  1. Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    Jolie replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The Bible does not discuss bombs made from fertilizer, the use of airplanes as weapons of mass destruction or gas chambers, either. We are taught "Thou shalt not kill..." I'll agree to disagree, but...

  2. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Jolie replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    As a supporter of our President, I assure you that there is no human being whom I believe to be "undesirable" or unworthy of my care. That you have expressed such a thought concerns me. Those who...

  3. Outside providers treating students in your clinic

    Jolie replied to BSNRNHS's topic in School

    Sounds like the parents don't want to have to drive their little darling to an appointment, or *gasp* have the child miss an after school extracurricular activity in order to address a condition...

  4. Military or USPHS Corps?

    Jolie replied to sammygkicks's topic in Government, Military

    I am always puzzled with questions like these. How can a group of strangers on the internet possibly know which option is best for you? Or what the pros and cons of each option are? What research...

  5. Faking on vision screens

    Jolie replied to unexpectedllama's topic in School

    This part of your post bothers me. Why does a questionable screening effect your confidence, and why would you "call out" a 10 year old who didn't respond as you expected to a vision screening? There...

  6. HIPAA and Making Appointments

    Jolie posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'd like to know how offices apply HIPAA to the process of scheduling appointments. I had a maddening phone conversation this week with a receptionist at a practice where my family has a long...

  7. Applying for a job at same hospital after resignation

    Jolie replied to misyan's topic in General Nursing

    You left your original job under agreeable circumstances, have worked successfully at a second employer for 3 years, gaining substantial skills and experience to the approval of the nurse manager who...

  8. Non clinical boss wants to sit in on pre-op visit with patients

    Jolie replied to erica2117's topic in General Nursing

    If her presence there is truly to learn, she would ask patients for permission to attend their sessions, keep her phone and all other distractions in her own office, and merely observe without making...

  9. HIPAA and Making Appointments

    Jolie replied to Jolie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    UGH! Please inform yourself on HIPAA so that you don't perpetuate mis-information. It is NOT a HIPAA violation for someone other than the patient to schedule appointments. My daughter is an...

  10. CPS/Child Abuse Protocol

    Jolie replied to mslove's topic in School

    We have a child advocacy agency in our city that handles every aspect of child abuse reporting. In the event that we suspect abuse, we simply call the agency and provide a safe place for the child to...

  11. Confusing o2 orders. Help!

    Jolie replied to Martyyyna's topic in Pediatric

    Am I reading correctly that the order references the partial pressure of arterial O2? I seriously doubt that you are monitoring paO2 outside the hospital setting. While you're getting clarification,...

  12. Full Code required for surgery?

    Jolie replied to KDPatty's topic in General Nursing

    Involuntary commitment is intended to prevent the individual from ending his/her life (among other goals.) If a suicidal patient is not admitted, there is a high risk of death. If a suicidal patient...

  13. NICU Before Moving to L&D

    Jolie replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe it's this area of the country. I got the impression from the OP that the L&D position was in a community hospital setting. It has been my experience that community hospitals tend to have...

  14. Full Code required for surgery?

    Jolie replied to KDPatty's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. To my knowledge, most if not all patients who have attempted suicide are placed on a psychiatric hold. That in and of itself is a loss of their ability to make decisions....

  15. Full Code required for surgery?

    Jolie replied to KDPatty's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is that individuals who have attempted to kill themselves are not considered legally competent to make their own treatment

  16. Endorsement of inactive RN license to Texas

    Jolie replied to compiler's topic in Retired Nurses

    I don't understand how someone who just passed NCLEX is not eligible for an active nursing license. Are you a recent graduate? Or have several years passed since you graduated, but you only recently...

  17. NICU Before Moving to L&D

    Jolie replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I suggest you evaluate your job prospects based upon your clinical interest and a thorough evaluation of each facility's orientation, on-going education, mentoring and support of new staff, culture of...

  18. Future of Women's Health NP or Family Primary Care NP?

    Jolie replied to Amtrojan's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my experience, WHNPs work primarily in the office/clinic setting caring for well women, or addressing acute or on-going care needs. When I moved to my current home 12 years ago, I started seeing a...

  19. Rh + and - and Coombs and blood types

    Jolie replied to Postpartum RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you are combining the 2 Coombs tests in your mind and coming to an incorrect conclusion. The Direct Coombs test is done on the newborn's blood. A positive result indicates increased risk of...

  20. Rh + and - and Coombs and blood types

    Jolie replied to Postpartum RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Mom will not benefit from Rhogam. The purpose of Rhogam is to prevent Passive D Antibody formation. That has already occurred in this case. Rhogam will not bind to or de-activate antibodies that...

  21. Flash flooding required to stay at hospital without pay

    Jolie replied to Lamarnurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At the risk of splitting hairs, they can't require you to do anything. They have stated their policy for this anticipated event, and you can choose to comply with it or not. If you believe that you...

  22. NICU Precepting

    Jolie replied to wonderfullycass's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Get a copy of Merenstein & Gardner's Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care or AWHONN's Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing to read and reference as needed. Make a cheat sheet with...

  23. How honest to be when quitting a job

    Jolie replied to Caramarie's topic in General Nursing

    I admire your desire to share your concerns in the hope/belief that they will be used to improve conditions in this facility. However, it won't happen. Administration knows the performance of your...

  24. PP nurse being sent to med-surg floors to take pt assignment?

    Jolie replied to livealoha's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Check to see what your BON has to say about taking independent patient assignments in a clinical area to which you have had no orientation. Many BONs require some (although probably not much)...

  25. Therapy most used PMHNP

    Jolie replied to Malenurse12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    Where do you work that LCSW or LCPC bill or are paid $35/hr? In our small Midwestern city, the going rate is $120/hr for Master's prepared therapists and $200 for PhDs. A family member attends a...
