    Jensmom7 replied to AliceGlue1997's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I truly hope this assignment isn't due tomorrow, because you're going to be in deep doo-doo. If you have time for the assignment, do your research, and THEN come in here with your answers. We would be...

    Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    Jensmom7 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    They would occasionally change it up to "Ringer's Lactate". Still TKO, though. I always loved Dixie's cap, mini dress and high heels. Who says a nurse can't be fashionable? Also, the ER staff did...

    Are you aware that community acquired MRSA happens more than Hospital acquired? How do you function in the real world? Also, lab specimens are generally placed in the Soiled Utility room if they...

    Three cats>>first boom of fireworks, they all lifted their heads, gave me their "Who farted?" look, and went back to sleep. Stephen King calls cats the gunslingers of the animal world. He's...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Some weeks just have two Mondays in them, ixchel. That's why it's nice to have a place to talk thins over with people who talk the talk and walk the walk. I, too am a child of an alcoholic parent. It...

    lunch

    Jensmom7 replied to healthcare2015's topic in General Nursing

    From the other three posts you've put on AN, you seem to be desperately trying to talk yourself out of going to Nursing school. If you've decided that Nursing isn't for you, that's ok. No one will...

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that when someone asks a question, and you have the knowledge required to let them know that what they are asking is way off base, they will ignore you completely, keep asking the same...

    is hospice nurse and hospice case manager same thing?

    Jensmom7 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I'm concerned that you are still hung up on the "Case Manager" designation in Hospice. It is NOT a good set up for you to learn how to do traditional Case...

    is hospice nurse and hospice case manager same thing?

    Jensmom7 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hospice nurses are called Case Managers because they are the head of the Hospice team. They are NOT the Case Managers you see in the ER or on the floor. As a Hospice nurse/Case Manager, you have a...

    What I learned this week (7/4/15)....

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that even after 20 years or so, re-reading "Love You Forever" ("I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be") still has the ability to turn me...

    Strange CoWorker Stories

    Jensmom7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yeah, our first clue, even before all of this; every Christmas we would each bring in a baby picture, post them on a board, and everyone would guess who they were. Her picture one year showed her...

    Strange CoWorker Stories

    Jensmom7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Back in the 80s, I had a co-worker who would go catatonic. She would be charting, freeze in one position, and be unresponsive to verbal and tactile stimuli. After several minutes, she would unfreeze...

    Hope you can help

    Jensmom7 replied to Mreed8959's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, since this is a rude response from you, I guess you're right, Snowflake.

    Hope you can help

    Jensmom7 replied to Mreed8959's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    She's not really asking for help though, she's asking for sympathy and validation that the things that happened in her life are in no way her fault. It's called accountability, and she's seriously...

    persuing hospice

    Jensmom7 replied to christina.dawn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Sorry, had to totally redo my post, didn't realize you were an LPN, not an RN. You could pick up some fee for visit hours, but most agencies would like prior Hospice experience. As an LPN, you would...

    is hospice case mgmt good learning?

    Jensmom7 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Case Management

    Hospice are called Case Managers because Hospice is a true team effort, and the nurse is in charge of the patient care part of the team. CMS requires periodic evaluation to ensure that the patient...

    The Patient's "Guests"

    Jensmom7 replied to rnsheri's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ok, to get back on track: Had a MedSurg patient who had injured his hand in an industrial accident. Surgery was required to repair the damage. His wife of one year camped out next to his bed, sobbing...

    ER Experience - I'm A Wee Bit Upset

    Jensmom7 replied to emmjayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seeing a family member in an emergency situation is a completely different animal that being a professional nurse caring for a stranger in the same predicament. You aren't emotionally invested in the...

    How do you leave it at work?

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

    I agree-Dranger, you have been calm and rational in your replies to these non-nurses and nurses who got their shiny new license 10 seconds ago, and who are barely out of fetus hood. I was tempted to...
