    Quit during orientation

    Jensmom7 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I once had an anaphylactic reaction at work. It was just me and one aide. She called the Supervisor, and pretty much bullied her into coming to the floor. I had always gotten along well with this...

    Why become a Hospital PCT/PCA/CNA while in NS?

    Jensmom7 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    "I recently quit this past week my 1st ever tech job as a Nursing student b/c i felt it was unsafe. I had to juggle up to 15 patients, some mentally unstable and some being total/complete care with...

    How does one get started on a path to nursing?

    Jensmom7 replied to yankeegir1's topic in Nursing Career

    Ok, I would go back to hospital volunteer work to see if you even halfway like hospital smells and sounds, because taking care of very sick elderly people as a Nurse is WORLDS away from engaging in...

    Update and HELP!

    Jensmom7 replied to v412's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure exactly what kind of agency you work for, since I haven't read any of your previous threads, but I'm guessing Home Care. Bottom line, if you are seeing patients who haven't been recertified,...

    Quit during orientation

    Jensmom7 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Wow, I had to recheck OPs name-thought this was somehow an old post from NOADLS. Like Grn Tea, I also worked as a Nurse's Aide (not even Assistants in 1975, much less Certified!!) on a busy Med Surg...

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

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

    Yeah, I really didn't want to go there. With my luck, there would have been defense of it as simply "teasing" and "how dare I judge their relationship". It's my weekend off, I'm not even on call...I...

    Your husband was dumb enough to say that to the person who knows the people who could someday be in charge of starting his IV or inserting his Foley??

    Patients family in the medical field

    Jensmom7 replied to dreamer30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's a world of difference between being genuinely concerned and being so prickly and confrontational that you yourself become part of the problem. If this is how you conduct yourself on a daily...

    Jensmom7 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    When you realize your 7 year old really WAS paying attention while you worked up your notes for the CPR class you're going to teach by holding up her hand and saying "It's ok mom, I can still talk"...

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

    This is our Safe Zone. What you hear in AN, stays in AN. Most nurses who have had similar experiences will find these funny. You have to let off steam or you will explode. That being said, these...

    Does this make me really horrible?

    Jensmom7 replied to vandiola's topic in General Nursing

    Jensmom7 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    No need to apologize, Ood. We all need to vent from time to time, and if you can't vent in here, where can you? Personally, my feeling is if someone says something I don't wish to read, I just let my...

    Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    Jensmom7 replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    Stereotypes exist, you can always tell the guys who watch too much "Naughty Nurse" Media because they have the nerve to insinuate how satisfied you will be. AFTER you have cathed them and have already...

    Any 22 weekers out there?

    I tried NICU after 10 years as a Pediatric Nurse. I lasted 3 weeks. I think it was all the NICU "success" cases that I just knew would soon be Pediatric
