  1. Adoption Policy???

    Jolie replied to jodyangel's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Obviously a policy needs to be adopted, which will take time. But my immediate concern is the well-being of a helpless infant who may or may not be wanted by his mother who is woefully ill- prepared...

  2. Wound Cleanser info needed

    Jolie replied to lissaq10's topic in School

    Our district doesn't keep those items on hand. If any "flushing" is needed, it's accomplished with running

  3. Who is responsable?

    Jolie replied to mckay86's topic in School

    It may be a matter of negotiation between the parents and school representatives as well as what district policy requires. In our district, there are a number of children whose parents desire (and...

  4. Kindergarten Screenings

    Jolie replied to SchoolRNOH's topic in School

    Your state department of health or board of nursing should have someone who serves as a liason to school nurses. This would be a good place to start to learn of your state's requirements for school...

  5. Temp question

    Jolie replied to RosaleiMae's topic in Pediatric

    Please don't ever alter your findings on any vital sign or assessment data. Chart your actual temperature, noting the method by which it was

  6. OTCs in School

    Jolie replied to Waverly's topic in School

    Our district limits self-carry meds to those deemed necessary for life-threatening conditions (asthma, anaphylaxis) or for the self-care of chronic conditions (diabetes, CF). We require physician and...

  7. License in two states

    Jolie replied to Dalynsmom's topic in Indiana Nursing

    IL does not participate with Nursys. Once you file your application for Licensure by Endorsement in Indiana, you will have to contact the IL Dept. of Professional Regulation to request that they...

  8. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

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

    Yes, it will. I am a hiring manager. If I receive this information from a reference, I figure that they know the candidate. I do not. If they won't hire the candidate based upon their knowledge of...

  9. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

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

    Wanton misconduct usually disqualifies one from

  10. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

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

    What happens on your employer's property is most definitely your employer's business. Take it off campus, then it's your

  11. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

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

    It is a common misconception that employers are limited to providing dates of employment & eligibility for rehire when contacted for a reference. Laws vary by state, but in general, employers are...

  12. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

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

    Please don't describe your behavior as "retarded.". That is an insult to morally upstanding intellectually challenged

  13. Multi Use Vials

    Jolie replied to soozabel's topic in Patient Medications

    Not acceptable. There is always the possibility that vial #1 was inadvertently contaminated (unbeknownst to you) by a previous user. If you withdraw a small amount of medicine from this vial and...

  14. Hipaa violation?

    Jolie replied to snowphobe's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPAA, not HIPPA :) HIPAA requires that health care providers make reasonable efforts to protect and prevent the disclosure of personal health information. 100% secrecy is not possible, especially...

  15. New RN in Docs office; Will it screw me??

    Jolie replied to Joy06's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why would you want to return to a clinical setting that is making you miserable? If you believe you will enjoy the office job, take it. I don't know many nurses who have left the hospital for other...

  16. Help? Is this possible to juggle?

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

    First of all, I would never accept anything that is not in writing and signed. Asking for a written offer might buy you a little time. When you receive the written offer, ask what the time frame is...

  17. Advice Needed for Applying to Jobs

    Jolie replied to studentnurse1989's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Without knowing the specifics of your plan (clinical area desired, number of jobs available in your area, etc.) I would not suggest limiting yourself in any way in your job search. New grad nursing...

  18. Dealing with overbearing teachers

    Jolie replied to lawrence4656's topic in School

    I'm almost afraid to ask what she is

  19. advice please :) new nurse...

    Jolie replied to NurseJessie2's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a former NICU manager, I often spoke with candidates who were interested in working in my unit. I would suggest e-mailing the manager and asking for an "informational" interview. Offer to treat...

  20. Affordable Health Care for All, Except Smokers

    Jolie replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Feel free to join the discussion here: Un-Affordable Care Act Targets Smokers - US

  21. Affordable Health Care for All, Except Smokers

    Jolie replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Smoking is by no means the only habit that serves no useful purpose, yet is potentially harmful. Indoor tanning, binge drinking, sky-diving are a few others. Yet I see no surcharges mentioned for...

  22. Affordable Health Care for All, Except Smokers

    Jolie replied to SC_RNDude's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You're contradicting yourself, Muno. On AN central, you state that Obamacare places limits on how much an insurer can charge. Here you state that Obamacare takes away the government's control over...

  23. leaving first nursing job before 1 year mark?

    Jolie replied to NurseJessie2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not certain that med/surg experience would be any more valuable to a L&D manager than your ER experience. I would check on that with the manager before making a change. Good

  24. Dealing with overbearing teachers

    Jolie replied to lawrence4656's topic in School

    FERPA is your friend here. You share information on a need to know basis, and she doesn't need to know the details of your assessment of a child, only your decision to send home or return to class....

  25. Vision Screenings

    Jolie replied to Lyssag18's topic in School

    I can't speak for Kansas either, but it wouldn't surprise me. I live in Nebraska and it's only been the last year or so that near vision testing was required
