  1. "I'm not listening to you" says the doctor

    Jolie replied to beachmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would like to encourage you to take this case to your department manager, medical director (when s/he returns), QA committee, hospital risk manager, chief of medical staff, and anyone else up the...

  2. Did I scare them away? (Long Story)

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

    Please don't take my response the wrong way. I mean no disrespect to you, as you are obviously a motivated, eager, conscientious job hunter. But there is absolutely no way that anonymous posters on a...

  3. New LVN grad, 3 days of orientation with no pay.

    Jolie replied to Nurse1005's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    please don't mis-understand my comment. it is not a reflection on you. it is a reflection on the person and institution that hired you. what she "saw in you" was a pulse and a lack of experience...

  4. Best place to purchase stock epi pens

    Jolie replied to 100kids's topic in School

    We have a local pharmacy that provides them to us for cost. We stock 1 Epi pen and 1 Jr. per school (12 buildings) and are able to get same-day replacement when needed. They make sure to provide...

  5. Last week

    Jolie replied to 100kids's topic in School

    Holy Cow! It's hard for me to imagine school still in session. We've been out for almost a month. Welcome to summer

  6. Question about men in labor/delivery and nursery.

    Jolie replied to jhyde17's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Legally, a qualified candidate can not be denied employment based solely on gender. And in this day and age, I don't believe there are too many women who would refuse a nurse simply because of gender....

  7. Confidentiality and social networking

    Jolie replied to vanderbert's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    May I make a suggestion? Please contact a nurse manager or HR supervisor in your area and ask for a brief personal interview for your school project. It amazes me that students consider, and teachers...

  8. Inhaler Use--Is this a reasonable expectation?

    Jolie replied to sKris's topic in School

    Thank you for taking the time to calmly and rationally provide constructive feedback to the school so that improvements can be made. It sounds like they are taking your input seriously. I would...

  9. 1st grader and his inhaler

    Jolie replied to 100kids's topic in School

    Steph, Will you have a back up inhaler (and other meds) in the office? I can see how this young lady may be well versed in inhaler use and capable of self-administration due to her extreme...

  10. Encouraging peds parents to call/text the nurse during off-hours? Common occurrence?

    Jolie replied to klone's topic in Pediatric

    Not only professionally inappropriate, but potentially dangerous. These relationships can sometimes go south when a baby suffers a setback or fails to progress as hoped. Parents can become...

  11. 1st grader and his inhaler

    Jolie replied to 100kids's topic in School

    Has the dad ever visited the school or met with you in person? I wonder if the reason for his request is that he is unaware of the layout of the building and perhaps mistakenly believes that you...

  12. NP without MSN

    Jolie replied to confuzhn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, fara away....there were NP programs that involved several months of university classroom study, followed by a long "internship," often completed back in one's home...

  13. New grad to mother/baby needs advice....

    Jolie replied to navywifeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't look badly on the director for giving you this warning. I once was hired for an entry-level management position on a unit where none of the current staff wanted the job. I was warned that I...

  14. Bringing kids/hubby to work with you?

    Jolie replied to threebrats46's topic in Home Health

    Regardless of your employment status, you are legally entitled to deduct the cost of mileage (go to the IRS website to determint the amount per mile. I believe it is about $.51) If your agency does...

  15. Resume issue

    Jolie replied to irenajk1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congratulations on passing NCLEX! As someone who reviews resumes, interviews and hires on a regular basis (although no longer in healthcare), I would recommend the following: Get in touch with the...

  16. Scared of pediatrics rotation in the fall

    Jolie replied to DIVINELY FAVORED's topic in General Students

    I've never been a clinical instructor, but I have precepted numerous students of all levels in the NICU. Nothing cheeses me off faster than a student who doesn't know normal vital sign ranges and/or...

  17. Liability Insurance after retirement

    Jolie replied to onetiredmomma's topic in Retired Nurses

    Occurrence policies cover what occurred during the time the policy was in effect, even if an action is taken years after your coverage comes to an end. This is the more expensive type of coverage and...

  18. Student Immunization Question

    Jolie replied to Patti_RN's topic in School

    It's not so much who can claim an exemption, but who can obtain support for such a claim with proper documentation from a qualified medical professional. The medical exemptions I've had range from...

  19. Student Immunization Question

    Jolie replied to Patti_RN's topic in School

    The answer to this question depends upon your state law and school district policy. State law can be found on your State Dept. of Health website. District policy can be found at your administration...

  20. Something for all you school nurses...

    Jolie replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    I understand that you intend to advocate for the student by insisting that the inhaler be kept on her person. But an inhaler is not only useless, it is potentially very dangerous, in the hands of a...

  21. Pts paying for night nursery care??

    Jolie replied to mombabyRN96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You raise a good point, but fail to address the safety and care needs of infants whose mothers are unable or unwilling to care for them in their own rooms. Inarguably, there are moms who are absent...

  22. Preparing New Graduate Resume

    Jolie replied to Kay_Lynn's topic in Nursing Career

    Hope I'm not confusing the situation, but I'm going to offer opposite advice. The objective of a new grad, especially in a tight job market is to get a job. I am of the opinion that stating a job...

  23. Pts paying for night nursery care??

    Jolie replied to mombabyRN96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Newborn infants are most definitely patients of the hospital. They are issued hospital ID bands, charts, undergo medical and nursing assessments, receive medications (Vit. K and eye prophylaxis unless...

  24. Stupid teachers/principals (vent)!!!

    Jolie replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    jenhenRN, You are quite charitable in your opinion of the principal compared to my thoughts :) Sounds to me like he knows that he and the teacher both screwed up by downpaying the child's injury,...

  25. Maternity Care Plans: help?

    Jolie replied to itsdebraanne's topic in General Students

    You started out pretty strong with your list of concerns. Now you need to relate your subjective and ojective assessment data to those concens to develop your nursing diagnoses. 1. 1200 cc blood...
