    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Jensmom7 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Since I had nothing else to do at the moment, I took the bait and looked it up. There is a jumble of "scientific" gobbledygook that mashes hyperventilation, blood pH, mouth breathing and the role of...

    Actually, it's the SERIES finale. Daughter and I have watched this season with the fascination normally reserved for a 10 car pile up on the Dan

    Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Jensmom7 replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    This brought back memories from decades ago of one of my co-workers, whose patients ate "bowels of jello". As a side bar, she would also document how many pillows and blankets she provided, and how...

    White, puffy skin

    Jensmom7 replied to PILOT3's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Without seeing a picture of the wound, it's difficult to say anything about it. It could be maceration, as PP said. It could also be epibole (also spelled epiboly). That's when the edge of the wound...

    Med-Surg Nurses: How many phone calls do you take per day??

    Jensmom7 replied to Cola89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Haven't done MedSurg in 10 years, but that sounds about right. And that was back before nurses carried work cell phones with them. We actually had to walk back to the Nurses' station every time we got...

    Medical Assistants in the office

    Jensmom7 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    No, I'm a professional who never appreciated non-nurses passing themselves off as RNs. When they identified themselves as MAs, the conversations proceeded without issues, and some of them were...

    Supervisior causing problems, what should I do?

    Jensmom7 replied to sunshiny1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think she deserves the "Snowflake of the Week" award. Again-are we still thinking that the link to Facebook was a good one? Because this is straight out some of the more crazy threads

    Medical Assistants in the office

    Jensmom7 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Have a life, thank you, and much of it was spent informing MAs in physician offices that they are NOT RNs, they CANNOT speak on the physician's behalf, and if he's too cheap to employ an RN, then they...

    Medical Assistants in the office

    Jensmom7 replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Find your happy place...breathe... This is why I decided to just scroll past most of the convoluted logic and suspect "science" (like, when I start wheezing, I should just drink a big glass of OJ...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that even though my paperwork is all done and handed in early because of the holiday Monday, that because I'm not on call this weekend I truly have a three day weekend, that even though my...

    Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    Jensmom7 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    Jensmom7 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    So...making light of females with testicular cancer would be ok?? And seriously, not making light of anything. Cancer is a horrible, horrible disease. One I wouldn't wish on someone I DON'T like. That...

    Age Discrimination in Nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    When I interviewed for the Hospice company I now work for, I actually think my age worked for me (I'm 58). I brought 36 years of Nursing experience with me, including the critical thinking skills...
