    I give in, I'm a COB

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I realized this thread hit you the wrong way when I read your earlier post, klone. Since you normally do have a good sense of humor, I DID cut you some slack by just letting it go. DrKim, however,...

    Hehehe ok, what I meant was chews with his mouth open and talks with his mouth full. Brat.

    I give in, I'm a COB

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    As a Charter Member of the COB Society, I take exception to your sweeping generalizations. I have never been mean to a new grad in my 36 years of Nursing. I worked Med Surg for many years (yes, I am...

    Help With Clinicals

    Jensmom7 replied to bryony's topic in General Students

    Oh! Another thing that I just saw at my facility today: Don't take over the Nurse's station as a group. And don't hog all the computers. It makes the staff very cranky. Remember, you are a guest in...

    Help With Clinicals

    Jensmom7 replied to bryony's topic in General Students

    COB with 36 years experience, here. When I worked in the hospital, I actually enjoyed having students. My favorites were the "sponges", the ones who actually seemed enthusiastic about learning how to...

    "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    Jensmom7 replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yep, it's the reason I decided to get my BSN right away. That was in the mid 70s. So, to answer your second question,

    Like me, a dinosaur, lol. Something fierce, but not a T-Rex. Can you imaging putting in a Foley or starting an IV with those arms?

    is hospice nurse and hospice case manager same thing?

    Jensmom7 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Leolib, we tried telling her this exact same thing. However, she chose to ignore all the explanations, and kept talking about how being a "Hospice Case Manager" will help her get to what she really...

    RN Starbucks side job?

    Jensmom7 replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I don't know, if it was just something extra for kicks and giggles, I wouldn't mind it. Had a bad day? Too many idiots at your register? Clock out, walk up to the boss, hand him/her your badge,...

    RN Starbucks side job?

    Jensmom7 replied to borninaugust30's topic in General Nursing

    Because sometimes the point is to do something completely non-nursing related. Use a different part of your brain, not worry if accidentally punching in a wrong price is going to kill your patient,...

    Funniest thing you've heard in an interview

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Jensmom7 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    That's a bit of an over reaction. Asking you to stand in as they pray isn't "forcing religion" on you. Perhaps part of the confusion is the fact that this isn't about you, it's about your patient....

    How do you leave it at work?

    Jensmom7 replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dear Jebus, this is still limping along?? I feel like Ferris Bueller at the end of the movie: "Go home!! Shoo!!"

    Reporting another nurse

    Jensmom7 replied to imaLvn2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Rule #1: Don't take responsibility for the things you have no control over. You reported an incident. It's now out of your hands and in the hands of the DON. If she loses her job, are you to blame?...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Jensmom7 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Perhaps it's my background as a Hospice nurse, but I approach prayer with patients and families perhaps a bit differently than acute care nurses do. First, I am a Christian, and I do have a belief...

    Jensmom7 replied to RN_SummerSeas's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes people get hung up on titles. They worked hard for their credentials, and want it to be clear what they have. I can't blame them (although, the ones who have 320 letters after their name...

    Unethical?

    Jensmom7 replied to ahosoda's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This, pure and simple, is assault and battery, and your facility is skating on thin ice if it is swept under the carpet. If these patients are alert and oriented, all they have to do is call the...
