    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    There was a wolf spider in my laundry room once who just flipped me off when I smacked it with a

    My DON came to my house today

    Jensmom7 replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My response to people who would get worried about "bothering" a grumpy doc in the middle of the night for something that he really did need to be informed of: "He doesn't want to be bothered, he...

    Hospice interdisciplinary care plan

    Jensmom7 replied to lilbitloa's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Ok, just FYI, you can be doing "really well" and qualify for Hospice. It's a common misconception (unfortunately) that you have to have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel to be...

    My DON came to my house today

    Jensmom7 replied to mtjoanna's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, but apparently they would still have to get permission from the doc to send the patient out, and the DON would still rant about her being "manipulated" by the patient.

    CHPN Certification

    Jensmom7 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    No, the ABCs behind your name mean nothing when it comes to doing a job well. They just mean you paid for a lot of certifications and feel really, really important. As a patient or family member, I...

    missing pinning ceremony for dying father's birthday

    Jensmom7 replied to ichiro12's topic in General Students

    My RN pin just resurfaced from the depths of my jewelry box a few days ago. I was frankly surprised I still had it. Pinning was 36 years ago, and that was the last time I wore it. Like everyone else...

    Can I get hep C without a needle stick?

    Jensmom7 replied to futurerntho's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is why I've lurked on this thread but haven't replied. I honestly can't think of anything that wouldn't get me into serious

    Male and Gay?!

    Jensmom7 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I personally have no issue with anyone's sexual orientation. As long as you know what to do in any given situation (or know the resources that will give you the answer you need) you can fancy red-ass...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    Tell you what. Actually get accepted into a Nursing program, graduate, take NCLEX, pass it, obtain your professional license, work as a nurse for a few years, maintain your professional license, keep...

    Board of Nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to Nursing5000's topic in General Nursing

    Right-I read this as OP is being allowed to illegally practice as a nurse, and when her license is up for renewal in 2016, the excrement is going to hit the fan, and only then will a lawyer help her....

    When confidentiality isn't quite the same

    Jensmom7 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You may have read this thread, but you obviously haven't read his others. He's a one trick pony, has no credibility, and is getting tiresome. But, hey, you keep watching a bunch of seasoned nurses...

    Hostage situation

    Jensmom7 replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    You bring up some interesting health care dilemmas, unfortunately your premise is based on misinformation. The ACA has nothing to do with satisfaction surveys/scores. It provides for Medicaid...

    Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    Jensmom7 replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, you have to have significant experience in a specialty like ICU, cardiac, OR, Home Care, etc. to do this. You can't expect to just walk into an office and start giving people advice...

    Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    Jensmom7 replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    If you're waiting for the young Baby Boomer nurses to retire (the ones in their 50s), you will need to be VERY patient. Like maybe 15 to 20 years

    Name one of your favorite things about being a male nurse.

    Jensmom7 replied to DatMurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    I went to Nursing school in the 70s. I remember being envious of the males in my class (all both of them lol) because they didn't have to wear that stupid flippin'

    My rights after pt assault

    Jensmom7 replied to RadioJenn's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not. He's most likely on Medicare disability. If he's enough of a frequent flyer that he keeps coming back within 30 days with the same admitting diagnosis, Medicare will deny

    This isn't the hospice I used to know

    Jensmom7 replied to jeannepaul's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Some of the old diagnoses like dementia and ftt were used for so many inappropriate patients that they can no longer be the primary diagnosis. The business aspect of health care has hit Hospice hard....

    Facebook nurses and patients

    Jensmom7 replied to Annaleemabey's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Well, not likely in my case, as she was a Hospice patient. But I know what you mean. In my case, the FB relationship with her son consists of him putting up a pic of his dog once a month or so, and...

    Are You Protected Against Identity Theft? - FREE Offer for Nurses

    Jensmom7 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I got the confirmation email, no proof requested-I'm thinking they maybe perhaps did a license look-up on my state

    Rant - How should *I* know?

    Jensmom7 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    Hehehe "Ramajama". We have Team meeting in an hour. I HAVE to figure out a way to work that word into one of my patient

    Rant - How should *I* know?

    Jensmom7 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    I'm putting in my vote for ignoring it from now on. This thread has been too much fun to be derailed by someone with no clue, and I would hate to see it get shut down because we allowed it to get...

    Rant - How should *I* know?

    Jensmom7 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, number 1: I don't argue with children. Number 2: The Hood Gurl persona is not flattering, nor will it help you if you ever pass NCLEX and work with other nurses. I know several who wouldn't put up...

    Rant - How should *I* know?

    Jensmom7 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like a shiny, fresh out of the package just graduated student. They're kind of like 15 year olds-they know everything. Probably should actually pass NCLEX, get some experience as an actual...
