  1. Health Insurance costs

    Jolie replied to martymoose's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I sincerely hope you can find something useful. But if you have access to an employer plan that you do not accept, I don't believe you are eligible for a

  2. Teacher with shingles

    Jolie replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    If you have any doubt, please contact your local health department for guidance. Herpes Zoster (shingles) Herpes Zoster (shingles) is a recurrence of Varicella (chickenpox). Herpes Zoster has a much...

  3. Cost of CT Scan

    Jolie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone give me a rough estimate of the typical cost billed to a participating insurance plan for an abdominal CT scan with contrast? My daughter was recently evaluated for possible appendicitis by...

  4. Is it possible to get out of a signed contract if a nurse doesn't like her job.

    Jolie replied to VKALA's topic in General Nursing

    The notion that a financial judgment is not enforceable is fantasy. I no longer work in healthcare, but own a business in an unrelated field. Not a month goes by that we don't receive a court order...

  5. Health Insurance costs

    Jolie replied to martymoose's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Our current premium for a family of 4 is $950. This is an Obamacare-compliant plan that we purchase as a self-employed family. Our current deductible is $5500, with an OOP family max of $25,400....

  6. Calling home about meds?

    Jolie replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    I agree this is a conversation for the teacher. I don't know how she can possible "know" that the student is not taking his meds. I can think of a dozen non-medication-related reasons why a student...

  7. Is it possible to get out of a signed contract if a nurse doesn't like her job.

    Jolie replied to VKALA's topic in General Nursing

    It is highly unlikely that an employer will attempt to compel you to work out the remainder of your contract, as a disgruntled, non-committed employee is a recipe for disaster. But don't expect to...

  8. Pension over tuition

    Jolie replied to MindeMalcomson's topic in General Nursing

    Benefits don't mean much if you are unhappy with your job. I encourage you to thoroughly evaluate both jobs first. Only if you find them comparable in terms of likely satisfaction, should you allow...

  9. essay for nursing school

    Jolie replied to katpnguyen's topic in General Students

    Your passion is evident in your essay, so you have clearly gotten your point across. I agree that you would benefit from some assistance with writing structure, style and editing. Most colleges and...

  10. Nursing Diganosis for TTN?

    Jolie replied to Stephanielee91's topic in General Students

    Ixchel is the 4th person to offer assistance to the OP, once she reveals her own work, thought process and understanding of this medical diagnosis and its nursing implications. All that is missing is...

  11. Diastat delegation

    Jolie replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    My answer probably won't be popular here, but it is honest. I live in a state where the administration of Diastat (and almost any non-IV medication) can be, and often is, delegated to non-licensed...

  12. May I ask for homework help?

    Jolie replied to RHIA, RN's topic in Nurse Management

    I believe you are correct. I think your friend calculated this way, but it only takes into account the number of nurses for a single day, not FTEs over a full pay period: 4 hrs. of RN care x 32...

  13. Nursing Diganosis for TTN?

    Jolie replied to Stephanielee91's topic in General Students

    Well, it appears as though you are using a theoretical patient today :) Since your textbook offered little information, what options are available to you as an experienced nursing student 6 months...

  14. Nursing Diganosis for TTN?

    Jolie replied to Stephanielee91's topic in General Students

    We are not in the habit of doing homework for students here on AN, and much of the written work that you will do in nursing school will involve "theoretical" patients who you have not actually...

  15. Resigning while on maternity leave

    Jolie replied to RNtoBe14's topic in General Nursing

    Please thoroughly research both FMLA legislation and your employer's policy regarding FMLA. The law allows employers to back bill an employee for the cost of benefits provided during FMLA if the...

  16. Lice, I know, old news. But need opinions!

    Jolie replied to Schoolnursesrock1's topic in School

    I respectfully disagree. Prime instruction happens in the classroom, not in any office. The classroom is where these students belong. This is one of my soapbox issues. For those who've endured my...

  17. The Nebraska Medical Center

    Jolie replied to DreameRN's topic in Travel

    Any particular unit? I've lived here for 10 years, transplanted from home in Chicago and a number of years on the East Coast. Omaha is a great place to live 9 months of the year. Winters vary, but...

  18. Quitting without a notice

    Jolie replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Few positions are immediately available. Reference checks, drug screens, employee health clearances, etc. can take 2 weeks or longer to complete. As a hiring manager, if you told me that you would...

  19. Rh + and - and Coombs and blood types

    Jolie replied to Postpartum RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just to clarify, there are 2 types of Coombs tests. The Direct Coombs is done on the newborn's blood, and if positive, indicates an increased risk of hyperbilirubinemia, usually due to an Rh or ABO...

  20. Eraser Games FYI

    Jolie replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    This isn't anything new. It was in vogue when I was in junior high in the mid 1970's. We called it the sissy test back then, because if you couldn't tolerate rubbing an eraser on your arm for...

  21. Yet another lice topic

    Jolie replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School

    I have too much to do in a day to waste time on non-sense like checking teachers' heads. I encourage you to ask a few evidence-based questions such as: Have you shared hair care equipment with the...

  22. Infection Control

    Jolie replied to stephanie283's topic in General Students

    I believe the answer lies not in what is ideal for the patients in your question, but in what is safest for their potential roommates. While a private room may be ideal for a patient with HIV, reality...

  23. Funeral etiquette

    Jolie replied to RNBSC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand wearing scrubs to a funeral if you have no choice but to leave work and hurry to the service. Given that you are planning a long trip, I think it might seem odd to wear something so...

  24. What's a cervical disc disorder with myelopathy?

    Jolie replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Students

    I just cut and pasted your exact words into Google and got multiple articles from seemingly reliable

  25. Need advice

    Jolie replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    What, if anything, is the teacher's "need to know?" If the student came to you for a health-related issue that impacts classroom activities, then by all means, share relevant information with the...
