  1. An RN friend being set up at her job, are even threatening her license; need advice

    Jolie replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    It's evidence that she wasn't impaired by drugs. It doesn't speak to her fitness to work in any other aspect, such as health, fatigue,

  2. Co-worker selling her own prescription meds!

    Jolie replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps her physician suspected she was selling meds, hence his decision to stop prescribing

  3. Run far away from malcolm x

    Jolie replied to HoopZ20's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Exchanging opinions in a private conversation is a far cry from posting that same information, names included, on an international website for millions of people to read. Look at it this way: If an...

  4. An RN friend being set up at her job, are even threatening her license; need advice

    Jolie replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for your friend's troubles. We can't offer legal advice here. But there is one point I'd like to make. If a nurse believes she is physically unfit to work, she is ethically bound to cancel...

  5. Florida Endorsement License

    Jolie replied to empyrean's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you are certain that you will be working in a VA facility, it is not necessary to endorse your license. Nurses working in federal facilities in the U.S. or overseas (military or VA) do not need to...

  6. Licene Renewal and CEUs

    Jolie posted a topic in Illinois Nursing

    I'm an RN originally licensed in IL, but currently living and working out of state. I have always kept my IL license current and went on-line today to renew. I was under the impression that CEUs...

  7. Continuing Education credits

    Jolie replied to slr921's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Does IDPR have your current address? I received a postcard about a week ago with instructions about how to go online and renew. If you haven't received a renewal notice, I would check with the IDPR...

  8. Nursing Assistant drawing up and giving injections?

    Jolie replied to OBNurseWannabe's topic in General Nursing

    The scope of practice of employees in a doctor's office may vary tremendously from the scope of practice of the same category of employee in a hospital or licensed health care agency or facility. In...

  9. Sliding Scale vs Tight Glycemic Control?

    Jolie replied to sheryl1304's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting. I have virtually no experience with diabetics on an in-patient basis, so this is all new to me. What were the causes of death in patients with increased mortality related to tight...

  10. Infiltrated IV lead to infection?

    Jolie replied to allthesmallthings's topic in General Nursing

    Will removing the infiltrated IV 10 minutes sooner greatly lessen the risk of infection at the infiltration site? Probably not, but it is still the best practice and the right thing to do for everal...

  11. how to report a teacher to the BRN?

    Jolie replied to scibruin's topic in General Students

    I shake my head when I read posts where students or employees are all gung-hu to report an instructor, supervisor or co-worker to the BON without having exhausted every other mean of resolution first....

  12. Off topic...but is this illegal?!

    Jolie replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as employers don't violate federal labor laws, they have a lot of leeway to establish attendance

  13. At what point do you stop trying to stop labor???

    Jolie replied to shortstuff31117's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it depends upon Mom's history, also. If a mom comes in for the first time at 36 weeks, most docs I know will try and stop things. If she has a long history of treatment for PTL (meaning that...

  14. What would you answer for this test question?

    Jolie replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    NICU nurse weighing in here: Heat loss is the correct answer. Yes, infants have immature thermoregulation systems. That's why it is our job to keep them in a thermoneutral environment. If we...

  15. What is the difference between Public Health Nursing and Community Health Nursing?

    Jolie replied to dobletruble's topic in General Students

    The difference is in how they are paid. "Public health" implies public payment, in the form of grants, donations, sliding scale fees, tax dollars, etc. Your county health department, local parish...

  16. Please stay up on your CEUs (NOT a medical assistant bash)

    Jolie replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the OP's frustration, but I doubt that CEUs would make a bit of difference in the injector's technique. Has anyone ever read or attended a continuing ed session on IM injection tehnique?...

  17. Taking time off for NCLEX?

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

    Have you been offered a graduate nurse position? If so, I would take time off for the review courses and otherwise work as a GN. There is no better preparation for NCLEX, IMO, than working as a...

  18. Mistake!

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

    This is a good topic of dicussion with your charge nurse or manager. Hospitals once typically stonewalled families seeking information about possible mistake for fear of litigation. Numerous studies...

  19. My vent and What I will learn from it?

    Jolie replied to SmilesNoir's topic in General Nursing

    I've never understood the objection to pharmacists administering flu shots. I don't buy the argument that they aren't qualified. Pharmacists hold a minimum of a Bachelor's Degree. Most have earned...

  20. delee suctioning

    Jolie replied to jctiabecerra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have access to the current course materials, but I am certain that the NRP program, developed by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics addresses this. The...

  21. delee suctioning

    Jolie replied to jctiabecerra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Absolutely unnecessary on a routine basis and not consistent with current recommendations by professional

  22. Mistake!

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

    You've made amends with the doctor, which was the right thing to do. Please do the same with the parents. They deserve the courtesy and professionalsim that you displayed with the physician. It...

  23. Do you think this is an unfair hiring practice?

    Jolie replied to Work in Progress's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No. It is not an unfair hiring practice. Frustrating to applicants, no doubt, but not unfair. As long as they do not discriminate against certain "protected" categories, such as age, sex, race,...

  24. Health Care Vote- Is there anyone else as confused as me?

    Jolie replied to Ginger's Mom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If this is an important issue to you, then please research it carefully. The bill under cnsideration will not accomplish 100% coverage. An estimated 10-15 million will remain uninsured, even after...

  25. FMLA

    Jolie replied to mrsbiggy's topic in General Nursing

    Is your employer large enough to have to comply with FMLA? Have you worked in a benefits-eligible position for at least 12 months, which is the usual requirement to qualify for FMLA? Did you follow...
