  1. Recusal from a case

    Jolie replied to ender_wiggin1988's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Welcome to Allnurses! Since this looks like your first post, you are more likely to get responses if you explain why you're asking this question. If it's homework, please let us know what you have...

  2. Pt assignment in trash

    Jolie replied to Mama Nurse 7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You are absolutely right. Any nurse should know not to improperly discard papers containing PHI and not need a reminder. Any nurse should also know to arrive to work early, fully dressed in uniform,...

  3. Need help..hate my job :(

    Jolie replied to butters9812's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to offer a different perspective. I may be way off base, and if so, please feel free to let me know that, but I would like you to consider this: I think you are doing just fine, clinically...

  4. Big Trouble

    Jolie replied to Bentlysnurse's topic in MICU, SICU

    Please bear with me, because I have not worked in a hospital in 20 years, so my knowledge of medication dispensing machines and scanning devices is theoretical at best. Do you not enter the Pyxis,...

  5. Is this reasonable or just over the top?

    Jolie replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    Based upon my recent experiences with 3 family members who had stays on various nursing units of 5 different hospitals, I greatly appreciated a brief introduction of the on-coming nurse by the...

  6. Pt assignment in trash

    Jolie replied to Mama Nurse 7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you inadvertently threw away a paper with someone's PHI on it, would you appreciate a co-worker who took 10 seconds to shred it, then reminded you privately to be careful about discarding sensitive...

  7. Help - out of state field trip

    Jolie replied to maisy321's topic in General Nursing

    Some states allow nurses to practice temporarily in a purely voluntary capacity despite lacking licensure in that state. You might check to see if D.C. allows this. But that brings a question to my...

  8. Heartbreaking. What would you have done?

    Jolie replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    I haven't, and will not watch the video. Can't bring myself to do it. But I have a few questions: What was the nurse told about the boy when he was brought to her office? Did she know that he had...

  9. Manager catch phrases

    Jolie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I had another episode of uncontrollable eye rolling following a local news report this morning. Perhaps it's an unrecognized seizure disorder. News anchor with concerned look on his face states in...

  10. Do psychotropic meds contribute to poor decision making sometimes?

    Jolie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know the answer to the question you posed, but my thought is that if he is exhibiting anxiety severe enough to require regular medication, perhaps this is not a good time to be making a major...

  11. Manager catch phrases

    Jolie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Working loosely within a corporate structure the last 7 years, I was subjected to numerous irritating phrases. The one that bugged me the most was "on-boarding." We never just recruited or hired or...

  12. Magnesium sulfate

    Jolie replied to maxienurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you have 20 grams in 500 ml of fluid, how much fluid must be infused to give 6 grams? You have already answered 150mg (which is correct.) If you are giving 150mg over 30 minutes, what is the hourly...

  13. Magnesium sulfate

    Jolie replied to maxienurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    maxienurse, At the risk of sounding like a COB, it concerns me that you are unable to solve this basic 2-step math problem by the factor label method or by using proportions. Step #1: Give 6 grams...

  14. Magnesium sulfate

    Jolie replied to maxienurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How is the medication supplied? Are you adding concentrated MgSO4 to a liter of fluid? (I sincerely hope not.) Is pharmacy supplying you with a pre-mixed solution? (I sure hope so.) How rapidly...

  15. Transferring to another state

    Jolie replied to nursestudent15's topic in General Nursing

    Stepping up on my soapbox. If your nursing education program hasn't addressed the basic issues of NCLEX registration and application for licensure, they need to do so. Please contact your academic...

  16. Math requirement for RNs?

    Jolie replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a dinosaur, not having practiced in a hospital setting for almost 20 years. But I vividly recall some train-wreck deliveries where we had to estimate weight of a critically ill newborn, calculate...

    Jolie replied to Yellowheart's topic in General Nursing

    The agency responsible for licensure in IL is the Department of Professional and Financial Regulation (IDPFR). State of Illinois | Department of Financial & Professional Regulation You should be...

  20. What area of nursing would work for me? Please help, all suggestions appreciated!

    Jolie replied to slb1008's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    OR nursing, school nursing or an office setting may be good options. Best of luck to you

  21. Sweet, Honey

    Jolie replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    Generally speaking, terms of endearment don't bother me. But I had to peel myself off the ceiling today following a phone call from a representative of administration at a local hospital. A family...

  22. I Pads for patient education

    Jolie replied to classicalcat's topic in Patient Education

    I recently had a course of PT for an ankle injury. The first thing I did was to take a survey on an iPad about my reasons for seeking treatment, goals and expectations, limitations, etc. It seemed...

  23. The Pacer Test

    Jolie replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    My daughter, now a college freshman was in 1st grade when she outwitted the PE teacher and got her entire class out of the pacer test. It was one of my proudest Mama moments :) On an unseasonably...

  24. RN NCLEX licensure, help!!!!!

    Jolie replied to Eagerbeaver1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You may be able to find a state that will grant you a license if you pass NCLEX after a 4 year lapse and multiple attempts. But that does not guarantee that TX will extend you the privilege of...

  25. I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    Jolie replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    As a former nurse manager and now a business owner in a different field, I see a number of possible reasons for the unfortunate outcome of your brief employment. I'll try to keep my comments...
