  1. Clinic Log

    Jolie replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in School

    You're right, it is interesting to learn how others use this program. Imms can be entered by the secretary, health aid or nurse, but must be verified by the nurse. Other, "less critical"...

  2. Clinic Log

    Jolie replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in School

    Another thing about PowerSchool: Maybe this only applies to our district, since we have made significant changes to the program, but on the page where we document imms, physicals, health...

  3. Clinic Log

    Jolie replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in School

    We also use PS and have spent an incredible amount of time with district IT staff making it workable and usable. The standard program is not very practical or user-friendly for school health...

  4. Clinic Log

    Jolie replied to SchoolRN,BSN's topic in School

    Just curious: What is the legal objection to a running log? If it is a privacy concern, isn't that answered by limiting access to the log to the nurse only? If a note is sent back to the teacher for...

  5. Putting a mask on a spitter

    Jolie replied to NotFlo's topic in General Nursing

    Your example differs for 2 reasons. First, when it is necesary to gently and temporarily restrain a patient while inserting an IV or Foley catheter, you are doing so to protect the patient from...

  6. RN-BSN clinicals in OR

    Jolie replied to dcox1000's topic in Operating Room

    It is my understanding that this does not constitute a HIPAA violation. You must take every reasonable precaution to protect private patient information, within the limitations of the setting in which...

  7. Advice on entering school nursing

    Jolie replied to potomacpedsRN's topic in School

    As a new grad RN 25 years ago, I bucked the trend and started in the NICU. It was a wonderful experience in a very well managed unit where we were set up to succeed. There was a large RN staff, new...

  8. Texas air ambulance crash..2 flight nurses killled

    Jolie replied to CT Pixie's topic in General Nursing

    May they rest in peace, having given their lives in an attempt to save

  9. Thanks for ruining my holiday ....

    Jolie replied to Peeker19's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry for your disappointment, and can understand your frustration at having your day start off with bad news. But I seriously doubt they called to tell you that you are a "loser." While you may...

  10. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    Jolie replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can only speak to the standards of practice in NC at the time I worked in L&D there, during the 1990's. At that time, care of a patient with an epidural catheter was a "Category II" procedure,...

  11. Med surg or straight to Peds?

    Jolie replied to arenasmith's topic in Pediatric

    If peds is your interest, and you believe this to be a good unit with adequate support for a new grad, then take it. Long gone are the days when med/surg can or should serve as a training ground for...

  12. Priority Nursing diagnosis Second Stage Labor

    Jolie replied to MyBrainIsFull's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1. Safety 2.

  13. PO Vitamin K?

    Jolie replied to VTBabyNurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Has the physician indicated that s/he will delay the circ for lack of IM vitamin

  14. Minor Changes On allnurses.com...

    Jolie replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    I agree about the "What's New" option. On AN-Central, it often informs me that there are no new threads, but to "click here" for recent posts to existing threads. I don't like having to go thru 2...

  15. Lost job over HIPAA violation, what is employment potential?

    Jolie replied to RockyMountainHigh's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What would possess a professional nurse to whip out a cell phone and photograph a patient? If there was a justifiable reason to photograph a patient, and consent had been obtained, a hospital-owned...

  16. Just wondering -- what is the "cost" of hiring new grads?

    Jolie replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another "hidden" cost of a new hire (not just a new grad) is the cost of benefits paid during the time that the employee is not yet "productive." Many health insurance plans begin on day 1 of...

  17. is it ok if i write on somebody else's nursing notes and then she/he would sign it?

    Jolie replied to pennylane18's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Under extreme situations in our NICU, we would occasionally have the treating nurse dictate to a transcribing nurse as the care was being given, so that a complete and accurate record was immediately...

  18. Epidural management in RN scope of practice?

    Jolie replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for your kind words and vote of confidence in your RN colleagues! But please understand that you position disagrees with that of some state boards of nursing and professional organizations:...

  19. Resume dilemma (resigned new job after 4 months)

    Jolie replied to TrixieRN1's topic in General Nursing

    A resume is intended to be a brief and objective overview of your education, work and other pertinent history, such as dates, places, responsibilities and achievements. It shouldn't be used to explain...

  20. $12.81 an hour - RN School Nurse

    Jolie replied to DelanaRN's topic in School

    In my area, school nurses start at about twice that salary. I'd never tell another person what to accept or not accept, but I would not work in a professional capacity for that amount. School health...

  21. Here goes nothing!

    Jolie replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    Good luck! It was't my job, was it? I signed out today. Very sad day, indeed, as I loved my job. But other obligations call. I hope I'm able to return someday, and wish you the very best as you...

  22. Oh dear.

    Jolie replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    Along with advertising wait times on line and on bill boards, how about a "ticker" that compares the cost of an unnecessary ER visit versus the cost of a PCP or urgent care

  23. Nursing Education, Not Training!!

    Jolie replied to scoochy's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a generational thing. My mom is 75 and was educated in a diploma program. She still refers to this as her nurse's training. What used to drive me nuts was my MIL constantly referring to...

  24. Medication errors

    Jolie replied to asluss's topic in General Nursing

    There is another current thread about Pharmacy now doing MARs in the poster's LTC facility and the incredible number of mistakes, due in part, to the confusing way the orders are transcribed. As I...

  25. "The Death Shift" (true crime book about nurse/serial killer)

    Jolie replied to rph3664's topic in General Nursing

    I read the book about Genene Jones years ago, and it sparked my interest in true crime stories. If anyone ever checked by library record, they would probably think I'm planning some kind of horrible...
