  1. From NICU to school nurse

    Jolie replied to nurseinFL2567's topic in School

    I was hired in part because of my extensive NICU background. More and more former preemies and medically fragile children are entering school than ever before, often with residual health care needs....

  2. Curious about formula marketing practices in your hospital

    Jolie replied to LibraSunCNM's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I took my first job in OB in 1986. Since then I've worked in all aspects of maternal-child health, in facilities ranging in size from 90 bed rural facilities to 1200 bed teaching hospitals, as well...

  3. Standing Out with My Resume - HELP!

    Jolie replied to "Just" a nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I interview and hire for our business (not healthcare related). If I received a resume or packet that included a photograph of a candidate, especially one that was a few years old, frankly, I would...

  4. School Nurse Abandonment over Pledge?

    Jolie replied to E Non Imus, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am very skeptical of this story and will remain so until we have much more information. The article alleges that the nurse said, "Fine...I have the right not to service you!" Has anyone on this...

  5. Why you didn't get that scholarship.

    Jolie replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    Our receptionist walked back to my office this morning with an application that a young man had just dropped off. She asked if she should invite him to stay for an interview. I took a few minutes to...

  6. Temporary Practice Permit

    Jolie replied to Forgetregrets's topic in General Students

    Please speak with your faculty advisor and/or the recruiter of the fellowship program you are considering. They are in a far better position to assist you with your question and guide you to the...

  7. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

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

    Referring to ANY human being as "it" is completely inappropriate, regardless of the particulars of a patient's personal

  8. Test question.

    Jolie replied to Creedyfbaby's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    A is not an appropriate answer, as allergic reactions to peanuts can occur with topical contact or inhalation of peanut dust. To choose A assumes that the client ingested the peanuts, which s/he did...

  9. Why you didn't get that scholarship.

    Jolie replied to Mavrick's topic in General Students

    Wish I could "like" this 1000 times! As an employer, I can substitute "job" for "scholarship" and write pretty much the same thing. Seems that many students gain absolutely no wisdom between losing...

  10. CDC to Launch App on How to Use PPE with Eboloa

    Jolie replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I should be grateful that information is now being made available to bedside nurses in a usable and up-date-able format. But this announcement reinforces my longstanding belief that the CDC and NIH...

  11. Babies vitamin k administration

    Jolie replied to northmississippi's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Are you a nursing student? Please help us understand the purpose of this question. If you are seeking information for a clinical rotation, your medication reference and OB textbook are good starting...

  12. Head lice--just venting.

    Jolie replied to cynmrn's topic in School

    I had a school in a particularly affluent area. The principal there was young and easily intimidated by the pushy parents who formerly held very important positions, prior to becoming stay-at-home...

  13. Chiropracter orders?

    Jolie replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Our state school health guidelines limit the definition of medical providers to MD, DO, APRN & PA-C. I will accept a note or order from a chiropractor if it is relevant to the issue in question,...

  14. Breast milk pumping at school student

    Jolie replied to shsnurse's topic in School

    Which is exactly why chicken noodle soup does NOT belong in the same refrigerator as nutritional supplements, snacks for diabetic students or medication, either. Geesh. Do you really not get

  15. Breast milk pumping at school student

    Jolie replied to shsnurse's topic in School

    I would strongly encourage you and your employer to explore this with your local health department. While it is possible that your municipality allows this, I highly doubt it. If you were permitted...

  16. Breast milk pumping at school student

    Jolie replied to shsnurse's topic in School

    Don't mean to sound negative, but please be sure that you are placing her milk containers in a sealed, leakproof container, such as a Tupperware. Breast milk is a bodily fluid and must be segregated...

  17. URGENT-staff & meds

    Jolie replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. Does the principal leave a set of keys to his/her office in an open drawer for others to access in an emergency? I highly doubt it. You have a key. An identified...

  18. Thoughts? Nurse in independent living facility refused to perform CPR

    Jolie replied to valliloves's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please ask a mod to help you search the archives. This topic was hotly debated at the time it happened. There are considerations that you may not be aware

  19. Have my rights been violated?

    Jolie replied to FredericksonL's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If the nurse in question does not work for a healthcare provider or facility that you have used, and doesn't work for your health insurance company, it seems highly unlikely that she has any access to...

  20. Student Concerns...

    Jolie replied to resumecpr's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I acknowledge that there are times when anonymous reporting is necessary. Say, for example, a LTC nurse calling the state ombudsman regarding patient care violations anonymously because s/he has been...

  21. Student Concerns...

    Jolie replied to resumecpr's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would encourage you to review "acceptable" disclosures under HIPAA: Summary of the HIPAA Privacy

  22. Difficult teachers

    Jolie replied to tranquillight's topic in School

    I was extremely fortunate not to have this problem when I worked in school. Being the smart orifice that I am, I would suggest sitting in her class and second-guessing her instructions for an hour or...

  23. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Attributing negative results to insufficient viral loads is inconsistent with the reports that Dr. Salia was visibly ill, which we know equates to being infectious. There is a greater likelihood that...

  24. Unique situation, application to RN program

    Jolie replied to GranadosR's topic in General Students

    Congratulations on your newfound determination and hard work. I learned in nursing school that success had a lot more to do with dedication and commitment than it did "smarts." Plenty of highly...

  25. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Perhaps because the conditions under which he was treated stateside are well-known and well-observed, and the staff of the bio-containment unit have proven reliable about adhering to monitoring...
