  1. need help with these questions

    Jolie replied to cwvpool's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's the way to endear yourself to the posters on AN who could help you with your homework. You will find that if you post your own thoughts, along with rationales, you will likely get enthusiastic...

  2. An odd staff member

    Jolie replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    This is a valid point. I rarely disclose my profession when seeking healthcare. I want to be educated and treated just like any other patient. When I was discharged from the hospital with my first...

  3. Question for Nurse Managers

    Jolie replied to WindRN's topic in General Nursing

    A different perspective here, maybe because of my clinical area: I managed a NICU and while I enjoyed "mentoring" job hunters, I would not have been pleased to have someone show up unannounced on the...

  4. Student nurse confused about suctioning

    Jolie replied to JSouba's topic in Pulmonary

    I believe the OP is referencing airway suctioning. Your information pertains to ng suctioning. With ng suctioning, continuous suction should never be used without a Salem tube, which allows free air...

  5. Toradol after abdominal surgery (in infants)

    Jolie replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I'll let someone with current experience answer the Toradol question. It wasn't used in my NICU days, but that was quite a while ago. There are other things that concern me more about your post....

  6. Holding me hostage! Is this fair?!?

    Jolie replied to Sugamama's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm sorry for your situation, but you have acknowledged that they are making an exception to the 6 mo. rule in your case. Anything less than 6 months should be considered a gift. Secondly, you need...

  7. Panel Interview- Your opinion greatly appreciated

    Jolie replied to WindRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    By all means, send thank-you's tonight. Don't fret too much about 1 or 2 questions, especially in a panel interview. That question may have been important to one panelist and completely meaningless...

  8. HIPPA VIOLATION???

    Jolie replied to Misstlewis's topic in General Nursing

    from previous post edited and changed by Misstlewis, "I was just asking about getting a referral to another doctor." Then please ignore all previous replies. I thought you were asking about reporting...

  9. HIPPA VIOLATION???

    Jolie replied to Misstlewis's topic in General Nursing

    If you have an issue with the rudeness of an office employee, by all means, bring it up to her and/or the practice manager. But to bring up a supposed federal violation in the process is unnecessary...

  10. HIPPA VIOLATION???

    Jolie replied to Misstlewis's topic in General Nursing

    The receptionist overhears you ask for an appointment with someone else and she interjects that you need to see the doctor because your Pap is abnormal. And you want to sue for a HIPAA violation? Go...

  11. Help with Diabetic Non-compliant Student

    Jolie replied to Allie911's topic in School

    While not ideal, what about calculating fast acting insulin coverage AFTER she eats, based upon what she has

  12. Epi-Pens

    Jolie replied to shellfrmmo's topic in School

    I am fortunate not to have to answer question #2, since Nebraska has a state law mandating the establishment of standing orders for treatment of presumed severe asthma and/or anaphylaxis, and also...

  13. First interview went great...and then this happened.

    Jolie replied to HelpMeNewGradRN's topic in General Nursing

    An experienced interviewer understands that these things happen. Thank him for calling you when you send your thank you

  14. Should I Include my Clinical Rotations in my Resume

    Jolie replied to christalmiller's topic in First Year After Licensure

    May I respectfully suggest that you tread very lightly with the idea that your clinical experiences are particularly noteworthy because of where they took place? As the "interview-ee", you will not be...

  15. HIPAA violation or not?

    Jolie replied to 2bRN4u's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Is there a policy @ your school that forbids the use of electronic devices to record

  16. Should I Include my Clinical Rotations in my Resume

    Jolie replied to christalmiller's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No. Unless you have had a unique experience that is relevant to the position for which you are applying, please don't include basic clinical rotations on your resume. It's a waste of time for a...

  17. What do you do when parent refuses to pick up student for a pink eye?

    Jolie replied to katynurs22's topic in School

    I mean no disrespect, katy, but I don't think I would have handled the situation the way you did. As I understand it, the child presented with a questionable looking eye on Tuesday. Since Mom...

  18. Safe Staffing with New Staff

    Jolie replied to MKS8806's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That was the policy of the first hospital where I worked as a new grad, and I never could understand any other facility (or administrators) believing that anything else was acceptable. OB is a 24 hour...

  19. Safe Staffing with New Staff

    Jolie replied to MKS8806's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Regardless of the number of nurses scheduled for a particular shift, there should never be more than 50% inexperienced nurses, meaning nurses with less than 2 years experience in your specialty. If 2...

  20. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    Jolie replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    My hubby used to be a mid level manager for a major food manufacturing company. You probably all have some of their products in your kitchens now. At one time, we had comprehensive health insurance...

  21. 'cattle calls' in ER waiting room?

    Jolie replied to BaptistBites's topic in Emergency

    Calling a patient by name in a health care facility is most definitely NOT a HIPAA violation. Anyone who believes this to be true really needs to bone up on HIPAA. While this law is cumbersome at...

  22. I Miss LTC

    Jolie replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Getting paid with PTO is not a perk. It is your employer forcing you to take your hard earned vacation for their financial benefit, not for your rest and relaxation as it is intended, and for which...

  23. Epi-Pen Auto Injector

    Jolie replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    It also makes it way more expensive. The auto-injector is intended for emergency use by non-medical people. It seems overkill to use it in an inpatient setting where staff should be capable of...

  24. Job Predicament- Need Advice!

    Jolie replied to ernbot's topic in General Nursing

  25. body image

    Jolie replied to cruzcontrol's topic in School

    I'm sorry to say this, but there is nothing you can print up that will make a difference. If you've started with a private conversation and not gotten anywhere, and spoke to the parents without...
