  1. Insulin Pump Site Change - UPDATED!

    Jolie replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I worked in a public school district and yes, if an infusion set needed to be reinserted during the day, we would do so. Most of our students with pumps were capable of reinserting themselves, but we...

  2. Did I do something illegal?

    Jolie replied to NurseWC2's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The baby was choking and you relieved an airway obstruction. A comparison would be an adult DNR patient who chokes on a sandwich at lunch. In that case, would you stand by and withhold the Heimlich...

  3. Anatomy and physiology notes

    Jolie replied to shak95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Except the candid, accurate advice offered by Sour Lemon, RN. Please help us understand why you believe notes taken by strangers on the internet would be superior to your own work, or tips and advice...

  4. Need an online Beg.algebra course!

    Jolie replied to ColtonsGma's topic in General Nursing

    We can't possibly advise you as to what course your prospective college will accept. Make an appointment with the admissions representative or an academic advisor as soon as possible to get an...

  5. Therapy most used PMHNP

    Jolie replied to Malenurse12345's topic in Advanced Practice

    I'm not an NP, but work with a variety of mental health professionals in my current job. In our area, there is a great need for and serious lack of therapists trained in DBT. So much so that various...

  6. Massachusetts License by reciprocity

    Jolie replied to TrishRNNew2NH's topic in General Nursing

    If I understand correctly, you began the process of applying for licensure in MA by endorsement 8 days ago. The agency received some of your documentation by overnight delivery yesterday morning, and...

  7. Bedside ECMO training

    Jolie replied to mandee6959's topic in General Nursing

    Our ECMO team members have a minimum of 2 years NICU experience, then undergo pump training. When a baby is on ECMO, both the baby nurse and pump nurse are fully ECMO trained. I gather that is not...

  8. Grab & Go Breakfast and Life Threatening Allergies

    Jolie replied to ILoveScrubs924's topic in School

    You mention 2 students with milk/egg/wheat allergies. I don't mean to minimize your concern for the safety of these children, but I question how grab & go breakfast would be any more dangerous...

  9. giving morphine to neonate without CR monitoring

    Jolie replied to nurse296's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Frankly, I'd be more concerned about the advisability of mothers caring for withdrawing infants alone in private patient rooms, without immediate supervision and assistance. We've discussed here the...

  10. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Jolie replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    These are interesting precautions, but what would they have prevented in this situation? Checking on a baby every 30 minutes is about 25 minutes too long to prevent a suffocation. The mother in this...

  11. Are For Profit Schools really BAD?

    Jolie replied to Schneid1's topic in General Nursing

    This! Thank you for an excellent

  12. Tymphanic membrance perforation

    Jolie replied to Yukinle's topic in General Nursing

    Were his ears examined by either you or the physician immediately prior to the ear wash procedure? That would answer the question of whether the rupture occurred during the

  13. Job Dilemma: New grad, Milspouse

    Jolie replied to NurseNicole89's topic in General Nursing

    If you are offered a position of interest to you, take it, work hard, learn all you can, and hold your head up high when and IF you are required to resign due to your husband's service to our country....

  14. Pregnant and new job

    Jolie replied to R5RN's topic in General Nursing

    The OP indicated that she works for this employer in another location, so this job change is considered a transfer, not new employment. Even if it was an outright job change and new employer, that...

  15. I didn't meet the requirements.

    Jolie replied to Sylvajms's topic in General Nursing

    Please make an appointment with an advisor from the nursing program you wish to attend. Ask that person to help you schedule prerequisite classes and coach you on making a successful application to...

  16. Health science degree first?

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

    Please make an appointment with an academic advisor at 2 or 3 colleges or universities that you would consider attending for your nursing degree. Ask them to help you plan your academic courses so...

  17. Repealing ACA

    Jolie replied to OnceMorewithFeeling's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is not a marketplace of survival of the fittest. If it were, insurers would be allowed (encouraged) to innovate by crafting policies that meet their customers' needs, desires and budgets. Food,...

  18. Repealing ACA

    Jolie replied to OnceMorewithFeeling's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Muno, you are an intelligent and well-written individual. You can't possibly miss the irony of the argument you continually make that our previous catastrophic insurance plan was substandard because...

  19. Pregnant and new job

    Jolie replied to R5RN's topic in General Nursing

    Pregnancy is not your employer's business unless and until you require consideration for your or your baby's safety and well-being. When you reasonably anticipate the need for modifications (such as...

  20. Quitting during Orientation?!?!?!

    Jolie replied to mar2112's topic in General Nursing

    Please give your employers the courtesy of a face to face discussion, at which time you can hand in your resignation if you are unable to resolve your schedule differences. It is possible that there...

  21. Repealing ACA

    Jolie replied to OnceMorewithFeeling's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree that there is currently much uncertainty in the insurance market. But this is the 3rd straight year we have received notice that our insurance plan is being discontinued on December 31. Keep...

  22. Repealing ACA

    Jolie replied to OnceMorewithFeeling's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    With all due respect, Muno, I would appreciate your not assuming that you know my family's coverage status better than I do. I am well aware of the coverage of our previous and current plans, and...

  23. unnecessary postpartum preeclampsia workup with straight cath

    Jolie replied to boquiabierta's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree this patient probably would not have been subjected to a work-up had a more experienced practitioner been involved in her care. Do your residents round with an attending? Might that have been...

  24. Compact Licensure

    Jolie replied to nursealisha's topic in General Nursing

    One possible option is to work in federal facilities. If you work for the federal government, you can hold a license in any state, regardless of whether or not you are working in the state in which...

  25. Repealing ACA

    Jolie replied to OnceMorewithFeeling's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Funny. As recently as 2013, before the full implementation of Obamacare, the family policy we purchased directly from BCBS (with a premium under $600/month for a family of 4) was considered...
