  1. Puberty class agreement.....

    Jolie replied to LACA's topic in School

    We always schedule our "talks" for the end of the day on Friday. The kids leave the building directly after the presentation, and by the time Monday comes around, the interest level had died...

  2. Breach of Confidentiality?

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

    Your instructor is way off the mark and it is unfortunate that she is sharing her lack of understanding with students. It is not a confidentiality breach to acknowledge an aquaintance while in the...

  3. Information on transferring a license, nearly impossible to find

    Jolie replied to jratclif's topic in Retired Nurses

    The homepage of the Arizona Board of Nursing includes a link to download an application for licensure. Perhaps you are confused by the terminology. There is no such thing as "transferring" a license....

  4. Potential dream job AFTER I started orientation (beware, really long)

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

    I'm not trying to be a Negative Nellie here, but think that a small dose of reality is warranted. Yes, it is great that your mentor is recommending you for her job and wants you to know about it...

  5. No boundaries with staff

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

    this is the toughest one, because it is out of your hands. if your supervisors refuse to grant you authority equal to your responsibility, then you might as well tender your resignation. i suggest...

  6. School Nursing on CBS Early Show Monday AM

    Jolie replied to bergren's topic in School

    There isn't a shortage of school nurses. There is a shortage of schools which employ a nurse on a full-time or even a part-time basis. Standards for nursing in the school setting differ greatly from...

  7. Consent based on trust? what does it mean?

    Jolie replied to miniangel729's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is just a guess... The study involved detecting infections in IV catheters after removal from PICU patients. Since the study did not in any way involve patient care or decision making, I'm...

  8. straddling the fence

    Jolie replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    my mentor was cathy r. of rock hill, sc. she was a wonderful manager and teacher

  9. Epi Pen makes a good day

    Jolie replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Nursing

    They're powerful little gadgets! When we do training for our school district, we "deploy" an expired Epi-pen into a Tupperware container to show the staff just how forceful they are. It's always a...

  10. straddling the fence

    Jolie replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    You don't straddle the fence, because you don't belong on their side anymore. I think a better reference would be a ladder. You are now a rung up from your staff nurse friends and colleagues. You...

  11. Methotrexate in an OB setting

    Jolie replied to FLOBRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When diagnosed early, the ectopic pregnancy is confined to the fallopian tube and small enough that the tube is not in danger of rupture. Methotrexate is given to stop the growth of rapidly dividing...

  12. do RN residency programs really make a difference?

    Jolie replied to gummibear's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that magnet status and a residency program are no guarantee of "nice" co-workers, but I do strongly encourage new grads to seek out employment in a facility with a well-established orientation...

  13. Can RNs renew their license when they haven't work as an RN for a while?

    Jolie replied to 50kn's topic in General Nursing

    It is fortunate that you are in a state that does not require continuing practice. NE requires a mnimum of 500 hours of professional practice over a 5 year period, in addition to CEUs for renewal. A...

  14. When job-hunting, when/how to ask for time off

    Jolie replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I interview and hire for our family business. Now, most of our candidates are not college educated professionals, but I believe the same principles apply, to a certain extent. In this market, I would...

  15. Choosing Good LPN School in/near Chicago?

    Jolie replied to CS21's topic in Illinois Nursing

    This link lists IL State approved LPN education programs. Have you considered any community colleges, which would probably be significantly less expensive than a proprietary school? Have you sought...

  16. Pregnancy Test????

    Jolie replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    I would not do so. I am not a licensed diagnostician. I would attempt to facilitate a conversation between a girl and her parents, or make an appropriate referral to a physician or clinic, and...

  17. Pulse Ox Recommendation?

    Jolie replied to al586's topic in General Nursing

    Buying new gear every year does not protect you from liability. Unless your personal equipment is inspected, tested and tagged on a regular basis according to facility policy by the biomedical...

  18. Have you CYA if you make a "note" that a patient won't follow policy?

    Jolie replied to peeweedelivery's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. Charting MVU's

    Jolie replied to VagabondRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not to mention their infection

  20. Statement of Purpose Question

    Jolie replied to quietpatty's topic in General Nursing

    As an employer, I would be most impressed by a heartfelt essay describing what you have to offer the institution, the unit, the patients and the community at large. Nothing is too small to consider,...

  21. Looking for job - past job reference iffy - how can I check before using?

    Jolie replied to tralalaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would recommend calling the manager or HR yourself and ask what they would say in a reference. If they are willing to give a positive or neutral reference, ask them to put it in writing for you to...

  22. Medical Malpractice and Tort Reform

    Jolie replied to synergy89's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe you will find that the experienced nurses here are happy to help with homework when we see that the OP has first put considerable thought and effort into completing the assignment, as this...

  23. Statement of Purpose Question

    Jolie replied to quietpatty's topic in General Nursing

    As much as we'd like to help, we can't possibly answer this question for you. We know nothing about you, your life experiences, qualifications, ambitions or what you can offer this institution. Nor...

  24. Medical Malpractice and Tort Reform

    Jolie replied to synergy89's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "By reforming malpractice laws and limiting cases to those that are only "wanton and willful" criminal acts, overall access to health care will increase." Qoute from original paper, above. You lost...

  25. was I too harsh

    Jolie replied to mycsm's topic in School

    No, not too harsh. My tongue in cheek advice to teachers was not to send a student to my office unless they were bleeding out their eyeballs. Then... You guessed it...I had a precious little...
