    A big part of my role as a Hospice Nurse is education, and supporting families whatever their decision. Oftentimes I cringe inwardly at some of the decisions, but I understand the fears that drive...

    I learned that when the facility Speech Therapist hears that a Hospice patient is starting to occasionally not swallow and pocket food, the appropriate response is apparently "Well then, she must be...

    The Vomit Thread

    Jensmom7 replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    When my daughter was in fifth grade, we discovered she was allergic to wasp venom. How? She got dive bombed at school, told the principal her chest felt funny and her stomach hurt. The douche bag...

    58 years old - Am I too old to start nursing school??

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

    I really wasn't speaking to anything you said, actually I got distracted part way through that post and forgot to finish reading it. (It's been a long day). I've just read so many posts on AN...

    58 years old - Am I too old to start nursing school??

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

    I will be 59 in a few months. I'm also an RN. However, I've been an RN since 1979, so including college, I've been subjecting my mind and body to the rigors of school and patient care for 41 years. I...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I have learned that, at almost 60 I'm obsolete and an impediment to younger nurses who desperately want to leave patient care, but can't because many of us have the nerve to keep working in cushy,...

    Jensmom7 replied to casias12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're the OP-your profile says pre nursing, but your other posts indicate NP experience. I'm confused-are you being sarcastic here, or do you honestly believe everything patients tell

    Jensmom7 replied to casias12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    People make stuff up all the time. Either they misheard information, didn't understand what was said but were afraid to admit it, or had no intention of following the information in the first place....

    Narrative Incident Report

    Jensmom7 replied to migueros's topic in General Nursing

    Don't over think it. Remember the same questions you would ask if you were a reporter: Who? What? When? Where? Sometimes you can add Why? and How? but only if the incident was witnessed by someone or...

    They also have their own signature noises. I can walk onto the Memory Care unit, close my eyes and immediately know who's up and awake. My patients, other residents, doesn't matter. I know 'em all

    New Grad, work calling on days off

    Jensmom7 replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true! When I was pregnant, I of course went into labor on my day off. I was scheduled to work the next day. After I delivered, I called to tell them that I would be starting my maternity...

    No, that's too much information. The more you talk, the more time you give them to guilt you. Just. Say.

    Narrative Incident Report

    Jensmom7 replied to migueros's topic in General Nursing

    You should also indicate if the attending MD was notified, and if any tests or x-rays were ordered. See how showing what you've done already opens up conversation? I know you didn't get the responses...
