    Special Snowflake!

    Jensmom7 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It may be overused, but it's just so wonderfully descriptive. Maybe we should set up parameters for

    I give in, I'm a COB

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Or not. Now I'm really confused. It's past my bedtime, I'm just going to curl up under my blankie.

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, hold on a sec, please. klone's ok, this thread just hit her the wrong way and she bowed out awhile ago. We all have buttons that, when pushed, make us cranky, irritable, or bat-crap crazy. Don't...

    This week, I learned (7/18).....

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know, but I'm planning on staying as healthy as possible and telling my doctor that I want to be admitted as a positively last resort. The article lists the following as positions these MSNs...

    This week, I learned (7/18).....

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That it is indeed possible to get an MSN online, without having to have any clinical instruction or experience, if you have a BA with "a lot" of experience in a non-Nursing field. I think this is...

    Best Direct Entry MS/MSN?

    Jensmom7 replied to Caramels's topic in General Nursing

    That's truly frightening. I hope to stay healthy for the rest of my life,

    Best Direct Entry MS/MSN?

    Jensmom7 replied to Caramels's topic in General Nursing

    You can't become an MSN without first getting your BSN. Some of your BA credits may transfer to a BSN program, but that's something you have to talk to the school about. And any credits that would...

    Lol I know, right? I don't know where it came from and I couldn't erase

    I give in, I'm a COB

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that was very somber, and incredibly self righteous. You and I are the same age, but I have 32 years experience on you. Yeah, I'm a COB simply because of the years I put in. I LOVED having...

    What nursing task do you loathe???

    Jensmom7 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Not usually, unless someone hasn't gone in 3-4 days, but I knew this one was lying through her teeth about her bowel status. Seriously, she had brown eyes before I disimpacted her-when I was done,...

    Today I officially hate nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to babynurse73's topic in General Nursing

    You really need to discuss this case with your Supervisor and the patient's PCP. CMS takes a dim view of noncompliance. It's a reason for discharge from Home Care. Quite frankly, there are too many...

    Nurses found out what im making, dont know how ?

    Jensmom7 replied to arack05's topic in General Nursing

    Well, Farawyn will tell ME, but it won't go any farther.

    An actual case of NETY

    Jensmom7 replied to springchick1's topic in General Nursing

    I had to actually go to the website, because the link basically just pooped itself and died on me. This is some funny stuff. After reading a few of the stories, it's my second favorite blog, after...

    Hate my job

    Jensmom7 replied to Hopeful4it's topic in Nursing Career

    This was way back in 1978-79, but when I was in my Senior year, we could work at University affiliated hospitals as "Student Nurses", which basically meant we were Nurses Aides (no CNAs back then),...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned sometimes "Eat dessert before dinner. Hell, eat dessert INSTEAD of dinner!" is just as liberating for the Hospice Nurse as it is for the Hospice patient....

    Jensmom7 replied to arack05's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, the higher ups aren't going to catch any flack because some of the minions are nosey and like to gossip. This is where you say "Not my circus. Not my monkeys." Repeat PRN. Perfecting the blank...

    I Hate People (my rant)

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

    I skipped a bunch of pages because, frankly, I couldn't figure out WHAT was going on lol. I went back to catch up-must have missed this the first time through. Yes, yes you do. You do indeed

    Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    Jensmom7 replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    That's ok, Sparky. Us "grannies" are generally so far gone in dementia that we just don't realize you aren't really Clark

    What nursing task do you loathe???

    Jensmom7 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    This reminded me of my Hospice patient who played around with her pain meds, ignored her bowel program and flat out lied to me regarding the amount of BM she was having. She also refused to let me do...

    Do I give up? Regret the day I chose nursing as second career

    Jensmom7 replied to DigThis1999's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be 59 this year, and left the hospital 10 years ago, the same age you are now, but with 26 years of floor nursing under my belt. Did Home Health for a few years, then found my niche in Hospice. I...
