  1. Clinical health insurance requirements

    Jolie replied to TnMtnRose's topic in General Students

    You didn't ask for advice or information regarding health insurance coverage via your husband's employer, so feel free to ignore :) But I believe that you have either been mis-informed or perhaps...

  2. just informed that mom wants me to drive her kids to school

    Jolie replied to kgress's topic in Private Duty

    Don't sign the waiver. Don't drive the kids. Let the new nurse have the case. A previous poster indicated that using your car for business purposes and transporting children (not your own and not a...

  3. "New" seizure precautions???

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

    As impractical as this may be (and is), it does represent the current thinking and recommended practice by those in the ivory tower whose jobs it is to make up stupid crap that bedside nurses get...

  4. A New Grad's Dilemma

    Jolie replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree with baby rn's advice and would like to suggest another avenue. Applying for a job is not the only way to get one's foot in the door, and in this economy with an overload of nurses seeking...

  5. Heat packs or hot water bottle?

    Jolie replied to 100kids's topic in School

    I like the use of heat, especially for menstrual cramps. But I don't know of any girl who is willing to use a heating pad or rice pack in class because it calls attention to the reason why it's being...

  6. Epi-Pen policy

    Jolie replied to MinnieMomRN's topic in School

    I'm short on time, so I'll give you my Reader's Digest answer. In a perfect world, there would be a nurse available to every individual having a health emergency in every school. Time and money...

  7. Epi-Pen policy

    Jolie replied to MinnieMomRN's topic in School

    All meds in our buildings must be kept in a locked cabinet. Usually, that is in the health office, which is located (centrally) within the main office. This is where most Epi-pens are kept, and they...

  8. Hepatitis shots given to micropreemies

    Jolie replied to Julie, OT's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    There are 2 commonly used brands of Hepatitis B vaccine, Engerix and Recombivax. Exposed infants also receive Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (HBIG) which offers immediate protection from infection...

  9. Hepatitis shots given to micropreemies

    Jolie replied to Julie, OT's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Any newborn infant exposed to Hepatitis B during pregnancy needs to receive the vaccine ASAP after birth. It is not administered as a routine vaccine in a newborn micro

  10. How do you get a nasal cannula to stay on 8 mo old baby

    Jolie replied to mommyneedshelp's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, wide pink tape is the best option for taping. It is hard on the cheeks and needs to be applied over a skin barrier, such as the wafers used to portect the skin under an ostomy bag....

  11. What can you run iv tylenol with.

    Jolie replied to evolvingrn's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the risk of rectal bleeding due to decreased platelets, which is common in heme/onc

  12. computer program?

    Jolie replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    We have Powerschool, which works well for e-mail. grade posting, administrative functions, but is terrible for health. Apparently it is sold to districts by touting its "extra" health functions, which...

  13. Why doesn't the NCLEX include skills demos?

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

    It is simply not feasible from the standpoint of time to conduct hands-on testing of every candidate. It is also highly unlikely that a panel of nationwide "experts" could ever agree on the proper...

  14. are the employers going to consider my scrub tech experience for my pay??

    Jolie replied to shell07's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but no. RN pay is typically based on RN

  15. Type II Diabetes Mellitus

    Jolie replied to Ted's Wife's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What is her level of understanding of her condition and management? Is there a caregiver whose understanding and actions also needs to be assessed? Please consider using a larger font and a darker...

  16. Question

    Jolie replied to WashingtonMs's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You won't have your MSN yet when you apply for new grad jobs. I hate to sound discouraging, but I wouldn't mention those plans when you interview. Many hospitals and units (especially ICUs) are wary...

  17. Question

    Jolie replied to WashingtonMs's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Depending on how you plan to utilize your MSN, the answer may be that neither is important. For a new grad, the most important thing is to land a job where you will receive an excellent and...

  18. Can't Find Varicella Vaccine Anywhere!

    Jolie replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Per the CDC: Anyone 13 or older who needs protection from these diseases should get MMR and varicella vaccines as separate shots.

  19. infection and normal WBC

    Jolie replied to clearblue3's topic in General Nursing

    There are a few possibilities. This test was done at the very onset of the infection, before the patient's immune system began to respond. If so, subsequent CBC/differentials should show increasing...

  20. Can't Find Varicella Vaccine Anywhere!

    Jolie replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Not by any route. Chicken pox is not transmitted via week-old

  21. Can't Find Varicella Vaccine Anywhere!

    Jolie replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Interesting thought. I have to check, but I don't think the MMRV is recommended for adults. In our school system, we don't accept it for varicella immunity if the student is middle school age or...

  22. Can't Find Varicella Vaccine Anywhere!

    Jolie replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    from your source: Transmission Chickenpox is a very contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. The virus spreads easily from people with chickenpox to others who have never had the...

  23. Can't Find Varicella Vaccine Anywhere!

    Jolie replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    You could have performed the public service of warning people that this doesn't work. Unless, of course, you sell snake oil and

  24. Need advice! Jeopardizing my license? Violation of hospital policy.

    Jolie replied to talrico's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't think the OP can accurately chart what you have suggested. She stated that pages to the outside physicians are not always returned, so it is not accurate to state that the physician is aware...

  25. Need advice! Jeopardizing my license? Violation of hospital policy.

    Jolie replied to talrico's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Nothing makes a malpractice attorney salivate more than evidence that hospital staff violated their own policy and procedure. If this happens, the institution might as well just write a check....
