever in a hospital, I really don't want to have to...

    Hospital Cares More about HCAHPS than Nurses!

    Jensmom7 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Until Nurses can bill for their services (or when hospitals can bill for Nursing-you know that at this time we're lumped in with the room charge, right?) and start making money for facilities, we will...

    Jensmom7 replied to nurse pocahontas's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I don't argue with children, so it really doesn't matter to me whether or not the trick worked for you. It's a crap shoot, nothing more, nothing less. What I did notice was your rude, flippant...

    Least Favorite Things Patients Say

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

    Thankfully, in Hospice we rarely get that attitude. Whenever I heard that line in the hospital, I always wanted to tell them "Make sure you spell the name right. It's such a hassle correcting legal...

    Jensmom7 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    We don't live in bubbles. The media has everyone paranoid about "super germs" in hospital settings, but you have a greater chance of getting community acquired MRSA now. Also, many people, including...
