  1. Medical leave ending but no job yet. Accept another?

    Jolie replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    Please clarify with your current employer whether you will be responsible for any of the cost of benefits you received during your leave. The Family & Medical Leave Act allows employer (in some...

  2. Fired

    Jolie replied to Lilynelo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for your circumstances. I seriously doubt you were dismissed for a performance problem. Even in right to work states, employees have some protections against malicious firing. Employers...

  3. Geisinger Pseudomonas Outbreak

    Jolie posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    https://wnep.com/2019/11/08/donor-breast-milk-processing-source-of-geisinger-nicu-infection/ This article describes the pharmacy's procedure (or lack thereof) for cleaning equipment used to measure...

  4. Universal Deathcare.

    Jolie replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Kyrshamarks for opening a realistic conversation about the topic of government controlled healthcare. Alfie's case (nor the other little boy earlier this year, whose name I can't recall) was...

  5. Hiring an RN into private practice

    Jolie replied to curiousMD's topic in General Nursing

    Beth, might you be confusing TMS with ECT? What you are describing is typical of out-patient ECT, where an efficient, well-run clinic can admit, treat, recover, and discharge an experienced patient...

  6. Do you have albuterol standing orders or a respiratory distress protocol?

    Jolie replied to great_lakes_expat's topic in School

    It's state law here: Rule 59 – Regulations for School Health and Safety – Nebraska Dept of

  7. Hospital Acquired Surgical Site Infections

    Jolie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are hospital acquired surgical site infections reportable (by mandate) to any government or regulatory agency? Is there a means for a patient to self-report a hospital acquired surgical site...

  8. I disclosed my disability and now they won't answer my calls

    Jolie replied to LaneyD's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm sorry you didn't get the job you wanted, but I believe you are over-stating things just a bit. You said you were not interested in rotating shifts. That is a far cry from disclosing a disability....

  9. The Nut Conundrum

    Jolie replied to BrisketRN's topic in School

    What is a "nut aware" school? I can think of a couple of working definitions that have nothing to do with food

  10. Onions....

    Jolie replied to dd_txrn's topic in School

    This little Irish woman agrees with your grandmother! And my hubby's name is Todd. So "Hot Toddy" just makes me giggle, whiskey or not

  11. What do you think about this psychiatrist?

    Jolie replied to vaspap's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing I noticed about this post was: "Patient is 21 years old tells the psychiatrist she has OCD." My thought: Starting off an initial visit with a new healthcare provider by informing the...

  12. HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    Jolie replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that the OP chose to transfer care to the clinic where her former friend is employed after knowing that the former friend shared news of her pregnancy,...

  13. What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    Jolie replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that taking care of yourself is the key, and don't believe that seeing a doctor is the only way to accomplish that. What I do believe is that calling out (typically on short notice, when one...

  14. What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    Jolie replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    If your physical or mental condition prevents you from performing your job duties, then it is appropriate to call out sick. However, just as you would consult a healthcare provider for a physical...

  15. Should I switch from mental health rotation first to med-surg (acute)?

    Jolie replied to annieelu's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Please accept my answer in the spirit it is intended: as a practical response, not a harsh one. It doesn't matter a whit which rotation you do first. Not a single patient, faculty member or future...

  16. No Parking, Yes Problem!

    Jolie replied to wernicke's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like neither the family nor agency are bothering to address a problem that is not yours. I have worked NICU in a number of different cities and was responsible for planning discharges....

  17. RN Refresher Course

    Jolie replied to gmdlc's topic in General Nursing

    You need to contact the MD BON to clarify their requirement. Does the practice requirement begin upon graduation or upon receiving your initial license? Since you just passed NCLEX and received...

  18. Can I wear long press on nails if I wear gloves during my whole shift?

    Jolie replied to Cxrleen's topic in General Students

    Frankly, I wouldn't see a medical aesthetician with long fake nails, either. The same infection control concerns apply here as in the in-patient

  19. Resume/interview advice for re-entery nurse

    Jolie replied to Cricket183's topic in General Nursing

    You left the workforce to attend to personal and family matters and are now eager to return. Best of luck to

  20. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    Jolie replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    I absolutely agree that the full cost of attendance without financial aid or scholarships can easily reach $250K for college. Just wanted to clarify that figure is not for tuition alone, even at the...

  21. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    Jolie replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    Hppy, Please clarify: You state that the average tuition for a Bachelor's Degree in the US is $110K - $250K. By any chance, do you mean the total cost of attendance at a private US college? I...

  22. Gift for Preceptor

    Jolie replied to Joelle66's topic in General Nursing

    Houseplant, bouquet of cut flowers, home made cookies or brownies, a recipe mix in a Mason jar, hand cream, foot soak (you can home-make this in a Mason jar, too), a small journal or pretty calendar...

  23. this is why I want to call off on my last day

    Jolie replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I was oriented to my second nursing job by a nurse who had submitted her resignation. By the end of the first shift, I was enlightened on all of the internal problems of the unit and the hospital....

  24. Filling medicine boxes at private boarding school

    Jolie replied to mtnbiker's topic in School

    This sounds a lot like home health nurses who set up weekly meds for clients to self administer or family to give at home. I don't think it amounts to dispensing, but I guess your BON should answer...

  25. Ethical issue regarding antipsychotic

    Jolie replied to ksusn's topic in General Nursing

    If anyone here would like a good perspective on the categorization of psychiatric meds and the attached stigma, I highly recommend reading "A Spectrum Approach to Mood Disorders" by James Phelps, MD....
