    Help!

    Jensmom7 replied to adsanders1963's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    "Kind" is probably what has kept you from advancing past being a student your entire life so far. You had to have realized that not everyone was going to pat you on the head and tell you that all...

    Jensmom7 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Any clinician worth her (or his) salt is going to gather as much information as possible. That's what I love about Nursing; you can be nosey and no one thinks anything of it

    Not only do they hate air conditioning, but in the Winter they crank up the heat to 112. Higher if they're cardiac or renal. I never knew how to dress when I did HH

    Hehehe I've been totally stalking this thread, but wasn't sure if someone would be insulted by my observation. Then I figured, "Meh, it's Monday, someone's ALWAYS looking to be offended, why worry?"...

    Would it be possible for you to drop down to PT status at the hospital and do the tele assessment job on your days

    This week, I learned.... (7/25)

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I think every new mother should receive a copy of "Love You Forever". No matter how big they get, how successful they are, even when they're married with their own families, they're still your baby....

    Why is it inappropriate to stand up for yourself?

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

    Shame on you for playing a prank on a dedicated, hard working physician! That poor man needed his sleep! Ok, that's out of the way. Seriously? That's one of the best pranks EVER-not one to be used...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Never apologize for things that are out of your control. Besides, I don't hate it, it's just more like fingernails on a blackboard

    This week, I learned.... (7/25)

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to be fairly new terminology. Back in the day, the entire body of students enrolled in school with you were the "Nursing class of 19__". The students in the same rotation as you were your...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That the word "cohort" is really, really annoying. Really. When did this word become popular? WHY did it become popular? Seriously, the more I hear it, the more I just want to bite. Irrational?...

    How much betadine to prep with?

    Jensmom7 replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    The messier the prep, the better. Heh. Reminds me of when I still used to wear white uniforms, back in the 80s. I was holding a kid for a spinal tap. The Neurologist preferred Betadine spray as an...

    How do I know when/if I should quit nursing?

    Jensmom7 replied to jeep_girl's topic in Health, Stress Management

    What really scares me is that by the time I'm going to need good bedside nursing care, there won't BE any bedside nurses. Nursing will be nothing but APNs with PhDs, who all got them from online...

    Help!

    Jensmom7 replied to adsanders1963's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You can read this in Mom Voice, too: I think you need to get out of Professional Student mode and get a job. Stop using your parents' age as an excuse. At this rate, you're going to over degree...

    I'm the worst CNA they ever had

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

    No, it's not always normal for a Home Care CNA to do this. CNAs making intermittent visits are only in the home about 45 minutes. Their job is personal care. Period. They can tidy the patients...

    I'm the worst CNA they ever had

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

    If she's a CNA doing intermittent visits, and is there for about 45 minutes, then no, cleaning house is not her job. However, she has a scheduled shift of several hours. That means the agency is...
