  1. The state made a weird request

    Jolie replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    I am flabbergasted that you believe forgoing cigarettes on your lunch break amounts to "bending over backwards" for these clients. You can't be serious. These individuals are living in a restricted...

  2. Vision/Hearing Screenings

    Jolie replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Our state requires a health exam, including vision check for incoming Kindergarteners. For that reason, I decided to delay vision screening for that age group until later in the year, when the little...

  3. Give inhaler w/o doctor's consent?

    Jolie replied to clockwood's topic in School

    Knowing when a child needs an inhaler is a bit different than that child being able to use it properly by himself. I have no doubt that a second grader can recognize and verbalize the need to use an...

  4. Still on orientation....need a letter of recommendation

    Jolie replied to Brooklynn89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Were you upfront with your manager when you interviewed for your position? Did she know that you were transferring with the intention of gaining enough experience to apply to school, or did she...

  5. Give inhaler w/o doctor's consent?

    Jolie replied to clockwood's topic in School

    Muno, School policies require more than a prescription label for students to self-carry medication, and are based upon state law. Feel free to research this on your state health department

  6. Give inhaler w/o doctor's consent?

    Jolie replied to clockwood's topic in School

    Here are my concerns: You state that safety (access to inhaler) is your #1 priority, but by confiscating them, you are denying the students access to their emergency medications outside of school...

  7. Give inhaler w/o doctor's consent?

    Jolie replied to clockwood's topic in School

    deleted

  8. Give inhaler w/o doctor's consent?

    Jolie replied to clockwood's topic in School

    Do I understand correctly that you now have possession of their inhalers in your office? If so, I wouldn't have done that. I understand the pitfalls of a student self-carrying unauthorized...

  9. Excused or Unexcused absence

    Jolie replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    If a child is sent home, and then must miss the next day due to a district infection control policy, then both days should be excused. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like the...

  10. How to support a friend with cancer?

    Jolie replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    This! 1000 times! Your friend will not want to "bother" anyone with requests, and will feel like she should be able to do things for herself, so she won't let you (or anyone else) know what she...

  11. Ativan at School for Students Under 18

    Jolie replied to CASchoolNurse831's topic in School

    Is it given IM to interrupt a seizure? What reason do the parents or prescribers give for changing from Diastat to Ativan for school

  12. MMR Vaccine

    Jolie replied to CodeBrownQueen's topic in General Students

    It is possible, and not uncommon to have immunity to 1 or 2 of the 3 viruses contained in the MMR (or any combination vaccine.) While not often used, there are separate vaccines available for...

  13. Is it possible to learn 3 chapters in one day?

    Jolie replied to haeji's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that we all need to take work breaks and that this site is a wonderful resource (and distraction.) If you are concerned about not having enough time to prepare for an important exam, posting...

  14. Hyperventilation

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

    I don't know about your epi-pen law, but we've had one for years, and it allows parents to sign a form to opt their student out of staff-initiated treatment. Out of 1800 kids, I only had one parent...

  15. Peanut allergies how does your school handle them?

    Jolie replied to 100kids's topic in School

    Our special education director and school district attorney provided an extensive in-service for us on the legalities of handling peanut allergies. One very interesting and important point was this:...

  16. Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

    Jolie replied to ashleylea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please make an appointment with the department head who oversees this instructor. S/he needs to know what the instructor is teaching, assigning and how s/he is evaluating

  17. panic attack or asthma attack?

    Jolie replied to maryel's topic in School

    I meant to add that it might be helpful for you to familiarize yourself with information on vocal cord dysfunction. Again, we don't diagnose, but this sometimes seems to "fit" with young people's...

  18. panic attack or asthma attack?

    Jolie replied to maryel's topic in School

    The first thing I would not do is beat myself up over providing care to the best of my ability and knowledge. But that comes with time:) You had no knowledge of her past history of asthma, which may...

  19. Resignation/Sick Leave

    Jolie replied to NurseSarahJP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sick leave is intended to allow an employee time to heal from an injury or illness and then return to work without a significant disruption in income. In most instances, an employee must return to...

  20. How do you ask for time off in interview?

    Jolie replied to TravelLusting's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Contracts are rare for bedside nurses. If an offer is made, let the manager know of your travel plans and that deposits are non-refundable. Stress that you realize that any time off will be unpaid,...

  21. How do you ask for time off in interview?

    Jolie replied to TravelLusting's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Mentioning this in an interview is not a good idea. If an offer is made, that is the time to bring it

  22. Just need to vent for a minute...

    Jolie replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    Only if I can tele-commute from Nebraska

  23. Rejecting a job counter-offer

    Jolie replied to Ashleyhunleyrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I can't speak for others, but as a hiring manager, I can't imagine a reputable HR person getting pissed or blackballing anyone for turning down a job offer. If you find something better suited to...

  24. Diabetic Alert Dog at work in Hospital

    Jolie replied to Brookieakorsie's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry that the OP perceives simple, straightforward answers from those with knowledge of the hospital setting to be rude. Receiving answers that do not make one happy is not the same as...

  25. Wrong vaccine...sort of

    Jolie replied to Thujone's topic in Pediatric

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you saying that Medicaid in your state covers a different brand of HPV vaccine than private insurance covers? For example, you gave Gardasil to a patient...
