    I'm ready to start a paper trail.

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

    Question: If she's so busy making sure you're doing YOUR job (her way, apparently), how does she find the time to do

    Test results on hold

    Jensmom7 replied to cardiacgirl123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There was also a rumor that if you passed, you got a skinny envelope, and if you failed you got a thick envelope with the paperwork for re-submitting. Personally, I don't know if it was true or not; I...

    Test results on hold

    Jensmom7 replied to cardiacgirl123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After reading several threads on this subject, I really wonder which is worse; the six weeks I had to wait back in 1979 to get my Board results via snail mail, or the obsessive "check it every 15...

    I got reported to HR

    Jensmom7 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, because not everyone gave you the sympathy and concern you were expecting, you're taking your indignation and going home? Sorry, not sorry, Snowflake. You brought it up in a public forum, you...

    I was just the opposite-woke up one morning at 36 weeks thinking I was just peeing. Nope, leaking amniotic fluid. Hey, who routinely carries Nitrazine paper with

    Old wives tales

    Jensmom7 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    This didn't happen to me, but a friend working in ER in the early 80s who had a patient with main c/o "leaves growing out of my Virginia" (not a typo, that's what the patient called it). This was an...

    Jensmom7 replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    This WAS fun, wasn't it?? I'm beginning to enjoy being a COB. Alas, I think our witty bon mots have fallen on deaf ears; OP appears to have vanished into the ether. Too

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Is this truly what you're thankful for, or are you being Reproachful Nurse who is horrified that some nurses may have entertained thoughts of other lines of work, as opposed to "living their...

    Quit during orientation

    Jensmom7 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    And this is why my shoulders don't work quite the way they should and let me know when the weather is changing-all the large mammals I turned, moved and cleaned by myself because the halls were...

    Question about who is responsible for an incident report

    Jensmom7 replied to horrorxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Basically, it's "S/he who finds it gets stuck with the paperwork". Sounds like a very large buck getting passed. Just to cover her butt, she should fill out an incident report, and word it to the...

    I'm thankful I don't live where OOD does. (Only because of the heat, though. OOD rocks!!

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I got to "7 inches" and my mind skittered off in another direction. I blame this on it being Friday and I'm done with work. Yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to

    shut off at 75th question pass or fail (nclex rn)

    Jensmom7 replied to bevialbe29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Two days?? Back in the Olden Days it took WEEKS and there was no way to find out sooner. By the time I got my results (via snail mail), I felt like I had really earned my license lol. And I wish all...

    No visiting hours?

    Jensmom7 replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    You would be correct for today's generation, but back in the day, no one gave the Head Nurse any lip- those women were FEARSOME lol. I got my tonsils out in 1961, and my parents pretty much handed me...

    I got reported to HR

    Jensmom7 replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all, none of us were present when the discussion occurred, so there is no way to tell the tone of your comment. I'm from the South Side of Chicago, and prefacing something with "your momma"...

    What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

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

    When I worked MedSurg, we often had HD patients. Many of them exhibited the same kind of behaviors-mean, cranky, a bit paranoid. We called it "Dialysis Brain", it seemed to show up more in the ones...

    Cost of your RN degree??

    Jensmom7 replied to SML456's topic in General Nursing

    St. Louis University (private, Catholic). BSN. Right around $9,000 including books, tuition, and room and board. But this was in the mid-late

    Please don't call me Dude

    Jensmom7 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm Chicago born and bred, but spent many of my formative years in small towns and down South. I'm also a Baby Boomer, so you have a general idea how old I am. I would no more have called older people...
