  1. School favoring its own grads?

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

    To some extent, that is probably true. Hospitals affiliated with nursing education programs have the advantage of having familiarity with those new grad applicants. For applicants, that can be a...

  2. Should I renew my licence now?

    Jolie replied to zakuro's topic in General Nursing

    A very wise nursing instructor once cautioned us never to allow our initial license expire, if at all possible. If you have the CEUs, current practice and other requirements needed, I would strongly...

  3. stupid documentation!

    Jolie replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

  4. Caught a big med error!

    Jolie replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for posting your experience, Nicki. It's a good reminder for all of us! I'm going to step up high on my soapbox now and point out how this med error was not, and probably would not be caught...

  5. stupid documentation!

    Jolie replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

    there's nothing unkind about an objective correction. had dudette mocked my intelligence, education, experience, professionalism or practice (as other posters did in regard to your examples), she...

    edit.

  8. stupid documentation!

    Jolie replied to NC29mom's topic in General Nursing

    i wouldn't bring this up, except that you have posted about others' poor grasp of the english language, including grammar and proper word usage. do you really "documentate?" i agree that your...

  9. Meaning of initials K.P. on collar of vintage nurses cape

    Jolie replied to aveumluhe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You might want to post on the Illinois and Indiana forums to see if anyone can identify former nursing programs with the initials of KP. At one time there were literally dozens, if not hundreds of...

  10. Escorting patients to labor

    Jolie replied to rickdon19's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the hospitals where I've worked, pre-registered patients came directly to the maternity unit. Those who weren't pre-registered came thru the ER, so no need for any expectant mom to stop in...

  11. thermometer feedback

    Jolie replied to Needsmorechocolate's topic in School

    I have the Exergen temporal scanner at home and hate it. Following the instructions, I'll try 2 or 3 times to take my kids' temps and get 2 or 3 widely varying readings. It's also awkward to...

  12. Is HESI Req'd to graduate?

    Jolie replied to AZCodeBlue's topic in Arizona Nursing

    OK. We were talking about 2 different things...walking at graduation ceremony versus actually meeting the requirements for graduation. If your state allows graduate nurses to work in a professional...

  13. Is HESI Req'd to graduate?

    Jolie replied to AZCodeBlue's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not sure I understand your response. How is it possible to graduate if you have not yet completed the credits required for your BSN degree? If you are required to score 900 on HESI in order to be...

  14. Ahh, yes, Field Day...

    Jolie replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in School

    My grade schoolers all go to the high school for one big field day. I love it. The high school nurse gets all the bumps, bruises, up-chuckers, etc. On the other hand, my 5th graders had career day...

  15. What do you all think of Single Payer HealthCare-Universal healthcare in CA

    Jolie replied to MarieStevens's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The federal government argued that Ma Bell, as a monopoly, was bad for the American people, and broke it up. The feds were right. By breaking up a monopoly, costs dropped and quality rose. If a...

  16. Toradol - pt with potential renal failure - would you administer?

    Jolie replied to southernhospitality's topic in General Nursing

    Forget about it? No, because it is a learning experience. Perhaps you can discuss the appropriate parameters with the physician next time you see him/her. If you broach it as a learning experience...

  17. I'm afraid to go to school with child

    Jolie replied to Blackcat99's topic in Private Duty

    Blackcat, I am a school nurse in a district that requires a personal care nurse for any student with a trach/vent and/or running central line. I have a few such students in my buildings, and can't...

  18. What do you all think of Single Payer HealthCare-Universal healthcare in CA

    Jolie replied to MarieStevens's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Doesn't matter what anyone thinks of it. The state is bankrupt and can't begin to meet its current financial obligations, let alone new ones. Won't

  19. Wait for info or make the call?

    Jolie replied to Flare's topic in School

    If the parents are asking for any kind of accomodation or monitoring at school, then I'll call and ask if they are willing to share information with me. I've never had a parent unwilling to fill me...

  20. nursing vs medicine

    Jolie replied to kcerwniart's topic in General Students

    What do you mean by "guaranteed success" and "embarrassed to wear letters"? Do you believe that everyone who is accepted to a nursing programs graduates, passes boards and finds a job? If you become...

  21. Has this ever happened to you?

    Jolie replied to Daisy Child's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry for the upheaval in the unit. I would ask that you keep your mind open to any suggestions she has for truly meaningful and helpful change. In the meantime, try and ride this out. Chances...

  22. Nursing mgrs who interview floor nurses - which candidate is more desirable?

    Jolie replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with classicdame. It's a toss-up. In the real world, a staff nurse remaining in the same position for 2-4 years is a rarity. So even though one nurse may "plan" to stay put for a long time,...

    No you use the mask over the baby's mouth and nose with the airway in

  24. Infant airways and decels

    Jolie replied to jennf83's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is such a thing as an infant airway. It is a piece of plastic approximately 1-1/2 to 2 inches long with a slight curve and a hollow center. It is inserted over the tongue with the end...

  25. Resume assistance needed

    Jolie replied to melodie04's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Generally speaking, I would not recommend putting your school clinical experience on your resume. It is assumed that all graduates of reputable nursing programs have basic clinical experience in a...
