  1. Omaha, anyone?

    Jolie posted a topic in General Nursing

    There is a good chance that Hubby will be transferred to Omaha in the coming year. I've never been there, but have heard good things about the city. Any input on housing, schools, etc.? I'm a...

  2. All nursing floor - with no nursing assistants???

    Jolie replied to JSBoston's topic in General Nursing

    My first job out of school was in a primary nursing setting. I didn't know how good it was until we moved and I took a job that involved team nursing on a post-partum unit. Granted, this was an...

  3. Are you only allowed to practice in the state where you took the NCLEX?

    Jolie replied to starmickey03's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The previous posters are correct that you can endorse your license to a new state without repeating NCLEX. However, doing so takes time and costs money. You can take NCLEX in any testing center...

    Jolie replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Management of head lice in the school setting is a controversial and ever-changing issue. Notification of parents whose children share a classroom with a child with head lice may be viewed as an...

  6. Volunteering for a midwife will it help my changes of getting a L&D grad job.

    Jolie replied to mtaylor12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would investigate carefully the role you will be expected to take on. Does this midwife practice have 2 attendants present at deliveries to manage the posibility of emergencies involving both...

  7. Health Care is a right

    Jolie replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They (the Repubs) don't need to get out of the way, because they are not in the way. The do not have the votes to block the Dems on this, or any legislation in the Senate. The passage or lack of...

  8. Health Care is a right

    Jolie replied to headsup's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That "convoluted idea" came about as the result of government interference in free enterprise during WWII. So many young men were serving in the armed forces that private industry had to compete...

  9. Health coverage 'plan' was no insurance at all

    Jolie replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A bankruptcy that will undoubtedly be blamed on "medical expenses," instead of stupidity or laziness which would be more accurate

  10. Health coverage 'plan' was no insurance at all

    Jolie replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The "bait and switch" as you call it came about because, by her own admision, "the salesman offered to switch them to a better and cheaper plan. She admits, in retrospect, that she didn't ask a lot of...

  11. Health coverage 'plan' was no insurance at all

    Jolie replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If the company or its sales person engaged in fruad, they should be prosecuted, and damages paid to the customers. Otherwise, I fault the "policy-holders" for not knowing what they were buying and not...

  12. Should I go to work tomorrow

    Jolie replied to bunnie004's topic in General Nursing

    If a staff member came into my unit with such obvious signs/symptoms of a contagious illness, I would discipline

  13. Working as a Graduate Nurse

    Jolie replied to mandeestudent's topic in General Nursing

    It is my personal opinion that working as a professional nurse is the best preparation for NCLEX, and if that is an option, I would strongly encourage you to pursue it. Back in the olden days, when...

  14. 4 month old baby denied insurance coverage for being obese

    Jolie replied to lovepink's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps they are presenting information on both sides of the health care "reform" debate, without shoving an agenda down their viewers' throats. Fair and Balanced, you know

  15. FNP working with Peds?

    Jolie replied to shonda13's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When we lived in PA, my girls' health care provider was a FNP working in a peds practice. It was the only type of work she had ever done, and she was excellent. I seem to remember reading somewhere...

  16. Early feeds...good idea or recipe for disaster???

    Jolie replied to BabyLady's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Has an autopsy been done? Might this be a case of an undetected congenital anomoly? This certainly doesn't sound like typical NEC. I'm so sorry for those who mourn this baby's

  17. Early feeds...good idea or recipe for disaster???

    Jolie replied to BabyLady's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree with dawngloves. There is a big difference between trophic feeds of a miniscule amount of breastmilk intended to protect and stimulate the gut and true feedings which may overtax the child's...

  18. Pregnancy and nursing

    Jolie replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    I think you may be confusing your employer's maternity leave policy with the federal law of FMLA. FMLA can easily be researched on-line. In a nutshell, it is a federal law that applies to employers...

  19. Any School Nurse's out there giving H1N1 vaccinations ?

    Jolie replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Yes. We have been asked to participate in flu-shot clinics, some of which will be held in our

  20. Medicare cuts affecting Nursing homes

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

    This article is a clear indicator of what is to come if we allow our Congress to "fund" health care "reform" by cutting Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement. One point made in the article is that some...

  21. Trach's and vents

    Jolie replied to NO1_2NV's topic in School

    None of our schools have a nurse in attendance more than two 1/2 days per week. For this reason, students with trachs/vents or running central lines must have a personal care nurse with them at all...

  22. Interview attire business casual q

    Jolie replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you have the name and number of the person with whom you scheduled the interview? I think it would be perfectly OK to call and ask to clarify what their "business casual" policy means, since this...

    Sorry to hear of your setback. Take

  24. Will my license move with me?

    Jolie replied to JennNJ83's topic in Government, Military

    I'd like to clarify one point from the above post. If you work in military and/or VA hospitals (in the U.S. or overseas), a license from any U.S. state or territory will be accepted. If you work in...

  25. Dislocated knee

    Jolie replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Orthopedic

    I hope you're feeling better and geting around a little easier. I've dislocated my patella 4 times in the last 30 years and have seen treatment recommendations change a lot over that time. In a...
