  2. Pajamas

    Jolie replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  3. ANA membership?

    Jolie replied to firstyearRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  4. Pajamas

    Jolie replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    That's part of the problem in our district, also. The principal is a fairy young man, and I think he's afraid to raise too big a stink over girls' clothing for fear of being accused of inappropriate...

  5. Personal appearance on job interviews (weird situation)

    Jolie replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Jolie replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

  7. Help desperately needed re:License endosement

    Jolie replied to KathyBannRN's topic in Florida Nursing

  9. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Jolie replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The irony is that the party which these advocates have supported and trusted is ignoring them. Perhaps they would be better off cozying up to Repbulicans. They certainly couldn't be any worse off....

  10. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Jolie replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Jolie replied to iHeartNICU's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  14. Parents controlling an adult child with chronic/progressive disease

    Jolie replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Your situation reminds me of a patient I once cared for in labor. The couple was married and planned their pregnancy. Both were well-educated and well-spoken. The Dad was a chiropractor. I don't...

  15. Twins sleeping schedule

    Jolie replied to Moondance's topic in Pediatric

    I would not awaken a normal, healthy, term newborn for a night-time feeding. Night-time sleeping is the goal. It sounds like this new mother wants to rigidly keep her babies on the same schedule,...
