  1. Setting diabetics free

    Jolie replied to Flare's topic in School

    All of my middle schoolers were "free range." All were experienced diabetics and had detailed plans made prior to the start of school during a meeting with the principal, myself, key teachers,...

  2. Another OB Interview, Brainstorming!

    Jolie replied to RaziRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For the most part, I think your answers are well thought out, and positive. Nothing worse than a prospective OB nurse who gushes about how s/he just loves babies! It's critical to emphasize the...

  3. Help getting sick kids picked up

    Jolie replied to bsyrn's topic in School

    I don't understand why she is still in your office, or why you need to speak to a parent before sending an apparently healthy child back to class. If I see a child with a runny nose and no other...

    Jolie replied to SchoolNurseBSN's topic in School

    Chloe, While you may meet the qualifications for your district's "health" position, you do not meet the legal requirements to use the protected title of "nurse." To call oneself a nurse, one must...

  5. Sent Home Sick

    Jolie replied to meeka720's topic in School

  6. Orientation without an orientor....

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

    No wonder they had openings. Not only is this unsafe, it is probably contrary to the facility's own policy and procedure as well as Board of Nursing requirements. Many State Boards set forth minimum...

    Jolie replied to tinozc's topic in General Nursing

    Where do you plan to live after obtaining your CA license? If you relocate from NH to CA, you will have no choice but to give up the multi-state aspect of your NH license. Compact licenses are good...

  8. Quick question re: thank you cards

    Jolie replied to StillSeeking's topic in General Nursing

    Please send the thank-you's, regardless of whether you know the last names or not. You did the responsible and professional thing by trying to get their last names, but I also understand why the...

  9. Kindergarteners and Cologne

    Jolie replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I"ve not noticed this as a problem with the little ones, but the middle school girls (in my experience) and high school girls (according to my daughter) are going way over board. Given the known...

  11. What is an indwelling IV?

    Jolie replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    Are these homework questions? Knowing the definition of the words "indwelling" and "IV", can you venture a guess? Why do you think it would be important for an anesthesia care provider to interview...

  12. Parents not giving ADHD meds...how far should we go?

    Jolie replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I had a grade school student who came in to my office near the end of the school year last spring with an authorization from Mom and doctor to receive a critical med on his way into school on 2 set...

    Jolie replied to rockabye's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It's also important to note that not all lancets are created equally. Be sure you are using one intended for larger babies. You lab probably stocks them, but the NICU may not, since big chubby...

    Jolie replied to FLancaster11's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    According to APA, the corect way to list credentials is degree first, professional title, then cerifications. For example, Nancy Nurse, BSN, RN, CEN I would recommend using your RN credential on your...

  15. mom upset about asthma

    Jolie replied to katynurs22's topic in School

    I can't say whether or not Mom is exaggerating, but it does sound like there is little understanding or consensus among Mom, the student, you and the teachers. Please consider scheduling a team...

  16. RN from NC moved to IL/IA area Endorsement Question

    Jolie replied to TheEmmyRN's topic in General Nursing

    The compact aspect of your license remains in effect only when you live in a compact state. Now that you've moved to IL (which is not a compact state), you lose the compact privileges of your NC...

  17. STD teaching.

    Jolie replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    If STD teaching is your ultimate goal (and it's an important one), I would stick to teaching and not bother with a survey. You can probably safely assume that by middle school age, you have sexually...

  18. Should I have my own malpractice insurance?

    Jolie replied to luvapug's topic in School

    Yes, they can. that's why liability insurance is important. Some plaintiffs (and their attorneys) may decide that you don't have enough assets to bother going after, but if an injured party needs...

  19. Local traveler 18 weeks pregnant

    Jolie replied to kimtab's topic in Travel

    Would you consider taking a shorter than normal contract or a per diem contract? As a manager, I wouldn't be willing to work language into a contract allowing the traveler to bow out early without...

  20. Incorporating as a nurse

    Jolie replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    Being self-employed and working as a contractor also means that you will need to carry your own liability insurance, pay for your own workers' comp policy, pay the entire SS contribution (13% versus...

    Jolie replied to DistrictNurse19's topic in School

    So the kid gets a runny nose when she eats milk, eggs or soy, requiring extensive accomodations from the school in order to prevent a lawsuit from the parents? Our district requires certification of...

  22. Help!-What can we feed this kid?

    Jolie replied to DistrictNurse19's topic in School

    Is this child newly enrolled in your school? Or are these newly-diagnosed allergies? What does s/he eat at home for lunch and snacks? What did s/he eat at her former school? What does the doctor's...

  23. Ethical Issue -Missing Prescriptions

    Jolie replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to learn of your situation. I completely understand the need for caution in investigating the loss of these narcotics, but I don't understand why your physician wouldleave you without...

  24. Opinion vs. legality -- a rant

    Jolie replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

    How so? Unless I missed something, there is nothing in the original post to indicate that this student was engaging in a "free-for-all." I highly doubt that she showed up at a random hospital on a...

  25. Opinion vs. legality -- a rant

    Jolie replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

    That poster did not limit herself to declaring the illegality of a student scrubbing in surgery. She went on to state that students were not legally allowed to participate in patient care of any...
