  1. Tips for Mother/Baby interview

    Jolie replied to A. Nonymous's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is this your first RN position? If so, relax. In my opinion, interviewing a new grad is more about determining attitude, initiative, professionalism, etc. than about quizzing the candidate on how to...

  2. Ethical dilemma at work?

    Jolie replied to ok2bme's topic in General Nursing

    Kyrsha, I respectfully disagree. This is not akin to a pregnancy test on an ER patient with whom you have no longstanding therapeutic relationship. If the doc is concerned first and foremost with the...

    Jolie replied to ok2bme's topic in General Nursing

    Bolding mine. Thank you for summing this up very

  4. Ethical dilemma at work?

    Jolie replied to ok2bme's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea whether a "blanket" consent signed at admission would cover undisclosed pregnancy testing or not. But I question the professionalism of a psychiatric physician who would "sneak" a...

  5. Need Help Coming up with an Excuse!!

    Jolie replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think lying is ever a good plan. Tell you boss that you have a personal appointment. Without revealing too much, you are telling the

  6. Physicals for Obese Students

    Jolie replied to Allie911's topic in School

    While I understand and appreciate the PE teacher's concerns reagarding the safety of these children participating in PE as well as overall concern for their health, I know of no situation in which a...

  7. is fmla detrimental to companies/hospitals?

    Jolie replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    PRN, I believe you are mis-informed about the requirement for an employer to continue group medical coverage during FMLA. The employer must continue to provide group health coverage during a FMLA...

  8. is fmla detrimental to companies/hospitals?

    Jolie replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    This is correct and is probably the way in which previous posters have described co-workers abusing FMLA for birthday parties and weddings. If an employee has a doctor's note for intermittant FMLA...

  9. is fmla detrimental to companies/hospitals?

    Jolie replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    No. A common misconception. When the need for a leave is known in advance (such as a planned, elective surgery), the employee is required to give notice to the employer and encouraged to select a time...

  10. Students in Delivery Room

    Jolie replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's entirely up to you and your husband. If you prefer privacy, make that known, and DO NOT apologize for it. Best

  11. Diabetic care for a 5 year old kinder

    Jolie replied to geocachingRN's topic in School

    Yes, we've checked. Just as in the hospital setting, a physician may designate a dosage range based upon severity of pain, or order a titration based upon assessment findings, the insulin orders we...

  12. Diabetic care for a 5 year old kinder

    Jolie replied to geocachingRN's topic in School

    Interesting question, and a source of much debate in our district. There is 1 peds endocrinology group in our city that treats every diabetic child, so our orders are consistent and always read to...

  13. Requirements for School Nursing

    Jolie replied to skyblue1484's topic in School

    The requirements for school nursing vary from state to state and district to district. I would encourage you to check the state Board of Nursing or Department of Education websites for specifics in...

  14. Diabetic care for a 5 year old kinder

    Jolie replied to geocachingRN's topic in School

    Our district does not have a nurse in any building full time. Each building designates 1 or more para-professional(s) to receive training as a health assistant, focusing on first aid, CPR, seizure,...

  15. Career change, acute pedi to school nurse?

    Jolie replied to NeoPediRN's topic in School

    I started my career as a NICU nurse, convinced that I could never be satisfied with anything else. I loved the intensity, the technology, the adrenaline rushes, the "detective" aspect of being the...

  16. Nursing fundamentals - Activity and Exercise Question

    Jolie replied to swansonplace's topic in General Students

    Someone who is dizzy and nauseated is at risk of falling. Good thing that hasn't happened yet. You want to prevent it. So as you call for help, you help him to a sitting position, assess him to...

  17. How do you deal?

    Jolie replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    In your most polite, deferential tone of voice, gently inform Mr. Big that you are sorry for his difficulties but that you came in to discuss XYZ, and you will ask again... When that doesn't work (and...

  18. Would you leave a new job for a better offer??

    Jolie replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    You sound happy with your current job. The second offer is an unknown. I wonder why they need another new nurse so soon. I wouldn't change jobs unless there was clear and convincing evidence that...

    If you Google "Isolation precautions for herpes zoster" and choose a reputable website (CDC or a university medical center) you will find your

  20. Honors question, hiring managers please read

    Jolie replied to rachelshusband's topic in General Nursing

    Not if adding more to you plate negatively impacts your academic performance or prevents you from being able to hold a part-time health-care related job while in school or participating in an...

  21. New grad - ? re: resumes. Is one cramped page better than 2 pages?

    Jolie replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! That's a bit presumptious! Contrary to popular belief, nurse managers and business owners don't spend all their time eating pastries and drinking coffee. During my 16-hour days as a NM, I was...

  22. New grad - ? re: resumes. Is one cramped page better than 2 pages?

    Jolie replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    It's not "bad" to list it, especially if you have nothing else to list, but it's not usually helpful either. As a graduate of a state-approved school of nursing, it is expected that you will have had...

  23. New grad - ? re: resumes. Is one cramped page better than 2 pages?

    Jolie replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever had the "pleasure" of sifting thru 75 resumes to hire for a single position? While setting limitsmay not seem reasonable to a candidate who thinks his/her resume is the cat's meow, it is...

  24. New grad - ? re: resumes. Is one cramped page better than 2 pages?

    Jolie replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    i respectfully disagree with ms. cardillo's advice. as a former nurse manager and current business owner, i rarely bother reading past the first page of a resume. while the op has professional work...

  25. IV/Venipunture "Decorative Board"?

    Jolie replied to Lacie's topic in General Nursing

    You can't do it all, and this is not worth the gray hair, wrinkles and ulcers it is causing. Time for a frank conversation with your supervisor. She can either forget it, do it herself or re-assign...
