    Jensmom7 replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    WILTW: Actually, it's what I RElearned: I love to teach. Love it, love it, love. it. Really love it. Except, the thought of being at a desk in the front of a room facing a sea of blank, vapid faces...

    Should I quit nursing?

    Jensmom7 replied to rnsavinglives's topic in General Nursing

    Please, people, for the love of fuzzy puppies, please stop dangling Hospice in front of overwhelmed newer nurses like it's the answer to their prayers. There's so much that goes into being a...

    Patient refuses meds and treatment

    I think you're confusing Jehovah's Witnesses with Christian Scientists. I could be wrong. That last post of yours made me go cross eyed and I'm not sure I actually read the whole

    Being a pre-med is so overated

    Jensmom7 replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    Why would any self-respecting nurse WANT to waste her time trying to talk rationally to a gaggle of

    Being a pre-med is so overated

    Jensmom7 replied to Ambreree's topic in General Nursing

    Back a hundred years ago, when I was in college, those of us who were actual nursing students used to sit in the dorm dining room with the oh-so-important pre meds and tell the most graphic stories...

    Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Jensmom7 replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    Cisgendered means the opposite of transgendered. In other words, people who identify with the gender they drew at

    Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    Jensmom7 replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    Seriously? How much contact have you had with the transgendered? A trans female is NOT going to walk around looking like a Justin Bieber wannabe, with a six pack and copious underarm hair. There is...

    pt complains hospital too much like a hotel

    Jensmom7 replied to Double Dunker's topic in General Nursing

    Patient refuses meds and treatment

    Jensmom7 replied to wifeygrooms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, this homework question is based on misinformation regarding the belief set of the Church of Christ, Scientist. Medical intervention is not rejected out of hand. Hopefully, the young man's...

    Best way to avoid bedside care?

    Jensmom7 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice can be difficult enough for nurses who have bedside experience to learn, let alone a new grad. I've seen fairly seasoned nurses run screaming into the night after a month or so of trying...

    Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Jensmom7 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Lol my daughter was such a nurse's kid: she knew from kindergarten that unless blood was spurting across the room, a bone was poking out or an extremity had an extra bend in it, not to expect me to...

    Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Nurse's Week Gifts from Employers

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, that's wonderful. I've been following, with everything possible crossed for you. I have this crazy superstition that potentially bad outcomes will turn good if I don't pay overt attention to...

    Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Jensmom7 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Kids can always surprise you, though. Several years ago, we were on vacation in Florida, and were in a mall. A group of tweenage boys ran past us, and one bumped into me (very slightly, no harm...

    Sickle Cell Anemia Question

    Jensmom7 replied to Brainy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Very impassioned speech. However, it has nothing to do with the focus of this thread, which involves a homework assignment concerning a patient with SCD, and is two years old, to boot. Didn't see...

    94 or higher is an A?

    Jensmom7 replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    And this is why we need to stop giving a trophy to every kid who shows up to an event. Learning about competition and that not everyone gets an automatic A in life isn't a bad

    When are you officially a nursing student?

    Jensmom7 replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in General Students

    Why not?? Students taking "pre-med" courses don't call themselves med students until they've been accepted to Medical school. Students taking "pre-law" courses don't call themselves law students...
