  1. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    OK, but people with HIV don't really go around "spreading the virus" through body fluids, because it is a somewhat difficult virus to transmit. It must come into contact with the "victim's" mucous...

  2. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Perhaps someone can help me understand a few things that aren't quite clear to me. Ebola is spread by direct contact with infected body fluids, as is HIV. In order to contract HIV, virus from...

  3. Ebola in Texas

    Jolie replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wish I could say that I trust our public health system to contain this, but I don't. In a city where healthcare workers recently attended training on recognizing possible Ebola cases, it is...

  4. Is Baker College in Flint Accredited ?

    Jolie replied to HealingThoughts's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm sure that no one here wants to see you go thru the ringer a second time, which is why you should do your own thorough research on any program you may consider attending. Accreditation and Approval...

  5. PRN NICU with no NICU experience?

    Jolie replied to adpiRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't mean to dash your hopes, but a prn job should be offered to an individual with experience in the specific clinical area. Managers love prn staff, because they are less expensive per hour than...

  6. HEAT Index

    Jolie replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    If it's too hot to safely go outside, then it's too hot to safely go outside. The staff and students are not going to gain a thing physically, mentally or socially by walking laps in extreme heat...

  7. Student Appeal

    Jolie replied to studentrn12's topic in General Students

    You can certainly appeal. No harm in trying. If you choose to do so, please be well prepared to present your own improvement plan. But I share your instructor's concern. You did not catch your own...

  8. CNM or OB-GYN?

    Jolie replied to Midwife or OB-GYN?'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    "I don't know what to do, and I am in a tough situation, as I have to decide within the next day as classes start and I have to switch from pre-med requirements to pre-nursing." Please also...

  9. precepting assignment- need advice

    Jolie replied to Iliauna's topic in General Students

    I am going to issue a warning that my answer will be perceived by some as overly harsh. It is not my intention to be "mean." It IS intention to open the eyes of any student who believes that s/he...

  10. Where/how to store emergency meds

    Jolie replied to blisssyl's topic in School

    Check with your school's policy and state requirements. The locked tool box may not meet standards. Many jurisdictions require drugs, especially controlled substances to be locked in a cabinet that...

  11. CNM or OB-GYN?

    Jolie replied to Midwife or OB-GYN?'s topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You mention being fearful that the "limited abilities" of a midwife might not be satisfying for you. I would encourage you to research the practice of both OB-GYN medicine & midwifery so that you...

  12. Students with Anxiety Attacks

    Jolie replied to coughdrop.2.go's topic in School

    I agree with KelRN215. If you are asking about a particular student with diagnosed panic attacks, you probably need a prn medication on hand, and definitely need a conference to devise an action...

  13. Rumors and privacy . . . .

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

    I was fortunate in that out of 4 schools, I only had one such principal. Probably no coincidence that she was very young & insecure in her own role. I, on the other hand, was much older, ******,...

  14. Rumors and privacy . . . .

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

    My instinct would be to respond to Mrs. Busybody by letting her know that you (as the school official or nurse) are unable to accept reports of illness or infectious conditions by anyone other than...

  15. What is bullying then?

    Jolie replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    On AN or any other bulletin board, I believe bullying is defined by a post that serves absolutely no purpose other than to degrade or intimidate another poster. I'm sorry to see that it is happening...

  16. Getting approval for FT nurse

    Jolie replied to Nurse24abc's topic in School

    Money makes the world go 'round. If this is a public school district, then the portion of your district funding that comes from the state is probably tied to student attendance. If you are able to...

  17. HR's mistake hurt my paycheck

    Jolie replied to 33-weeker's topic in General Nursing

    There are 2 issues here, the law and the employer's policy. The OP has already indicated that she did not know that her employer outsourced verification to a 3rd party, therefore she failed to inform...

  18. uic bsn advising for pre-req's

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

    This is a sincere answer, not intended to be sarcastic. Rather than coming to a message board for advice on how to navigate 2 non-communicating departments at a large university that doesn't seem...

  19. Wagon Wheel Schedule?

    Jolie replied to allyl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What is a wagon wheel schedule? I've never heard that

  20. Licensing question

    Jolie replied to rnbusmgr's topic in General Nursing

    The short answer is , "No." but I'd like to clarify a few points. You state that your original license is "delinquent." Do you mean that you allowed it to lapse, non-renewed. Or did you take the...

  21. Unstable Diabetic

    Jolie replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    Some parents are willing to do this on "special occasions" but federal law prohibits (public, and private under some circumstances) schools from requiring parents to provide care to their children...

  22. Unstable Diabetic

    Jolie replied to lvnforschool's topic in School

    This is a question for your school's legal counsel, as the answer varies depending upon your state law, and the type of school (public versus private.) I implore you and your school NOT to rely on...

  23. MD to a RN

    Jolie replied to jaes's topic in Nursing Career

    To become an RN, you need to complete a nursing education program and pass a national licensing exam. There are various educational paths from which to choose, including an Associate's Degree,...

  24. Do you ever miss the hospital?

    Jolie replied to NurseEllie13's topic in School

    Nope. Not once

  25. Duplicate skills list in resume

    Jolie replied to Iwander's topic in Nursing Career

    New grads are encouraged to include skills lists on resumes primarily to fill space. Secondarily, they help clarify skills mastered by the candidate, since nursing education programs and clinical...
