  1. ADN versus Second Degree BSN with non-nursing degree

    Jolie replied to future123's topic in General Nursing

    Please clarify this part of your post. One can't become an advanced practice RN (CNM, NP, CRNA or CNS) without first being an RN, so sitting for NCLEX is required, even of those who plan to advance...

  2. ADN versus Second Degree BSN with non-nursing degree

    Jolie replied to future123's topic in General Nursing

    An ADN may be a good option for you. Many community colleges use lottery systems for determining admission to their nursing programs. That means that any applicant who has successfully completed the...

  3. Am I being snotty?

    Jolie replied to JezzysRN09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If having your degree on your badge is important to you, then go ahead and put it there. I think you will soon come to realize that there are much bigger issues in nursing practice than the initials...

  4. Employee Free Choice Act

    Jolie replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    You can't seriously believe that this protects workers who desire to vote in private. It simply moves the undue pressure to the vote on whether or not to have a secret ballot, rather than the actual...

  5. ? re unlabeled meds

    Jolie replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing, and everyone (family, DON, etc.) knows it. When I read stories like this where a nurse is being pressured to do something that so obviously violates accepted practice, and a...

  6. Phototherapy and migraines

    Jolie replied to swazi-maci's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Anecdotally, I remember this as a common complaint from my NICU days. I've been out of NICU for quite awhile, but I thought the blue lights went the way of the dinosaurs. Aren't spot lights used now,...

  7. Update on "demotion"

    Jolie replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    You ask valid (if not politically correct) questions. Put your manager on the spot and insist that she answer them (professionally, of course.) Request (in writing) a meeting to discuss your future...

  8. New grad got fired, help

    Jolie replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    This is a common mis-conception, and untrue. The candidate can specifically limit the information that a previous employer may disclose to a potential new employer. If she has not done so, there is...

  9. not sure which one to pick..help please. (resume)

    Jolie replied to mixedfruit's topic in General Nursing

    I am a former nurse manager, previously responsible for hiring staff. I would give more weight to a resume highlighting volunteer and work experience than one loaded with school clinical experience....

  10. Cabin Fever

    Jolie replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm right there with you! Today is snow day #4, tomorrow will be #5. What will we call it when we're still in school in July? School fever? My office will be packed with kids trying to get sent...

  11. Question about holding an RN license in multiple states

    Jolie replied to NBMom1225's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is a common misconception that one transfers an RN license. That is not the case. When you receive a license by endorement in a second, third or fourth state, your initial license remains in...

  12. What would you have done in my situatio

    Jolie replied to ldcmw1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Was this patient taken up with the Chief of OB, or was the assumption made that s/he wouldn't support your position that induction was inappropriate? I don't mean to sound over-bearing. I know how...

  13. I feel like I got screwed by my nursing program

    Jolie replied to textucker's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry for your situation. In my opinion, nursing school (or education in general) is more about learning to problem solve and learning to accept responsibility for one's learning than it is about...

  14. baby bucket?

    Jolie replied to snuffyRN's topic in Pediatric

    I can't imagine any legitimate use for this, and certainly not in a NICU setting. NICU babies are either sick, premature, recovering, or all 3. They undergo monitoring, including invasive arterial...

  15. baby bucket?

    Jolie replied to snuffyRN's topic in Pediatric

  16. IL RN moving to FL, now required to retake NCLEX ?

    Jolie replied to floridaboundrn's topic in Florida Nursing

    Not necessarily so. Each state sets its own requirements for licensure. Having an active license in good standing in one state does not always qualify an applicant for the same in another. The...

  17. Diet Sodas - bane of my existance

    Jolie replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am a caffeine fiend also. A number of years ago, I decided to go caffeine-free because I mistakenly believed that it was contributing to a health issue. Knowing that I would endure nasty...

  18. FMLA Vs. Workers Comp. I need an answer plz

    Jolie replied to cwood88's topic in Home Health

    I agree that a legal consult would be a good idea. In the meantime, request a written copy of your employer's FMLA policy and procedure. It should spell out whether FMLA time is to be used for...

  19. Please Answer this question if you can

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

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Hesi is administered by your nursing education program, not the State Board. Did you pass Hesi? Did you graduate? Did your school send your eligibility...

  20. Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    Jolie replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=DeeAngel;4011612 I can think of no better situation where the phrase "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute and emergency on mine" applies. That's one of my favorites. I used to...

  21. Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    Jolie replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Dee Angel makes a good point! If you don't have the gumption to stand up to lazy classmates, who will you stand up to? How will this translate into profesional nursing practice? If you won't say,...

  22. Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    Jolie replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    We all have moments when we need a little help. It's great to have a network of classmates and co-workers willing to help each other out in those times. But, what you describe demands a firm...

  23. insulin pump question

    Jolie replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible that this is a "step-wise" correction? Perhaps, the previous poster suggested, the individual is extremely sensitive to insulin, so the correction is broken up into steps with a time...

  24. Snow Day Tomorrow????

    Jolie replied to pugmomrn's topic in School

    We're home today, and judging by the pace of the snowfall, we probably will be tomorrow too. I'm not "caught up" enough to have this luxury, so I'll have to work on a few planned days off. I just...

  25. Medical Surgical Floor from Hell

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

    I understand your frustration and realize that you want to make things better. But I advise you to think carefully before meeting with anyone or saying anything that you can't absolutely prove....
