    Bodily Emissions

    Jensmom7 replied to FHP1974's topic in General Nursing

    Meh, it happens. I've been a nurse for 37 years and mucus still makes me gag. Blood, gore, guts, bones poking out, no problem. But a gooey trach or a snotty nose??

    Paparazzi at work?

    Jensmom7 replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They DO have a "no cell phone" rule. The manager was asking staff to take pictures of anyone breaking the rule. Pictures on their cell phones. In a"no cell phone"

    Boy/Girl Who Cried WOLF Syndrome

    Jensmom7 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Back when I worked Peds, one of my coworkers was talking about how her daughter would trot out the Drama Llama whenever she had to eat peas. Crying, gagging, hurling, the full show. Mom, being an...

    Who's at fault here?

    Jensmom7 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Poor grammar, rude, and you're a Nurse Practitioner?? Says a lot for the quality of NPs lately. ETA: Just read through your other posts. Praying you are far, far away from where I

    Nurse's Week Gifts from Employers

    Jensmom7 replied to twss2323's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurse's Week gifts?? Heh. Funny. Boss didn't even acknowledge it in the morning report email. Frankly, I've gotten so many company logo laden cheap gifts over the past several years that I don't...

    Disrespectful patient

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

    There's a time and a place to have someone face the consequences of their actions. This wasn't it. By setting up a you-against-him atmosphere, and lecturing him in front of his mother (did you really...

    Nurses smoking weed?

    Jensmom7 replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    So, you work in an area where there is absolutely no chance of drug diversion, improper waste procedure, or better yet, no narcotics at all?? Otherwise, I think you're being incredibly overconfident....

    50 Things New Nurses Need to Know About Calling Doctors and Other Providers

    Jensmom7 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I get twitchy when I have a Hospice patient with liver disease. Pain management can be such a crapshoot for these people. I have one now, the attending refuses to sign a CII for the Morphine that...

    Jensmom7 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    Missed you too. Hopefully things will level out soon and I can go back to spending too much time in here (as if there could be such a thing lol). I've been lurking and putting up the occasional post,...

    5/01 WILTW: Margaritas and Oral Thrush

    Jensmom7 replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    I had an anaphylactic reaction to Ceclor about 25 years ago. Had never in my life taken it. However, this was back in the day when antibiotics were in individual unit doses, and we reconstituted the...

    Impaction question

    Jensmom7 replied to feelix's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Back the truck up for just a minute. OP said the patient was imminent. Patients who are actively dying are not in a position to make decisions. Remember that Hospice treats symptoms. Any of my...

    Coughing/Choking Patients

    Jensmom7 replied to jetstream13's topic in General Nursing

    And thank Jebus for Atropine drops and Scop patches, right? On topic; remember, as nurses we are always assessing our patients, many times without them (or their families) even being aware of it....

    Jensmom7 replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's interesting that modern zombies tend to move very quickly. Old school zombies just kind of shuffled along and walked in a straight line. It probably had to happen, though. Really, how...

    So I kind of messed up

    Jensmom7 replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    Again, as some of us have pointed out, the script would have to be dated for some point BEFORE the drug screen. I personally don't know any providers who would back date a script to help out someone...

    Well, I was going to say something about youthful exuberance and passion, until I read this post from you. Several things jump right out, where to start, where to start? #1. Tone of "voice". If the...

    Not Manny...Manley. That's what she called him when she was crushing on him and Nellie Oleson was trying to sink her talons into him. And did anyone else get really creeped out when Mary's baby died...
