  1. Spiral Femur Fx in toddler

    Jolie replied to lahryn18's topic in Pediatric

    I appreciate the information shared by posters, especially scottaprn, who have far more experience with fractures in toddlers, and can accurately address the likelihood of various scenarios. What...

  2. Insurance.

    Jolie replied to Randall1022's topic in General Nursing

    roser13 is correct that COBRA is not insurance, it is a federal law outlining an employee's rights and responsibilities regarding healthcare insurance once s/he no longer qualifies for group health...

  3. Early Release of Mom's and Infants

    Jolie replied to ladytraviler's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are exceptions to every "rule," but in my experience, the parents who requested early discharge were usually very well educated and well prepared to take care of themselves and their newborns at...

  4. Fitbit to track sleeping habits

    Jolie posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    Does anyone have experience using a Fitbit or other similar technology to monitor sleeping habits for the purpose of improving health? I have a family member with a chronic condition that we are...

  5. PNPs with Neonatals

    Jolie replied to loveflowers's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes, PNPs can and do work in NICUs. In some units, they focus on the older babies, in others they function similarly to the NNPs. They have a lot to offer in the areas of growth and development, well...

  6. Fitbit to track sleeping habits

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

    Thanks everyone! I'll look into the different models and options. She has an appointment in early July, so we should be able to make a decision by then

  7. Medical Billing Question

    Jolie replied to Jolie's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for your input. Uncharacteristically, it is not the insurance company that I blame for this situation. I received very intensive services from a multi-specialty group in early 2014....

  8. Medical Billing Question

    Jolie posted a topic in General Nursing

    It has been eons since I was involved with billing, so I know that things have likely changed quite a bit, and probably not in favor of the provider. Back in the dark ages, providers typically had up...

  9. Not cut out for NICU

    Jolie replied to navyblueRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have a slightly different take on your post. I'm not alarmed by your reaction to NICU at all, and actually think it indicates that you'll make an excellent NICU nurse, if you give yourself the...

  10. Delayed Cord Clamping

    Jolie replied to jloyloe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This may explain the case of kernicterus klone referred to, but please do not assume that it is the only possible cause. Because it is (thankfully) so rare now, I won't disclose much, other than to...

  11. How many nurses to students ratio?

    Jolie replied to NurseLRW's topic in School

    I was responsible for 1800 students in 4 buildings from K-8. I had very capable secretarial and health aide support in each building. On Fridays, the other district nurses were off and I was on call...

  12. School Nurse = Employee Health Nurse?

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

    My situation was unique in that I was not a school district employee, but was employed by a public health agency and was one of several nurses contracted into our school district. We were employed to...

  13. Philly schools to outsource nurses?

    Jolie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in School

    I would be very curious to see how a model like that would be financed, given that nursing services alone are too expensive for the district to fund. Is it feasible to offer in-school services to...

  14. Wrongful termination?

    Jolie replied to greygooseuria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't think that most people understand the purpose of unemployment compensation. It is intended to minimize income loss for a person who loses his/her job through no fault of his own. For...

  15. Wrongful termination?

    Jolie replied to greygooseuria's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm sorry for your situation, and it does sound like your employer is intent on limiting costs, but that does not amount to wrongful termination. By stating your intent to leave your employer, you...

  16. End of year meds?

    Jolie replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    I agree with those who voice concern about sending meds home with kids, regardless of parental permission, for 2 reasons. First of all, if it was safe for children to be in possession of their meds,...

  17. HPV Vaccine

    Jolie replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    Women Who Received HPV Vaccine May Need Another

  18. on my way to RN.....but now my employer through a monkey wrench in

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

    When do you anticipate that the pain unit will open and the supervisory job will actually be available? It sounds to me like that could be a few years down the road. I don't mean to be a naysayer....

  19. Spinoff of Lidocaine with IV - what about Lidocaine mixed with Rocephin?

    Jolie replied to klone's topic in Patient Medications

    In my experience, Rocephin is much better tolerated (by both adults and children) when mixed with lidocaine. I cant explain why lidocaine may burn in one instance, and lessen pain in another, but...

  20. What is the freaking deal with OB?

    Jolie replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    Congratulations, cayenne! Best wishes for a long and satisfying career as a

  21. This is a stretch to call HIPAA violation

    Jolie replied to T-Bird78's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am truly sorry that administration chose not to discuss the situation with the parent and educate her on HIPAA, deciding instead to mandate envelopes, which are a complete waste of time and money,...

  22. What is the freaking deal with OB?

    Jolie replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    I think students tend to be attracted to an area of nursing that is relevant to their stage in life. When I graduated 30 years ago, our class was virtually 100% women in their early 20's, many either...

  23. Misdiagnosis

    Jolie replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I recently took my daughter to our primary care office for a sick visit. She saw a senior doctor in the practice we'd not met before. He was fascinating to talk to as he explained that he now sees...

  24. Attempting to find NP preceptors in Chicago area

    Jolie replied to Bumex's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. Chicago is home to a number of well-regarded Nurse Practitioner education programs, most of which are offered "on site" and include clinical...

  25. Medication Disposal

    Jolie replied to denstar's topic in School

    We have a medical mission organization in our town that accepts Epi-pens that are less than 6 months out of date for use on overseas trips. Nice to see them go to good use
