  1. Can't Find Varicella Vaccine Anywhere!

    Jolie replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    Urban myth. Chicken pox is a respiratory virus, transmitted by airborne route. Licking a lollipop, while gross and disgusting, won't cause a case of chicken

  2. How to mention pending offers while interviewing for nurse positions

    Jolie replied to JKM88's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Mentioning your pending offer at your Chicago interview will do nothing to move the Chicago process along any faster. Far better for you to be honest with the first prospective employer. Let them...

  3. Recurrent Syncope in Classroom Setting

    Jolie replied to shellfrmmo's topic in School

    Home schooling seems extreme. There are other conditions which can cause a student to suddenly loose bodily control, including seizures. I daresay there must be at least one student with seizures...

  4. Do you replace MIC-KEY buttons??

    Jolie replied to skoolrn's topic in School

    Yes. We do this in our district with a doctor's standing order, parental consent and proper advance training of the nurses. Our support staff is wonderful about contacting us immediately and setting...

  5. Is this normal?

    Jolie replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be concerned that this might represent a complication of IV therapy. If the patient is still hospitalized, the site should be assessed, a set of vitals taken and the physician notified. If...

  6. facility responsibility to the obese

    Jolie replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate the explanations and understand the need for progress and participation towards a rehabilitation goal. I'm probably either dense or hard-headed, but I still don't understand how a...

  7. facility responsibility to the obese

    Jolie replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I just don't understand the difference. Hubby's elderly aunt was in a skilled facility post hip fracture. She was terribly depressed and her pain was not properly managed. She refused to...

  8. facility responsibility to the obese

    Jolie replied to onthemark's topic in General Nursing

    If a resident lives in a LTC facility receiving public benefits to pay for medically necessary care, is it not possible to dismiss the resident for gross failure to comply with a reasonable treatment...

  9. am I covered by my facility when transporting?

    Jolie replied to shisquy's topic in General Nursing

    More importantly, you should be adequately trained before attempting a transport by yourself. ACLS certification and ICU experience within a facility are a good start, but there are plenty of factors...

  10. student physicals

    Jolie replied to schoolnursejennie's topic in School

    That makes much more sense! I've lived in 2 states and had my kids in 3 different school districts and have never heard of a requirement for a yearly physical for PE participation. If that were the...

  11. Do they not want the truth in exit interviews?

    Jolie replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Generally speaking, no, they don't. It is a rare circumstance when a problem that leads an employee to resign is not already known to the powers that be. Either they are working on it, or not, but...

  12. How would I address a firing?

    Jolie replied to Izzy11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Get a copy of that evaluation to take with you to future interviews to support your explanation that your termination was related to a "frazzled" moment with a state surveyor. My very best to you....

  13. Help with IHP/EAP

    Jolie replied to Mommaof 4SN's topic in School

    I second the suggestion of contacting the child's parents and healthcare providers for information. I had a student last year with a very rare syndrome that is usually fatal early in life. I could...

  14. is resume servide reliable?

    Jolie replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Is there a community college near you? Many offer job placement services and assistance for a small fee. Or, do you still live near the school from which you

  15. Teacher gripe/vent

    Jolie replied to MinnieMomRN's topic in School

    Good for you! Sounds like a teaching moment I would use with my teen age daughter. I wanted to say, "blah...blah...blah..." but instead, I put on my best fake smile and just thanked the teacher for...

  16. Gastric lavage in healthy term newborn??

    Jolie replied to flarson's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I started in the NICU in 1986 and worked in various aspects of OB/NICU thru 1998. This must be VERY old school, because I never saw it routinely done. The one and only order I ever had for gastric...

  17. Any ideas for this student?

    Jolie replied to jnurse74's topic in School

    My long term goal would be to have him re-evaluated medically. I have had a number of students taken off ADD/ADHD drugs because their growth was negatively impacted. This poor kid only has so many...

  18. Chicken pox

    Jolie replied to Rosie67's topic in School

    I would suggest contacting the local health department for advice and assistance. Ours is very helpful in contacting doctor's offices to confirm communicable disease diagnoses and then advising us on...

  19. NCLEX: Interventions for Late Decelerations

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

    I hate these artificial questions, because, in reality, you CAN turn off the pit as you assist the patient to her L side, and reach up and start the O2 at the same time. But, if forced to choose, I...

  20. how to deal with workplace harassment in LTC

    Jolie replied to sabatical's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is a specific definition of workplace harassment. Please familiarize yourself with it. Throwing around serious accusations because someone does not like you is not only inaccurate, it won't...

  21. "true knot"

    Jolie replied to LouisVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've known of 2. The first was my co-worker who suffered a full term fetal demise. The knot was found at delivery. The second was a pre-term mom, about 30 weeks who complained to her OB that she...

  22. General Question about Salmonella

    Jolie replied to spacecitygroover's topic in General Nursing

    I think the answer is, "It depends." If a person ingests only a small colony of bacteria, s/he may have a strong enough immune system to overcome the bacteria and prevent an infection. If the same...

  23. Interview questions for assitant nurse manager job

    Jolie replied to Laborgirl11's topic in Nursing Career

    I understand your desire to get the job, but would encourage you to think more about how you can succeed in the job if you get it. Towards that end, remember that an interview is a 2-way street....

  24. right or wrong or in between?

    Jolie replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    Not trying to belabor a point, just trying to understand.... If your district has stock meds and standing orders, why were there no meds @ the middle school? Did the school fail to provide them? Had...

  25. right or wrong or in between?

    Jolie replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    A couple of questions: What are the requirements for meds in your district? Must you have a specific order from the child's own healthcare provider? Who provides the meds? Are there any standing...
