  1. Can someone educate me about FMLA, please?

    Jolie replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a former nurse manager and now an employer in a different field, may I offer some suggestions regarding FMLA, especially as it applies to pregnancy, where the need for leave is known well in...

  2. Advice from Nurse Managers, please

    Jolie replied to Nursetastic's topic in General Nursing

    Orienting a new employee is costly and ties up experienced staff. If you are certain that this position is not for you, I applaud your willingness to speak up now, while costs and disruption to unit...

  3. Resume Critique...Any help would be much appreciated!

    Jolie replied to deathisastar13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please delete this information and re-post your resume and cover letter without your personal and professional identifying

  4. Australian Home Birth Advocate Dies After Childbirth

    Jolie replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think the same as I thought prior to reading the article. Women (couples)should be free to choose the location and circumstances of childbirth. We don't legislate a standard course of "treatment"...

  5. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    Jolie replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please don't assume that nurses are a monolith regarding any issue, let alone one as sensitive as abortion. I have no desire to interfere with adult women obtaining contraceptive services, or minor...

  6. Should I get my LPN license while im in nursing school?

    Jolie replied to countrychic01's topic in General Students

    My question is, "Why do you think you can get an LPN license during your RN program?" It was once fairly common for RN students to be allowed to sit for LPN boards after completing the first half of...

  7. oh lice!

    Jolie replied to Flare's topic in School

    Lice don't jump and thus aren't communicable in the school setting, so no legitimate reason to exclude. The only exception (in my mind) is a case where the child is itching so badly as to be unable to...

  8. policy questions

    Jolie replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    Our district policy broadly states that students may be sent home for evidence of undiagnosed/untreated communicable conditions. That leaves a lot up to our discretion. If a student has one loose...

  9. Should a resume only be one page?

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

    In a word, yes. As a former nurse manager and now hiring manager in a different field, I respectfully disagree with the previous posters. Unless you have years of education and experience, a 1 page...

  10. HIPAA violation?

    Jolie replied to bwhite41's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm sorry, but your account is confusing. Who is "him" bolded above? Why was he in the room while you were doing personal care on a patient? Who is "everyone" and why were they present? Did the...

  11. nursing licenses

    Jolie replied to adpiRN's topic in Travel

    adpi, I would suggest using your time now to research states where you may wish to travel. Some issue licenses by endorsement fairly quickly, others take months. IL, for example is notoriously slow,...

  12. Nursing teachers being biased?

    Jolie replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    Have you considered the possibility that she either didn't receive your e-mail, or inadvertently overlooked it? I understand your frustration, but don't think it is reasonable to jump to conclusions...

  13. Community College or State School

    Jolie replied to rayneg's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please speak with your high school guidance counselor and ask him/her to help you set up "official" (not informal) visits to both institutions. The distinction between an official and informal visit...

  14. Ashma Management in school children

    Jolie replied to girliegirlRN's topic in School

    I agree with MinnieMom that there is no generic management plan that would fit all students with asthma, and also agree that if you are seeing a student multiple times per week, let alone twice a day,...

  15. Very important concern regarding FAFSA and my school

    Jolie replied to cutelatina's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We are just beginning to explore colleges and funding for my daughter, who is a high school junior, so I am far from an expert on the subject, but as I understand it: After you complete and submit...

  16. Legal question about MA's and injections

    Jolie replied to Wozthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    It is my understanding that MAs practice and perform any number of "advanced" skills without a license because they are acting as the "hands of the physician" and practicing directly under his/her...

  17. Seven-year-old girl dies of peanut allergy at school...

    Jolie replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    caregiver1977, Thank you for raising an interesting point. There are a number of schools that have gone to the (unnecessary) extreme of "banning" certain foods in the mistaken belief that they are...

  18. When to not read too much into the question.....and answers

    Jolie replied to HelloM1M1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    2 year olds can get anything open. If you doubt that, just hand one a child safety pill bottle. There should never be anything in front of a window that encourages climbing or enables a child to...

  19. New Grad with no clue of what to expect in offer letter.

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

    Not knowing your geographical location, type & size of facility, title of position, hours, etc. it is impossible to make any estimates of what you can expect to be offered. A job offer letter...

  20. Nursing Diagnoses for the Amish Community

    Jolie replied to SamB12rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I question your impression of the Amish community's practices regarding obtaining prenatal care. I lived and worked in an area with a large Amish community, and while many Amish women chose to...

  21. Seven-year-old girl dies of peanut allergy at school...

    Jolie replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    Per federal law, a public school can not refuse a student's Epi-pen, as they can not refuse to accept and care for individuals with disabilities. In some instances, private schools can (and do) refuse...

  22. Seven-year-old girl dies of peanut allergy at school...

    Jolie replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    I appreciate your feeling on the subject, but the State Boards of Nursing, Pharmacy and Medicine "feel" differently. Medications administered in any setting other than the home by anyone other than...

  23. Seven-year-old girl dies of peanut allergy at school...

    Jolie replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    I'd like to respond to some of the points raised here. I live and work in NE, and can't speak to local or state laws, but the concepts covered in this topic are primarily answered in federal law. A...

  24. Seven-year-old girl dies of peanut allergy at school...

    Jolie replied to caregiver1977's topic in School

    caregiver1977, I respectfully disagree with your comments. Having this child in a private school or homeschool setting would not have prevented the circumstances that led to her tragic death. Kids...

  25. Possibly relocating to the Omaha, NE area: looking for suggestions.

    Jolie replied to fltrn2008's topic in General Nursing

    For a relatively small city, Omaha has excellent health care. Two hospitals share trauma duties, the NE Med. Center and Creighton (which the locals sometimes refer to as St. Joe's Hospital.)...
