  1. OHSU Accelerated Bachelors to Masters Summer 2017 Cohort

    Jolie replied to Kocono's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My native tongue is Sarcasm. That isn't as well accepted in the workplace as it should be, so I have to fall back on English, much to my

  2. I just want to be a stay at home mom!

  3. Advice re: long maternity leave and going to per diem after baby?

    Jolie replied to ricki76's topic in General Nursing

    By federal law, your employer must have a written policy and procedure regarding implementation of FMLA. I suggest familiarizing yourself with it as a first step. They may also have a policy...

  4. License by endorsement

    Jolie replied to JamesTodd's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify, you are not "transferring your license" from one state to another. You are applying by endorsement for a second license. If granted, you will have 2 licenses in 2 states to be...

  5. What would a single payer system look like?

    Jolie replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There are a few of these practices in my town. One is a large, multi-service practice with multiple specialists, lab, pharmacy, therapists, etc. Others are more typical family practice providers....

  6. License in different state

    Jolie replied to melissa_nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you have any questions after reviewing the IDPFR website, please contact your school of nursing. At the risk of sounding like a COB, it bewilders me that colleges and universities apparently fail...

  7. Clinical failure for something I couldn't help?

    Jolie replied to teachable's topic in General Students

    You state that you don't blame anyone but yourself, and in the very next sentence, you blame the surgeon for insisting that you touch a surgical specimen and for not knowing that you were woozy, even...

  8. Clinical failure for something I couldn't help?

    Jolie replied to teachable's topic in General Students

    Having precepted students in the OR, I can assure you that no one expected you to be involved in patient care, but they DID expect you to be aware of safety issues. When you felt ill and woozy, it...

  9. Emergency Calls- How long do we wait?

    Jolie replied to Amethya's topic in School

    In our district, the nurse's decision to call 911 is respected. A call to parents follows immediately. If the parents arrive before the child is transported by EMS, they can interveve and decline...

  10. What is your absence policy ?

    Jolie replied to RNqueens's topic in School

    I agree. It is not the nurse's job to make or enforce attendance policy as it relates to excused or unexcused absences. Your job is to promote health and wellness and enable students to attend...

  11. Info needed on Childhood obesity

    Jolie replied to Meghan2323's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't understand the nature of your assignment. Are you attempting to research health care providers' impressions of childhood obesity and how those impressions influence care given to children?...

  12. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Jolie replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    jaycam, Are you covered by a group plan? Many employers and groups cover out of state employees on a plan based somewhere other than the employees' residence. That is not the same thing as an...

  13. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Jolie replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. Our current family of four premium is $1500/month, with a $15,000 deductible. Because our plan won't pay for care outside our immediate area, we had to purchase a...

  14. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Jolie replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't support the government forcing citizens to purchase a product against their will. But nor do I support enabling irresponsible behavior on the part of competent, able-citizens who refuse to...

  15. Should Obama care be repealed?

    Jolie replied to luv2's topic in General Nursing

    Source please? Effective date

  16. Is this a privacy issue?

    Jolie replied to guest998179's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    A HIPAA violation occurs when someone accesses, discloses or uses protected health information in a way that compromises the privacy or security of a patient and is not protected as an "acceptable" or...

  17. What should I choose?

    Jolie replied to Dlansey's topic in General Students

    Is this a grant (which does not require re-payment) or a loan that you will have to pay back? If it is a loan, what are the interest rate and terms? Please consider these factors in deciding...

  18. Almost fired for med error

    Jolie replied to mellybelly27's topic in Emergency

    I believe the only way to get to the bottom of this is to request a meeting with the CNO. If you do so, please have a witness present who supports you, such as your manager, and/or the physician who...

  19. Florida students self carrying own otcs

    Jolie replied to Flare's topic in School

    I can't help but wonder if the reason for the policy is a legal one. How many times have we been warned that it is bad (from a legal perspective) to have a policy in place and NOT follow it. That...

  20. Gait Belt in the Shower?

    Jolie replied to newnurse703's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I can't comment on the professional standard of care, but having recently taken care of my daughter and mother following orthopedic surgeries, I definitely used their gait belts in the shower. I had...

  21. License in Illinois help!

    Jolie replied to aglaze33's topic in General Nursing

    Please contact your nursing school and insist that they advise you on how to specify IL for your NCLEX, and how to apply for an IL license. It is their responsibility to ensure that their graduates...

  22. Resigning: Counter Offer Advice?

    Jolie replied to RG-RN2014's topic in General Nursing

    Their current interest means nothing unless it translates into a job offer prior to your start date at the new hospital. If they come thru with an offer that interests you, consider it within the...

  23. Transfusion reaction treated by IVIG?

    Jolie posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone direct me to information discussing the use of IVIG for a patient who has experienced a transfusion reaction resulting in severe hemolysis? I'm not seeking medical advice. My friend has...

  24. Fire safety, who is responsible

    Jolie replied to simonsmom's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like administration is turning a blind eye, not wanting to address an unpleasant issue with this patient/family. In the event of an emergency, you can bet they will hold throw the staff and...

  25. Best Specialty for Someone Prone to Burnout

    Jolie replied to kellylauren's topic in General Nursing

    Please take my post in the spirit intended: to help you find a better fit in your next job, not to be critical of you personally. You mention having worked in a number of specialties, and I presume...
