  4. Possible Meningitis...

  5. Few questions - fundal height pre post partum and priority

    Jolie replied to jcutler's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for clarifying. Sorry I jumped to conclusions :) In reality, when you find a patient with decels, you are doing 2 or 3 things at once: turning the patient, reaching for oxygen, upping IV...

  6. termination for expired acls

    Jolie replied to benito1978's topic in General Nursing

  8. Possible Meningitis...

    Jolie replied to LACA's topic in School

  9. New Grad NICU Support Thread

    Jolie replied to niculove's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My personal opinion is that some kind of peds experience or mother-baby would be better than adult med/surg. Much of adult health/med/surg has to be "unlearned" in order to succeed in the NICU,...

  10. Hipaa and scheduled Dr.'s appointments

    Jolie replied to makes needs known's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Congratulations!

  12. i forgot the ADON's name

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

    Why would anyone be offended by a well-worded thank-you note? Most managers realize that applicants are human. If you had called my unit and asked for my name or spelling in order to send a...

    Jolie replied to schooldistrictnurse's topic in School

    I Googled "dietary accomodations for Celiac Disease in school" and found a number of good links. This one is pretty comprehensive:...

  14. Gluten free meals?

    Jolie replied to schooldistrictnurse's topic in School

    To my knowledge, the parents of students in our district with Celiac disease have always sent food from home as well. I'm not aware of anyone requesting accomodations, but I imagine the food service...

  15. Denial

    Jolie replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OMG! Can you legally refuse to comply with this request (which is clearly NOT in the best interests of the resident) while you await the arrival of Adult Protective Services? Please, Dear God in...

  16. RN use of ultrasound in fetal demise cases

    Jolie replied to April Tyler's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a patient advocate, I would have supported her decision NOT to accept cytotec unless and until she had received the confirmation she desired that her baby's heartbeat had stopped. I would have...

  17. items in the clinic

    Jolie replied to millhouse's topic in School

    No C-spine immobilizer, oxygen or Ambu bag. Although my middle school had several infant sized masks stored away in a long-forgotten cabinet. I couldn't find anyone who could tell me why,

  18. items in the clinic

    Jolie replied to millhouse's topic in School

    I have a question too, about some of the supplies listed, specifically the glucose meter (and strips and supplies). We do not have "stock" glucometers or supplies, as we can't do a fingerstick blood...

    Jolie replied to mandyc's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  22. ED safety... Bit of a rant

    Jolie replied to edrn09's topic in Emergency

    If I were working on your unit, I would carry my cell phone on my person and call 911 each and every time I witnessed a significant safety threat. The notion that only security can call the police is...

  23. Information on Affordable Health Care Act

    Jolie replied to mandyc's topic in Activism, Healthcare
