    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    Alas, he's married. She's a doc as well. Have you ever heard him in an interview?? Dude's from Detroit and grew up in North Carolina

    Jensmom7 replied to Nerd eNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I do believe we've gotten all the serious we're going to get out of this thread. Now we're into silly. Bonus points if you know what movie this is from: "Lighten up,

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Ah, but we can still read the Best. Post. Ever.

    It's a little early for popcorn, but go ahead and rock it, homeboy. I'm just going to put my feet up and enjoy the

    Jack of All trades

    Jensmom7 replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Not exactly what you're going through, but just to bring home the point that hospitals have ALWAYS been about the money, and really don't think...

    Are You an Instructor? You Should Know...

    Jensmom7 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Students

    You're right about how the little things can be so important. I had MedSurg I in the Spring, and MedSurg II the following Fall, and had the same CI for both rotations. Over the Summer, I worked as a...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

    Oh, dear, I totally read that as "gassy ass". I think I should clean my reading glasses more often

    Why do nurses eat their young?

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

    Trust me, it takes a lot more than a few comments on a public board to irritate me. The OP was very gracious in her apology at using "that phrase" and continuing to hassle her about it isn't going to...

    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    Jensmom7 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, guys, please pull in the claws for a minute. No one nurse is inherently better or worse than any other nurse. We all got into nursing for our own reasons, some simple, some complicated. Why I...

    allegation

    Jensmom7 replied to Salebow's topic in General Nursing

    There's an old saying, to the effect of "You don't poop where you eat." Unfortunately in today's society, any hint of flirtation can be perceived as harassment, whether the intent was innocent or not....

    Scared to admit I am a RN who cares

    Jensmom7 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know, I've always let my actions speak to my reasons for becoming a nurse. After 36 years as a practicing RN, patients and families still tell me that I'm caring and compassionate. Students...

    Might be a violation, maybe.

    Jensmom7 replied to AcuteHD's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    One thing you have to remember-when it comes to confidentiality, not every staff member has the right to know about an individual patient. Not even a nurse, if they are not directly involved in the...

    Apologies for using the term "NETY"

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

    Ok, I'm going to go a little "Roadhouse" here and paraphrase the Swayzenator: Nurses Eat Their Young is just 4 words combined to elicit a particular response. It's a stupid phrase, and certainly not...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

    Favorite Nurse Quote?

    Jensmom7 replied to fannurse's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite t-shirt is one I bought almost 30 years ago: "Do you want the Doctor in charge, or the Nurse who knows what's going

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Jensmom7 replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    Three questions for the students: 1. Do you think that patients get something extra for the privilege of having you learn on them? 2. Do you know that patients have the right, unlike floor nurses, to...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

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

    People, people, time for a little historical perspective here. When this charming little saying was popular, it had nothing to do with doing or teaching, per se. It was a slam on...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

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

    No, you don't have to keep your mouth shut. That kind of defeats the purpose of a public forum. One valuable piece of advice-lurk here for awhile. Learn the culture. There actually is one lol....

    pressure sore

    Jensmom7 replied to kunni's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    First of all, any open wound is not a Stage I. Second, any open wound that has slough cannot be staged-because you can't see the wound bed and you can't guess at what might be under it. That wound...

    Why do nurses eat their young?

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

    Working in a plant nursery sounds kind of cool. I've been an RN (BSN) for 36 years...wanna trade jobs?? 😀. Seriously, though, a refresher course could be a good thing, especially after not...
