  1. things NOT to say in an L&D interview

    Jolie replied to vastudent09's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree. You can emphasize your love of patient teaching, caring for the entire family unit, a fast-paced environment, "thinking on your feet", etc. If you bring up your delivery experience, you also...

  2. what do you wear on your job?

    Jolie replied to emille's topic in School

    I worked for an agency and was contracted into 4 schools, so I was not a school district employee, either. My agency dress code was either business casual or scrubs. No jeans ever, even if the school...

  3. Probably a dumb question from a nursing student

    Jolie replied to cmars555's topic in Operating Room

    This statement is not correct. Students are not licensed, period! They practice under the direct supervision and direction of clinical nursing instructors, clinical nursing preceptors, advanced...

  4. Getting thrown under the bus

    Jolie replied to Sugarcoma's topic in General Nursing

    ALWAYS have a second RN confirm a phone order. Simply say, "Dr. So and So, I understand that you would like me to order XYZ. Is that correct? Please hold the phone for Nurse Jane, who will confirm...

  5. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    Jolie replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    I did not judge the student. I gave feedback to the OP based upon the objective information she provided (that her friend ended the semester with a 76 average, needing a 77 to pass). I have no idea...

  6. Can a hospital legally force you to get your bsn if you are an adn

    Jolie replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

    This is common in other professions. Teachers in many districts are given a set amount of time to obtain a Master's Degree or be

  7. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    Jolie replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    There is nothing wrong with being outraged, but please respond gracefully to your emotions. Your friend did not fail because of 1 question. She failed because of a semester-long pattern of marginal...

  8. Huge Dilemma...please help!

    Jolie replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree that the interview is priority #1. Please contact your program director and explain the situation, as well as your parents' travel plans. Ask if s/he would pin you privately in her office at...

  9. Is it okay/appropriate to make a home-cooked gift to instructors?

    Jolie replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing wrong, in my opinion. If you want to avoid all appearances of favoritism, make enough for your classmates as well. And me. I love cookies

  10. Can I be a CRNA with Malignant Hyperthermia?

    Jolie replied to guest_57352's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That's a question for your healthcare provider to

  11. Job reference told of on job injury - legal?

    Jolie replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you specifically limit the information that an employer may reveal, it is perfectly legal for them to provide truthful information regarding your employment. If you were injured on the job and...

  12. Gardasil

    Jolie replied to mnbrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are risks and benefits to every medical treatment, vaccines included. In response to the OP's question, I would suggest going to your school or public library and doing a Medline search on theis...

  13. Parents won't send inhaler to school

    Jolie replied to pvtschoolnurse's topic in School

    I was new to my grade school last year and noted that a 5th grade student who had previously had an inhaler @ school did not have one last year. I contacted the mom and expressed my concern, but mom...

  14. policy on throwing up

    Jolie replied to frann's topic in School

    I'd be surprised to read a policy that required students to be sent home for vomiting, in the absence of any other s/s of illness. Our district has a policy that students will be excluded from school...

  15. Immunization issues!

    Jolie replied to fireball98's topic in School

    How old is this child? Do the parents have anything (discharge papers, card, etc.) from the newborn hospital stay that would indicate whether or not the Hep B shot was given? If the parents send a...

  16. Immunization issues!

    Jolie replied to fireball98's topic in School

    Please check with your state Board of Health. In NE, simply having the correct number of doses of a vaccine isn't good enough. The doses must be timed according to state mandates, or we must...

  17. Where can I find Varicella vaccines?

    Jolie replied to April13RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I meant :) I understand the difficulty in taking these children to an office for services that can be provided in the home setting. I just wondered if the doctor couldn't bring the doses...

  18. help with a symbol for diapers??

    Jolie replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I think what you're seeing is a notation of the quantity of wet or dirty diapers changed during a particular time frame. Remember way back to nursing school, when 1 of something was noted like the...

  19. Where can I find Varicella vaccines?

    Jolie replied to April13RN's topic in General Nursing

    Does the physician who is doing the physicals have an office? Most primary care doctor's offices carry the

  20. And we wonder why the students can't follow directions...

    Jolie replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    Perhaps part of the problem is "deputizing" a teacher to administer a medication on short notice or on an occasional basis. That doesn't seem like a good method of adequately covering medication...

  21. Educating about puberty?

    Jolie replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    LACA, I understand and agree that receiving matter of fact information from Mom is a whole lot different than being "educated" by a newly-knowledgable 5th grader on the bus. But I also agree it seems...

  22. Educating about puberty?

    Jolie replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Forgot to mention that parents are invited to preview the presentation and/or attend. About 1/2 do so. Out of 3 schools, I can only recall one or two parents declining permission for their children...

  23. Educating about puberty?

    Jolie replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    Spoke to 4th grade girls about menstruation. Built upon that with 5th grade girls to "connect all the dots" from puberty to conception and pregnancy. The boys are spoken to in 5th grade, by a male...

  24. Feelin overwhelmed by the Paperwork

    Jolie replied to elemnurse's topic in School

    We were fortunate to start our school year about 2 weeks ahead of students, so we used that time to begin care plans/emergency plans on students with known needs. We also had a supply of "standard"...

  25. Missing Daytonite

    Jolie replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I think she would tell you to hold your head high and be confident. Best to
