  3. albuterol before exercise

    Jolie replied to abcnurse77's topic in School

    Why did the mother submit orders to you that she want followed? That makes no sense to me. I respectfully disagree with the previous poster. If the parent refuses to consent to a treatment, I would...

  4. Newborn call parameters

    Jolie replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You mention that parameters for hypoglycemia are not well defined beyone 24 hours of age. I question why blood sugars are being done on stable, healthy newborns over a day old. That seems excessive...

  5. What companies policies do you have for work comp?

    Jolie replied to livingonadream's topic in Occupational Health

    I admire you for wanting to protect yourself, your honest co-workers, your employer and your clients from those who abuse Worker's Comp. Workers Compensation is a federally mandated program that is...

  11. Establishing Identity of ED Patients

  12. Not potty trained

    Jolie replied to blueiwahine's topic in School

    This child's toilet training is part of his education in life skills, and not a health issue per se. His toileting needs should be addressed by the educational staff. You may be included in his...

  13. A confusing interview...should I be concerned?

    Jolie replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The clinic manager apparently finds this particular physician to be very difficult to work with, as do his fellow physicians, nurse colleagues and other practice employees. That doesn't necessarily...

    Jolie replied to mandyjk77's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a NICU nurse and the mother of 2 preemies, I appreciate your (and your hospital's) dedication to keeping moms and babies together if at all possible. But I don't believe that NICU observation for a...

  19. IV Magnesium Sulfate in office???

  21. IV Magnesium Sulfate in office???

    Jolie replied to Anagray's topic in Patient Medications

    My experience with IV infusion of mag sulfate comes strictly from the OB setting (as a nurse and patient), so I can't offer any insight on office practices or standards of care. But I don't understand...
