    Nurse Consultant and EMR

    Jensmom7 replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    That's what our Hospice Liasons are for. Also, our RNs, Social workers and Chaplains routinely do informational visits with patients and families, where they get information regarding what Hospice is...

    What is your dream unit?

    Jensmom7 replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice all the way, but I prefer having all my patients at one facility. SO much less stressful not having to drive 50-100 miles/day

    Nurse stealing Dilaudid

    Jensmom7 replied to susiesmith21's topic in Patient Medications

    It wasn't my first post, but I did once reply to a very old thread. I blamed boredom, random scrolling and not having my reading glasses on

    Licensing help

    Jensmom7 replied to Britthomson2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am rendered speechless by the number of people who apparently think getting a Nursing license requires no more work than going to the DMV and renewing a driver's license. I think TV and print ads...

    Home Health CNA, quit case because my fall risk patient and family refused to...

    Jensmom7 replied to cdsavannah59's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can actually get into more trouble by insisting on helping him when both he and family members have specifically told you not to. As the PP said, he has the right to fall. You run the risk of...

    I survived

    Jensmom7 replied to CaptCrzy's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, a float nurse recently did a sternal rub on one of my patients because she was having a lethargic, don't bother me day. When I heard about it, the explanation was that she didn't know she was a...

    How do you deal with Munchhausen-type pts?

    Jensmom7 replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Can't say I've ever had a Munchausen's patient, but back in the early 80s several of my co-workers and I were convinced we had a parent with Munchausen's by Proxy. She got away with it for a few...

    Elephant in the China Shop

    Jensmom7 replied to hcworker's topic in General Nursing

    No, this is just someone getting his jollies from Nurse Media. I'm giving it another week or so, and there will be another odd topic, and that will also be the first post from a new account. Like I...

    This week, I have learned... (8/8)

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that thinking back over a 4 decade career has left me with memories that make me laugh, make me cry, make me shake my head, make me wonder how some of us can just be so pure-d evil; but not...

    Nurse Consultant and EMR

    Jensmom7 replied to Pilot2FNP's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Have you done any market research? How did you determine that there is a need for this service? I'm really curious, because I've never heard this idea floated before. Hospice teams meet every 14 days...

    30 Days Notice & Burnt Out

    Jensmom7 replied to fashionablylayt's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Stand in front of a mirror and practice saying "No." Just that one word. Say it over and over until you no longer feel the urge to add "I'm sorry, I can't because..." Also, just because your phone...

    Crying with a patient

    Jensmom7 replied to jlm0523's topic in General Nursing

    My first Hospice death visit coincided with the one year anniversary of my mother's death. I did shed a few quiet tears with the family, but held it together until I got out to my car. As someone else...

    Help!! A student's worse nightmare

    Jensmom7 replied to Jahbody54's topic in Nurse Registration

    In my experience, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. In this case, it doesn't even sound that good. Ghana?? Seriously? Having clinicals outside the U.S. should have been enough...

    What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    Jensmom7 replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    I don't make six figures, but my job doesn't have much stress, compared to other Nursing jobs I've had. I'm also at the point in my life where I have very little debt, no childcare issues, and am...

    I just set my friend up

    Jensmom7 replied to Kaylle's topic in General Students

    No, it wasn't mean. Probably not what OP wants to hear, but not mean. Read the other replies, most of them say pretty much what canigraduate just said. OP needs to back off, let her friend make her...

    Dear New Grad Nurse

    Jensmom7 replied to ashrose1992's topic in General Nursing

    Be VERY nice to your CNAs. One of them might save your life some day. The staff one evening shift was myself and one CNA. I had an anaphylactic reaction to a med I was mixing, and she literally had to...

    How do I get pressure reducing devices ordered?

    Jensmom7 replied to Rosey02's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, so, are you on call? Are you a nurse? An aide? Even though the office is closed on the weekend, there should be an AOC (Administrator on call) for you to discuss any problems or concerns. Also,...

    Elephant in the China Shop

    Jensmom7 replied to hcworker's topic in General Nursing

    There's been some speculation that this might be He Who Must Not Be Named. I really kind of hope it is. Scary thinking there's more than one of him out there lol.

    Another ridiculous thread, started two days ago by an OP who hasn't made another appearance. At least it's free
