  1. PRN NICU with no NICU experience?

    Jolie replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Please research this unit thoroughly if you are offered an interview and/or job. Any unit willing to hire prn staff with no experience in the specialty is a red flag, and having numerous open...

  3. Unemployment Benefits/CTB for LVN to RN

    Unemployment compensation is intended to provide temporary financial assistance to workers who lose their jobs due to circumstances out of their control, and not related to negligent job performance....

  4. pt received the wrong blood

    Jolie replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not looking to excuse anyone who may have failed to follow basic safety guidelines, or nail anyone who played no role in this terrible mistake. But if 30 years of nursing have taught me nothing...

  5. Stock Epinephrine

    Jolie replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    You might find this link helpful. This is a 45 minute video on training school staff on state law "Rule 59" which was implemented in Nebraska. School Nurse (special): Rule 59 Protocol in Nebraska...

  6. Do you have a blood glucose meter in your office?

    Jolie replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    It would be interesting to see what various district policies are regarding obtaining fingerstick blood glucose readings at the nurse's discretion. A few questions: Is it within the scope of practice...

  7. I need your advise please

    Jolie replied to Guest862922's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'd like to offer some information from the perspective of a school nurse. First and foremost, everyone's goal is to enable this child to safely attend school and participate as fully as possible....

  8. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In the first paragraph, you bemoan that Democrats are beholden to the NRA in order to get re-elected. In the second, you claim that they are voting their conscience. (Although I'm not clear on which...

  9. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To what are you referring? WASHINGTON — Facing a possible defeat in the Senate, the White House is considering delaying a vote on President Obama’s choice for surgeon general or withdrawing the...

  10. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You're right, herring. But that doesn't justify half-assing it, either. We here all knew that local community hospitals were not prepared for Ebola. Did our "leadership" truly believe that...

  11. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We have an Acting Surgeon General. To my knowledge, the use of the word "Acting" in his title implies that he is the person to whom we look for guidance until a permanent job holder is confirmed....

  12. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you for prompting me to read your previous post again. I had missed your implication on my first read that conservatives have succumbed to Ebola hysteria. How have liberals escaped such an...

  13. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So Ebola hysteria is not the fault of inept government leadership, but the NRA. Thank God I leave on vacation soon. And BTW, there ARE hospitals that embraced proper training and protection for...

  14. Information Withheld from Patient

    Jolie replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm sorry that you're in this situation. I would suggest that you contact the district attorney and ask for advice on how to proceed. Child Protective Services may also be able to advise you. The...

  15. Nina Pham condition downgraded to fair

    Jolie replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    HarryTheCat, I hope you are right, but like so many Americans, I am having a very difficult time believing any information that comes from the CDC or NIH these days. My first tendency is to call BS....

  16. Depression is terminal??

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

    Just to clarify: I do believe that for a very small subset of patients with depression, the disease is, unfortunately terminal. I do not believe that such a designation justifies physician-assisted...

  17. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    And in the "Never Pass up an Opportunity to Throw Others Under the Bus" category, we have Dr. Frieden again. Today, he stated that since the first nurse was diagnosed with Ebola, the second nurse...

  18. Depression is terminal??

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

    The definition of a terminal illness is one that will result in the death of a patient, regardless of treatment or intervention. While not applicable to all who suffer depression, I do believe (sadly)...

  19. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    News was released last night of a second nurse infected by Ebola in the Dallas hospital where Thomas Duncan died. Making the story even worse is that this woman flew on a commercial flight shortly...

  20. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    Jolie replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In a word, yes. But I'm glad you brought up Brantley. I recall news stories initially reporting that he was infected despite use of PPE. I remember thinking, "Uh Oh" to myself when I read that. But...

  21. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    Jolie replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, it bothers me that some here are perpetuating the notion that the nurse must have done something wrong. In other words, blame the victim. But, in all fairness, that statement came straight from...

  22. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Top US doctors: Hospital worker infected with Ebola by 'breach in protocol,' changes in handling patients are coming Top US doctors: Hospital worker infected with Ebola by 'breach in protocol,'...

  23. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ironically, training on identifying potential Ebola patients had just been held in Dallas shortly before Thomas Duncan was sent home improperly treated from the ED. Funding wasn't the problem there....

  24. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Perhaps not, but it is laughable to imply that but for 5% of the budget, there would be no Ebola here or elsewhere. The biggest crisis regarding this virus is the mis-information being spread by our...

  25. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks, Muno. I appreciate the information. It is precisely what has been lacking in the statements made by public health officials and carried by the popular press. I understand the desire to...
