  1. Postpartum in healthy birth!

    Jolie replied to ghurricane's topic in General Students

    Sorry for the misinterpretation. That sounded more like a request for homework completion than a gentle push in the right direction. My

  2. Chicago Nurses help me please!!

    Jolie replied to Jordy1703's topic in General Nursing

    Despite what anyone may believe, nursing is not a recession-proof profession. We are in a bad economy and hospital admissions are down, hence he need for nurses is down. Therefore employers can be...

  5. Am I hired?

    Jolie replied to bbie17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're not hired until you have received an offer and accepted it. Best of luck to

  6. how can we fix healthcare if ppl keep abusing the system?

    Jolie replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    It will never be possible to completely eliminate abuse from the healthcare system. But that shouldn't stop us from trying. We must demand payment of some amount from each and every user. When...

  7. Please help! Need pathophysiology for ineffective breastfeeding?

    Jolie replied to happyinillinois's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's like asking for the pathophysiology of a headache. The answer depends upon the cause. You need to assess your mom and baby and determine the root cause(s) of their ineffective breastfeeding....

  8. Almost made my first medication order while on orientation how do you get over it.

    Jolie replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    1. Breathe. 2. Use your critical thinking skills to assess the situation, develop a plan, implement the plan, and evaluate how its working. Sound familiar? :) You're on orientation for a reason....

  9. ID10T NS questions....... ***VENT***

    Jolie replied to FLmomof5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree that it is a poorly-worded question. What is "available" implies what can the patient obtain at this time. The answers would include condoms and abstinence, since she can obtain both on her...

  10. Does where you work offer insurance policies?

    Jolie replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    I work for a non-profit community health agency. They have very few full-time positions, so most employees are not eligible for benefits. I love my job, but will have to find something else soon due...

  11. New Graduate RN that can not find a job.

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

    If your e-mail address is similar to your screen name, I would suggest changing

  12. Do Nurses Use Abdominal Percussion in the Field?

    Jolie replied to j_tay1981's topic in General Nursing

    It's becoming a lost art, unfortunately. Most of us barely learned this in school and rarely, if ever use it as an assessment tool. Why bother, when there are chest x-rays, ultrasounds and other...

  13. OB department closing-house supervisors role

    Jolie replied to tranquility00763's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What will become of the staff who currently work OB and have these skills and certifications? It is difficult to maintain basic competency, let alone a high level of proficiency, in skills that are...

  14. nurse manager-request to work on the floor

    Jolie replied to trulynurseatheart's topic in General Nursing

    It shouldn't have to be suggested. It should be the norm. In my first management position, I worked as an assistant manager under a manager whose background involved years of running a family...

  15. 2nd interview questions to ask?

    Jolie replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Management

    My management days are long behind me. I couldn't stand having the responsibility 24/7 for a patient care unit where I lacked the authority to implement measures necessary for safe and effective...

  16. Putting clinical experience on a resume?

    Jolie replied to AmyJean's topic in General Students

    I agree with elkpark. As a former nurse manager, I would prefer that applicant not list nursing school clinical experience on their resume, unless it is highly unusual and pertinent to the job for...

  17. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    Jolie replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I think with time, you will see that works both ways. Plenty of phyicians "prey" on patients, insisting on immediate treatment with XYZ, when other (less dramatic, less risky, less expensive)...

  18. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    Jolie replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    There are conscientious and reputable practitioners of every profession as well as non-reputable charlatans. I think each deserves a chance to prove him/herself. My sister had a long-standing...

  19. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    Jolie replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to your aquaintance for realizing that her personal beliefs would be in conflict with her duties in the care of her patients. I think "hater" is a strong word. I've met few people in my...

  20. Can I be private duty RN for Stepdad?

    Jolie replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    Many third party payors ban payments to relatives as professional caregivers and many agencies will refuse to allow employees to care for relatives. Too many potential liabilities and conflicts of...

  21. 2nd interview questions to ask?

    Jolie replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Management

    What topics were discussed in the first interview? What, specifically, are your duties. Ask for a written job description to take home and read. What are the expectations and limitations of your...

  22. Immunizations for NICU patients

    Jolie replied to Moondance's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No problem with giving 2 injections simultaneously to minimize pain reponse, but I wouldn't give them both in the same leg. First of all, there isn't that much room to aim. There's a good chance of...

  23. Immunizations for NICU patients

    Jolie replied to Moondance's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If a neonate is having apneic episoes 24 hours prior to a scheduled immunization, it seems likely that the apneic episodes are not immunization related, or at least not solely immunization related. It...

  24. effective breastfeeding care plan

    Jolie replied to mom35's topic in General Students

    What are the indicators that a mom/baby couplet is nursing effectively? What would you look for in Mom in terms of comfort, condition of nipples, condition of breasts, feelings of satisfaction versus...

  25. Anyone familiar with maternal transport team?

    Jolie replied to obnurse4u's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our transport teams (both maternal and neonatal) were comprised of nurses with at least 2 years current experience who applied and successfully completed an in-house education program followed by a...
