  1. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Jolie replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You support continuing, and even increasing reliance on a dysfunctional system that has created massive healthcare inflation far out of proportion with inflation in other aspects of our economy that...

  2. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Jolie replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you believe that employers should pay for employees' healthcare? Who should pay for their food, shelter, clothing and transportation? If your answers differ, why do they

  3. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Jolie replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am happy that your husband's business is one that provides insurance to its employees. I don't know the nature of his work or his competitive environment. I can tell you that we have researched...

  4. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Jolie replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thank you, Esme, for a well written, fact based discussion. It is disheartening to find fellow healthcare professionals so ill informed of the requirements of this law that they fail (or refuse) to...

  5. PRN hours decreased because of the ACA

    Jolie replied to kdhunley's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    AYes, I am experiencing this as an employer. Obamacare requires employers with 50 or more FTEs (full time equivalent employees) to provide employer based insurance to employees who work 30 or more...

  6. Concrete Thinking

    Jolie replied to fetch's topic in School

    I don't mean to stereotype but that sounds like the thought pattern of a child with Asperger's Syndrome or

  7. Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) or American Nurses Association (ANA)

    Jolie replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    I would encourage you to read up on both organizations, attend a meeting of both, and seek the input of nurses whose practices you admire. These are 2 well known but vastly different organizations. In...

  8. Can I ask a question that is NOT related to nursing...?

    Jolie replied to succinate's topic in General Nursing

    Do I understand that your primary doctor referred you to a urologist 5 months ago and you are still waiting to hear from the office? Have you considered that the referral might have been lost?I will...

  9. Are RNs allowed to arterial stick at your hospital?

    Jolie replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for a clear, concise answer to Deetail's question. The immediate need for ARTERIAL blood is the only acceptable reason to perform an arterial stick. And regardless of NPA or hospital...

  10. Just not sure........

    Jolie replied to jodil77's topic in School

    You assessed her and recognized the need for prompt medical attention. Good for you! I think you are allowing the terminology used by the transport team to intimidate you. Life Flight sounds...

  11. I Wanted To Slap Her

    Jolie replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    The bee-otch in me might have just responded that I would call a report on the child's condition to the REAL teacher when the student was sent back to the classroom.But it probably wouldn't be worth...

  12. Silly question about asthma

    Jolie replied to mc3's topic in School

    I'm sorry that you are not satisfied with the nurses in your daughter's school, but I dont think that justifies jumping on this poster who specifically asked for information and advice because she...

  13. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    Jolie replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To be clear, you didn't face bankruptcy because you couldnt pay medical bills. They were paid by your insurance. You faced bankruptcy because lost earnings left you unable to pay other living...

  14. Asthma death in Philly school

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

    LadyFree, You seem to think that I m disagreeing with you. I'm not. I'm arguing a parallel point. If you say that Philadelphia Public Schools don't have enough nurses on staff, then so be it. I'm...

  15. Asthma death in Philly school

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

  16. Asthma death in Philly school

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

    But this child didn't lack healthcare. She lacked a responsible

  17. Asthma death in Philly school

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

    By the same token, the father stating to the teacher, "My daughter has asthma. I will come check on her," could have accomplished the same thing as a nurse's assessment. Had the school staff been...

  18. Asthma death in Philly school

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

    I will agree to disagree. Access to primary care is undoubtedly lacking in many inner cities, but I disagree that it was a factor in this case. Laportia was diagnosed, had medications and was...

  19. Asthma death in Philly school

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

    Please reference the school policy that states this. If Philly public schools are denying students' access to needed emergency medication during the school day, they are in violation of federal...

  20. Asthma death in Philly school

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

    Lady Free, Some of your points are well taken. I’m not suggesting that we eliminate school nurses. As a school nurse, it would be quite self-serving for me to pound the podium and declare that our...

  22. EMS call what would you do?

    Jolie replied to rnjetta12's topic in School

    Let's recap: A student hits his head hard enough to raise a significant "goose egg" and subsequently develops nausea, dizziness and unstable gait.... Yes, you did the right thing. In obvious cases...

  23. Nurses can educate I thought it was part of our job?

    Jolie replied to Vtachy1's topic in School

    Vtachy, I hear the passion in your voice and am grateful that your students have access to your experience, knowledge and desire to “do good.” I am also pleased that you have reached a point of...

  24. Security During High Stakes Testing

    Jolie replied to amble26's topic in School

    I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. Are you concerned that if a student requires attention for a health problem during a standardized test that s/he could be accused of cheating and...

    Jolie replied to KassieAnn's topic in Nursing Career
