  1. MMR immunizations

    Jolie replied to schoolnursejennie's topic in School

    A second vaccine would serve no puprose for this student if titres indicate that she is already immune. I would be surprised if your state doesn't have an exemption for students with proven...

  2. Can you renew your RN license if you cant find a job?

    Jolie replied to ilove's topic in General Nursing

    Some states require continuing practice in order to renew licenses, in addition or in place of CEU's. For example, in NE, one must have either graduated from a basic nursing education program or taken...

  3. Job interview using a different method.

    Jolie replied to It Takes Heart's topic in General Nursing

    Phone interviews are useful to narrow down the pool of applicants. I don't believe you will be offered a job based upon a phone interview, but may be called back for a face-to-face meeting with HR...

  4. Head Lice,Head Lice, Head Lice

    Jolie replied to lissaq10's topic in School

    No classroom checks. No no-nit policy. Provide information on treatment, laundering and cleaning, encourage nightly combing, consider providing funds for the purchase of shampoo, if needed. We no...

  5. Self-care of students diabetes

    Jolie replied to lissaq10's topic in School

    I echo Rosie67's response. Insulin is a medication, and like any other medication, is authorized in the school setting ONLY with a physician order, parental consent and individualized care plan, at...

  6. Fever and Important Medical Test on Monday...still in orientation! What to do?

    Jolie replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    If I were your manager, I'd be more likely to discipline you for coming to work sick than for calling in with a legitimate illness. Ask your provider for a note and stay

  7. Allergy shots for teacher

    Jolie replied to tictac's topic in School

    In our district, the nurses are expected to take care of the needs of staff, just as they would the needs of students, under the same circumsances. This involves providing medication/treatments that...

  8. Do you think they/employers are watching what we post?

    Jolie replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need to wonder. Yes, we employers monitor employees' Facebook and other social media posts. I have dismissed 2 employees because of information they posted on fb in violation of company...

    Jolie replied to racecar's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    TCB was within low risk. (I don't know what this means.) What was the baby's weight, length and head circ? I'm assuming that with no birth trauma following a precip delivery of a big baby, mom must...

  10. Large for gestational age. care plan assist

    Jolie replied to racecar's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How old is this infant? Newly delivered? 12-24 hours? 1-2 days? I'm curious as to why no blood sugars were checked on your shift? Have they been stable for the previous 12 -24 hours, in which case...

    Jolie replied to mjmcca's topic in General Nursing

    In terms of practicing in a state without a license, there is no difference between administering flu shots and doing fingersticks/health screenings. Both involve skilled procedures, patient...

  13. Clarification. :) My Manager is Gossiping about me. What do I do?

    Jolie replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not defending the supervisor's behavior. It (again, if true) is indeed unprofessional. But I'm not understanding to what protected class the OP belongs, or how her job has been threatened by her...

  14. Unjust Cruelty: Parents moved apart after 61 yrs.

    Jolie replied to NurseCharliRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps your sisters would agree to professional mediation to help resolve this issue in a manner that is acceptable to all. Alternately, while your mother may not be capable of making decisions for...

  18. ABG question

    Jolie replied to Lbarrien's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This patient is not experiencing metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis occurs with a deficit of bicarb. This baby has a slight excess, not a

  19. ABG question

    Jolie replied to Lbarrien's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think that perhaps the point of this scenario is to teach the student that labs are meaningless without assessing the baby's condition. I agree that the low normal pH with an increased bicarb would...

  20. Just wondering - How does this cover letter look?

    Jolie replied to nurseypoo87's topic in Nursing Career

    nurseypoo87, I am not trying to be harsh, but you asked for comments. I hire people for a living (in a different field), and used to be a nurse manager. When I read resumes and cover letters, I am...

  21. Question on practicing in a state that you are not licensed in

    Jolie replied to mjmcca's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on the state and whether or not the BON offers a temporary permit to an applicant by endorsement, flu shot season may be almost over by the time you get licensed in these states. It may have...

  23. Children's Health Insurance

    Jolie replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    Google "individual health insurance plans in (your state)." Or contact your state insurance commission for a list of companies that write individual policies in your state. I was able to find a...

    Jolie replied to Nurse1966's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Jolie replied to cwvpool's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with Ashley. I would treat the pain first in the patient with vomiting. I also agree that the confused patient should be seen first in that scenario. I don't mean to minimize pain, but...
