    ixchel's 8/15 This Week I Have Learned...

    Jensmom7 replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't have anything to do with Nursing, but it has everything to do with taking care of myself, which is something a lot of us need to learn to do: I learned that one of my most favorite things...

    Missing my AN friends

    Jensmom7 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    I tried to reason with it-I felt like taking a scalding hot shower by the time it was all over. Like my favorite line from Clerks II: "I'm repulsed and disgusted...and I can't look

    Patient Death Experience.

    Jensmom7 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Not no way, not no how. This was not presented as "dark humor". I think you need to start from the first post and read all the way to here, and you will see what I mean. I personally enjoy the...

    Patient Death Experience.

    Jensmom7 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    You will only be an RN if you pass NCLEX. And that isn't a given. And why do you have to contact the mods?? YOU changed it from Bea-whatever to the name you have now, not them. So change it back...

    Patient Death Experience.

    Jensmom7 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    Just one problem with this. I'm sure you're very passionate about your feelings, and really believe in them, but someone's death isn't about YOU, it's about THEM. Death is a very private and personal...

    Taboo: 10 Things Nurses Should NEVER Say!

    Jensmom7 replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    OK, Dogen, I love you and think you're a really cool guy, but if I were standing next to you when you said all that, I would probably take 2 giant steps to the side. Just in case. Because I...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Jensmom7 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I have an even different take on this. I discovered that some of my Hospice patients at the facility have been assigned to students. I took the instructor aside last week, and was rather horrified to...

    Jensmom7 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    She made you and your mom wait for 3 hours? Oh, Just, I am so sorry. So many questions how this was allowed to happen. But that won't bring your dad back, and those aren't the memories you want to...

    I'm with you, Far-it gave me the jeebies. I think we may see her story as an episode of "Criminal Minds" at some point.

    Patient Death Experience.

    Jensmom7 replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a Hospice Nurse, so please spare me the "Have a great day" condescension. You have much to learn regarding death and the dying process. Those of us who witness it on a regular basis would most...

    STUDY? HOW?!!!

    Jensmom7 replied to kvn813's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As an adult learner, you won't be able to do it the way you did in High School. Adult learners take longer to absorb material, but when we do, it stays with us longer than it does with teenagers. In...

    That the FDA has just approved the use of OxyContin in children as young as 11. Even with the "strict controls" apparently in place, anyone else feel a little queasy about

    That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

    Jensmom7 replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Me too!! Another gem from that time period: "Don't wear gloves when changing a colostomy appliance, it might embarrass the patient." I'm surprised we weren't all just walking, talking, festering Petri...

    Missing my AN friends

    Jensmom7 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    However, there are apparently as many people who are eagerly embracing it, after seeing how we AN COBs are actually warm, nurturing (although not afraid to employ a bit of tough love when necessary)...

    Welcome back, cani!! My theory is that she latched on to AN from FaceBook. Her posts had that spoiled brat, " I can say whatever I want because it's my opinion and a free country but you are stupid...

    Jensmom7 replied to kwfine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, you have started other topics touching on ageism and how to do a "Why I want to go to this school" question. Are we doing your home work for you, or have you actually done some thinking and...

    Every Nurse has that one patient they'll remember forever

    Jensmom7 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Four decades in Nursing-so many memories: -The child of the mother with (undiagnosed) Munchausen's by Proxy. Got away with it for a few years until the day she miscalculated how long she could hold...
