  2. Have been in the ER for 3 hrs now....

    Jolie replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Emergency

  6. pencil lead

    Jolie replied to katynurs22's topic in School

    No way am I going "fishing" for something harmless like a bit of pencil lead or small splinter. The risk of causing more harm is great and the benefits are almost non-existent. Kids hands are full...

  7. Pitocin = oxytocin = our bodies naturally produce it

    Jolie replied to klone's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think some posters here are confused because they may not understand the difference between a teratogen and an adverse outcome of childbirth. Teratogen: Any agent that can disturb the development of...

  8. What do you go by?

    Jolie replied to Flare's topic in School

    My last name is a tongue-twister. When I first met my MIL, she informed me that I was never to refer to her as Mrs. Tonguetwister, that her first name was preferred. Over the years, I have come to...

  9. Just Amazed

    Jolie replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    You did not hear the OP refer to anyone by a derogatory name. Neither did anyone else, because those words were never uttered. You came to a discussion board intended for school nurses and read a...

  10. Just Amazed

    Jolie replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    Thank you, Father above for guiding me to a district/schools where I am respected and supported by teachers and administration alike. That said, I admire you for maintaining your composure with those...

  11. New job, new pay

    Jolie replied to novicenurse11's topic in School

    Only you can decide if the pay is OK. If it is within the normal range for your area, and it is enough for you to pay your bills, then you may decide that it is acceptable. If not, then you may...

  12. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    Jolie replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm not trying to beat up on you here, but this post indicates that you do not understand the concept of public versus private areas in hospitals, and I think it is best that you get this clear before...

  13. Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

    Jolie replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    You are wise to examine your learning style and try to adapt to a method of studying that will be effective for you. I found 2 things to be particularly effective: I would recopy my notes ASAP...

  14. Is the Nursing Licensure Exam effective?

    Jolie replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that NCLEX is failing at its mission of evaluating candidates for licensure. But I think there are many nursing education programs and state boards of nursing that are dangerously close...

  15. Ethical Exam Question

    Jolie replied to oschaus's topic in General Students

    The answer to this question depends upon the policies and procedures of the clinic where the patient is receiving treatment. Basic standard of public health requires that partners be notified in a...

  16. Ethical Exam Question

    Jolie replied to oschaus's topic in General Students

    As a seasoned nurse, I think that part of the issue with this question is that younger students have no recall of a time prior to the outbreak of HIV and AIDS, and the privacy issues raised by these...

  17. Ethical Exam Question

    Jolie replied to oschaus's topic in General Students

    The accurate and timely reporting of STDs is integral to efforts to assess morbidity trends, allocate limited resources, and assist local health authorities in partner notification and treatment....

    Jolie replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    With experience as a nurse manager and in Human Resources, I will tell you not to bother with your former employers. First of all, it is not a priority for them and they are not likly to respond to...

  19. Advice, please!

    Jolie replied to mc3's topic in School

    Steph, I assume you're concerned about improper disclosure of a protected record. I don't understand that concern, though, as FERPA allows parents to view and receive copies of their children's...

  20. Advice, please!

    Jolie replied to mc3's topic in School

    I had a similar situation a while back where a kid came to school with an order for a med to be given on his way into school on certain days of the week. It made no sense to me, as it is a critical...

  21. scoop method for recapping

    Jolie replied to michelecl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry for your situation, but I don't understand why you were recapping at all, using any method. Do you not have a sharps container in each room and on your med cart? I understand your desire...

    Jolie replied to morte's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If the meds were prescribed or filled by a provider within a particular network or system, then that information would be available to any provider within the network/system. If you want to receive...

  23. Dilemma in clinical?

    Jolie replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    I agree with the previous poster, but would like to encourage all here to look at the primary nurse's actions from a different pespective: She saw a weakness, probably due to lack of experience, in...

  24. St James Chicago Heights

    Jolie replied to sj73201's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm glad to hear that you don't feel comfortable calling a manager and asking for this information. To do so would be career suicide. It will be discussed at the appropriate time during the...

  25. Dilemma in clinical?

    Jolie replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    Perhaps when you are a staff nurse, responsible for 6-8 patients and are in the middle of a sterile procedure, complicated wound dressing, preparing medications or communicating with a colleague, you...
