    [quote=precious nikz;3730977 PLS HELP US WITH OUR STAND,,NURSING THEORY IS REALLY IMPORTANT BUT MAYBE THERE ARE SOME THINGS TO BE ARGUED ABOUT IT..AND NURSING IS NOT REALLY ALL ABOUT THE THEORIES...

  2. another precaution question

    Jolie replied to scared2death's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Examples of infections that require Droplet Precautions are meningococcal meningitis, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and pertussis. The following measures are required for Droplet Precautions....

  3. Nursing Refresher? Review?

    Jolie replied to Brickhaus's topic in Florida Nursing

    OK, I jut had another thought: Might it be possible to take an on-line refresher course if you strike an agreement with the institution that you will not do the clinicals or be awarded CEU's? In...

  4. I've been an RN for 3 years and I just made my first medication error.

    Jolie replied to mikeyswife's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You have all posted thoughtful messages regarding the consequences (to patient and nurse) of medication errors. These errors need to be addressed in at least 3 ways: as an employment issue (What...

  5. Nursing Refresher? Review?

    Jolie replied to Brickhaus's topic in Florida Nursing

    Perhaps you could contact your school of nursing and ask if they could recommend a tutor or if someone there would help you to devise a study plan. A traditional nurse refresher course would not work...

  6. I guess I'm too HOT to be a nurse.

    Jolie replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think she was trying to tell you that there is nothing that you need to work on or change. In any other setting, she would hire you. In corrections, no. I've never worked in corrections, but having...

  7. Pathophys or not?

    Jolie replied to Murse7's topic in General Students

    Pathophysiology provides the basis necessary to understand the myriad ways that things go wrong with the human body. In other words, the process of disease. I can't fathom a nursing education program...

  8. Conflict of Interest

    Jolie replied to NewANM02's topic in Nurse Management

    Check with Human Resources. I had no such restrictions when I managed a unit, but I also had no spare time to devote to another job :) Do you have 24/7 responsibility for staffing that would require...

  9. scope of nursing practice and intrathecal morphine pump

    Jolie replied to mlanern's topic in General Nursing

    You need to direct this question to a live person at your BON, or seek a lawyer with healthcare experience to advise you. I have no experience with intrathecal injections in a pain management setting,...

  10. This lady made my day !!!

    Jolie replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Congratulations to you, and bless that store owner for her kindness. But I must set you straight on one thing....there is no such thing as "cute" pearly white nursing shoes :) Enjoy your

  11. Why aren't more tests/exams open book?

    Jolie replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    Not necessarily smarter, but much better prepared. I went to nursing school in the 1980's. The program I attended based their teaching and testing methods on a study which showed that students who...

  12. Med Error Question

    Jolie replied to VTBabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is the critical point. The OP seems to indicate that the medication error did not result from a systematic problem, but from sheer carelessness. I may be assuming too much, but this...

  13. Med Error Question

    Jolie replied to VTBabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Most nures are employed "at will," meaning they can be fired for any reason (or no reason) as long as the reason doesn't violate certain protected circumstances such as race, religion, etc. So it is...

  14. New NICU Nurse....have a weird question

    Jolie replied to BabyLady's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    When the monitor alarms bradycardia, what does the tracing on the screen look like? If you are seeing "artifact" rather than a true EKG tracing with excess space between the peaks (which would...

  15. Would you hire me??

    Jolie replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    The CNA is an entry-level healthcare job. Applicants are not usually expected to have extensive experience in any field when they apply for their first CNA job. That said, babysitting is an excellent...

  16. Have I screwed myself over???

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

    You have a job you love, and you would consider giving it up in favor of working nights on a badly-staffed, ill-equipped med-surg unit in order to meet some one else's expectations of what your...

  17. MRSA from animals??

    Jolie replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    There's an article in the June, 2009 isue of RN magazine about MRSA which indicates that in the UK, up to 10% of veterinary staff are colonized. The occurance of MRSA in companion animals is unknown,...

  18. help on this OB assessment question

    Jolie replied to jy4d8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Another thought: If the round, firm form in the uterine fundus is the head, and the baby's back is on mom's left, then one would expect to auscultate FHTs in the LUQ, which isn't a choice. So I'm...

  19. help on this OB assessment question

    Jolie replied to jy4d8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I guess I'm the odd man out here. When I read the question, without looking at the choices, I said to myself, "lower L quadrant." The description of a "firm, round form" in the uterine fundus was, to...

  20. Dun....dun....DUN!

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

    It is now 7:55am CDT. Sending good thoughts your

  21. recent ankle fracture camper staying at camp

    Jolie replied to lynswim's topic in Camp

    My thoughts on this have very little to do with camp nursing, and a lot to do with the mother and camp director. First of all, it is a shame that the child's camp experience was marred by a serious...

  22. I will miss her...

    Jolie replied to mncna08's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My heart goes out to you. Find a way to honor your beloved resident and her husband. Something simple. Vow to plant a flower in her honor, do a good deed in honor of her loving husband, say a kind...

  23. Narcotics and Safe Practice

    Jolie replied to Valhalla_Pure's topic in General Students

    I don't know the laws in Canada regaring storage, wasting and documentation of narcotics, but here in the US, you would be asking for legal trouble and possible claims of malpractice by doing this. It...

  24. Drug Card Assignment

    Jolie replied to Lorrie1964's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello and welcome. Drug cards are a standard nursing school assignment designed to help the student become familiar with common medications (and not-so-common ones) so that they have the information...

  25. Offered a job today and flattered, but stumped.

    Jolie replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    Have you asked why the CPRU position is open and whether any existing employees wanted it? My concern is that if the director is overlooking any of his existing employees for this position, you may be...
