  1. Return to work as casual

    Jolie replied to Blefunk's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Did you utilize FMLA when you went on maternity leave? FMLA allows employers to recoup the cost of benefits paid on behalf of an employee on FMLA if she does not return to work in a benefits-eligible...

  2. micropreemies and vaccinations

    Jolie replied to medsurg4ever's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My heart breaks with yours. As a NICU nurse and mom of 2 former preemies, I know that there is nothing more agonizing than the deterioration of a baby believed to be stable. We are unable to...

  3. I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

    Jolie replied to Mississippideer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wasn't referring to the OP, but to the post from brpeifer, directly above me. Sorry for the

  4. IV infiltrate

    Jolie replied to dreamrider212's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I value patients being able to rest, but would manipulate pillows & blankets enough to be able to visualize an IV site, even if it meant disturbing the patient. I believe an hourly check is...

  5. I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

    Jolie replied to Mississippideer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    New member, joined today, first & only post. Troll

  6. Girls with Cramps

    Jolie replied to grammy1's topic in School

    Having had both, it is my experience that there is no similarity between the 2 kinds of pain. I am also not familiar with ovarian cysts being common in school-aged girls, but I may be wrong about...

  7. No Excuse for Mistake....

    Jolie posted a topic in Nursing News

    I'll preface this by saying that I'm home with a sick child who's beginning to feel better and looking for every possible excuse not to do the work that I should be doing. I ran across this article...

  8. New nurse beating myself up

    Jolie replied to Armywife08's topic in Pediatric

    Few nursing tasks are as challenging than giving shots to frightened, uncooperative children. Gather your supplies, get as much help as possible distracting & holding the child, and get it done...

  9. Girls with Cramps

    Jolie replied to grammy1's topic in School

    Are you able to administer parent-provided OTC meds with physician & parent approval? If so, I encourage young ladies & their parents to set this up. As unappealing as it sounds, exercise can...

  10. Doctor's note for "Chew Toy"

    Jolie replied to clockwood's topic in School

    I don't understand how this is a nursing issue. It does not involve assessing the student's health, planning nursing interventions, administering medications or treatments or evaluating outcomes. It...

  11. Reprimand to Endorsement

    Jolie replied to Ruralcrazy's topic in General Nursing

    If you apply for licensure by endorsement, you will be required to disclose any action against any license you hold in other state(s). It is up to the new state to investigate and determine whether...

  12. Doctors without Borders refusing free Pfizer vaccines

    Jolie replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We apparently agree that "For profit is not automatically a conflict of interest." There is nothing inherently bad about earning a profit, nor is there anything inherently good about non-profit...

  13. Doctors without Borders refusing free Pfizer vaccines

  14. WILTW 10/22: ENT and the Priapism

    Jolie replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that our State Board of Nursing provided a non-existent website address for our semi-annual license renewal. Can anyone here point to a single example of a governmental agency getting...

  15. Anaphylactic reaction

    Jolie replied to elclo's topic in General Nursing

    Do I understand that the patient noticed lip swelling at home, went to the pharmacy where he received Phenergan, and that after he took the medication, his lip swelling worsened? You then treated him...

  16. New Grad Negotiations

    Jolie replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with attempting to negotiate the conditions of one's future employment. It will either work, or it won't. But as long as you do so politely and professionally, the...

  17. Failed preceptorship

    Jolie replied to Spurse32's topic in General Nursing

    I formed my opinion when I read the second to last paragraph of your post, "but the workflow is so slow, I don't think there was enough to prove myself, only enough to make mistakes, which are my...

  18. Allow me to vent please

    Jolie replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Point taken, and maybe I oversimplified. With so much known about the dangers of drawing up and mixing medications at the bedside, why was it being done? I don't know the policies or practices of...

  19. I messed up today.

    Jolie replied to Crorns's topic in General Nursing

    Was there a deficit in this patient's care? Yes. Did you find it and get it addressed? Yes. Might it have been better for the patient to have received alternate IV fluids sooner? Perhaps. But...

  20. I am a new nurse trying to figure out how to get a doctor to stop bullying me at work.

    Jolie replied to Mississippideer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are 100% correct that he used you as a pawn to avoid directing his concerns to anesthesia. He did that because he is weak and unsure of himself. Most bullies are, and compensate by acting tough...

  21. Allow me to vent please

    Jolie replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is "I'm sorry for your situation, Tweety." I wish I had sage advice. I don't. About 25 years ago, I was working in a prominent Midwestern Children's Hospital when it became known that...

  22. Doctors without Borders refusing free Pfizer vaccines

    Jolie replied to StNeotser's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I won't pretend to know the financial particulars of Pfizer's offer, nor do I know the morals, values or ethics that guide their leadership's decision making processes. But I suggest that we all...

  23. New grad in L&D. Are these things normal?

    Jolie replied to ColdHandsWarmHeart's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm glad to read a few posts reassuring you that your experience on this unit is not normal or acceptable. As some posters have indicated, "dark humor" is not unusual in healthcare, or any high-stress...

  24. Transgender Students and Name Changes.

    Jolie replied to Alex Egan's topic in School

    I have no experience with this, but imagine that insurance comes into play. If a student is covered by an insurance plan and the pharmacy is submitting prescriptions for reimbursement, I would guess...

  25. Diabetic Mom

    Jolie replied to LOLLYGAGGER's topic in School

    Calls to both mom and doctor are needed. I shake my head when parents provide doctor's orders and then ask us not to follow them. My response is always this: I have a legal and professional...
