  1. Elementary students need your help

    Jolie replied to LeeAnn N's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for making math relevant to these

  2. question in regards to license

    Jolie replied to simperato's topic in General Nursing

    Most states take a dim view of allowing nursing licenses to lapse. If you don't need or want to maintain the license, please take the time to officially place it on inactive status. If you fail to...

  3. Giving info to police

    Jolie replied to Flare's topic in School

    I would seek the guidance of your principal and school district attorney before handing over any school record (health or demographic) to the police. They may have a right to it, but I would want the...

  4. School bans lunches from home

    Jolie replied to Flare's topic in School

    When I first saw this headline, I assumed I was going to read a story about yet another misguided and over-zealous attempt to protect a single child from an allergen at school. I was flabbergasted...

  5. PA Senate Bill 802

    Jolie replied to LegzRN's topic in School

    Your previous post seems inconsistent with this

  6. Help dismissed from RNprogram

    Jolie replied to olliefos's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry for the loss of your father. I understand your choice to drop the class at that time, but believe you need to accept responsibility for your performance this time around. Your post...

  7. PA Senate Bill 802

    Jolie replied to LegzRN's topic in School

    So school nursing is now an Advanced Practice Nursing Specialty because Cheryl Mattern, the President of the Pennsylvania Association of School Nurses and Practitioners, says it is? Who knew?...

  8. Nursing Priority vs First nursing action

    Jolie replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are over-analyzing. Oxygen will provide immediate, or nearly immediate comfort for the patient. Lasix, while necessary, will take longer to have an effect. Don't make your patient suffer...

  9. PA Senate Bill 802

    Jolie replied to LegzRN's topic in School

    No I don't. I wouldn't waste my time if I did. I don't live in PA and am unfamiliar with the PA Nurse Practice Act. For all I know, it requires a Master's-prepared Advanced Practice Nurse to use...

  10. PA Senate Bill 802

    Jolie replied to LegzRN's topic in School

    So are you saying that in your state, school nurses must be either Certified Nurse Midwives, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Nurse Practitioners or Clinical Nurse Specialists? These are the 4...

  11. 7 wks pregnant, offered 36 hr night position

    Jolie replied to Nursey Face's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily. In order for an employee to be eligible for FMLA under federal law, she must have worked for her employer for a minimum of 12 months, working approximately 20 or more hours per week....

  12. SPINAL SCREENINGS...

    Jolie replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    No argument that school nursing practice should be based on sound scientific rationale. But in reality, of necessity, it is based on state mandates. Woe to the district and/or nurse who ignores state...

  13. If manager asks about new job when I give notice.....do I tell????

    Jolie replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    It is never necessary and rarely helpful to disclose your future plans when resigning a position. Not to mention that it is none of your employer's business. If you would rather not disclose your...

  14. Do you work at your kid's school?

    Jolie replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    Before I accpted my school nurse job, I let my supervisor know that one of the schools I would be covering was my daughter's. (Truth in hiring, so to speak.) She grinned and said that more often...

  15. School parents want girl with peanut allergy sent home

    Jolie replied to safarirn's topic in School

    I read an article last year written by an attorney that presented the interesting perspective that the ADA requires the school to make accomodations for the allergic student, but does not require...

  16. Unethical or just plain dumb or am I missing something???

    Jolie replied to L&DRN03's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Perhaps it is the uncertainty about the ROM that led to MgSO4 treatment? As a side note, I was contracting and dilating (though not to 4cm) at 16 weeks with my third pregnancy. Membranes were...

  17. Why do newborns have more RBCs, HGB, and HCT?

    Jolie replied to Miley22's topic in General Students

    The first poster is correct, that positioning of the newly delivered infant and cord at the time of delivery can impact the baby's hemoglobin and hematocrit counts. But I doubt that is the answer the...

  18. Nurse Kept my Great Grandfathers wedding Ring

    Jolie replied to ladimandy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Please contact your state Ombudsman for long term care. By law, the facility must post information in a prominent place regarding the Ombudsman service. This is a perfect example of an issue that...

  19. Gluten-Free Cafeteria?

    Jolie replied to Spidey's mom's topic in School

    Steph, If you do a search, you'll find a fairly recent thread in which this was discussed. I had a number of kids with Celiac at my middle school, and one with both Celiac and diabetes. All of the...

  20. Applying to another compact state

    Jolie replied to kerussll's topic in General Nursing

    elkpark, I may not be stating this very clearly, but the candidate's IA license remains active and valid until the renewal comes up, and she either renews it, makes it inactive, or allows it to lapse....

  21. Applying to another compact state

    Jolie replied to kerussll's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to clarify one point: If you move to CO and receive a license there, your IA license does not become invalid, only the compact privileges attached to it. You will still be licensed in IA...

  22. pediatrics rotation

    Jolie replied to missE's topic in General Students

    I would suggest that you thoroughly review the normal growth and development of a 2 year-old. Everything from language to play to common fears to appropriate toys and diversionary activities. Also...

  23. Immunization checks by the state...

    Jolie replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    I've never experienced an audit. I doubt that our state has the manpower or funding to do so. We are required to file a report by November 1 of each year self-reporting our compliance. On that...

  24. HIPAA help

    Jolie replied to 2greeneyes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What you did was lousy from a personal standpoint, but not a HIPAA violation. You had no professional nurse-patient relationship and thus no access to, nor duty to protect your sister's confidential...

  25. Help otoscope exams for young children.

    Jolie replied to VFCnurse's topic in School

    I always ask the child if it is OK to use my special flashlight to look into their ears. They almost always say, "OK." Then I simply describe to the parents what I see, such as "the ear canal is...
