  1. Unfair Shift Rotation

    Jolie replied to KHVILLE's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if this has already been said. I had little desire to read 9 pages of posts about kids, seniority and unfair scheduling. To the OP: If you have not already done so, please sit down with...

  2. Temp job before residency?

    Jolie replied to SnowSeal's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have the peds residency job lined up, or is that something you are hoping to be hired for? Some institutions designate nursing residencies specifically for newly licensed RNs who have not been...

  3. Ex Employers giving bad references

    Jolie replied to Jen4nursing's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to clarify one point: When you turned in your resignation, were you actually told that the resignation was not being accepted because you were being terminated instead, or did the supervisor...

  4. Diabetic no supplies

    Jolie replied to hgiovi's topic in School

    I applaud you all for your no-tolerance stance with this serious safety problem. I had a similar situation several years back and had the principal's backing and blessing to do the same. We were...

  5. Toxic Workplace?

    Jolie replied to ESpeed15's topic in General Nursing

    You mention that you are introverted, but then state thst you discussed the situation with a number of staff members as well as the manager. Those two bits of information seem to contradict each...

  6. Need opinions please

    Jolie replied to Caroline123's topic in General Nursing

    I detest "write-ups" because they connote a punitive rather than a problem-solving mindset. I understand your belief that your "offense" was duly reported, since the on-coming nurse stated that she...

  7. Budget Cuts and Boss Wanting the Impossible

    Jolie replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    At-will employment does not typically involve a contract. Please check the language of your contract regarding its termination. Most contracts spell out the circumstances under which a contract may...

  8. Budget Cuts and Boss Wanting the Impossible

    Jolie replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I don't understand how the district can simply "release" themselves from a contractural obligation for full time, teacher-scale employment and salary, unless you agree in writing. I can understand...

  9. The original RN license renewal

    Jolie replied to Sam. W's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the information you were given about keeping your original license active, and disagree that there is no difference between placing your license on inactive status versus simply letting...

  10. Contracts and moving- the battle in my mind!

    Jolie replied to marywhale's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your current situation. You must weigh the pros and cons of breaking your contract, moving to a new area, starting a new job and new life. No one here can...

  11. Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    Jolie replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    There is no single list of "safety-sensitive medications. The drugs of concern to one employer in a given setting may not be an issue for another employer in a different setting. Those that I know...

  12. Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    Jolie replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    My post did not address the legality of disclosing the drug screen results prior to verification. Per federal law and the employer's P&P that may very well have been the wrong thing to do. But I...

  13. Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    Jolie replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an expert on drug screening policies and procedures, but it is possible that the applicant was positive for a substance that would have been deemed unacceptable regardless of prescription....

  14. How to properly decline an offer to a nursing school

    Jolie replied to kriziaelora1992's topic in School, College Programs

    If you are certain that you will not attend, simply contact them by the usual means of communication (such as an e-mail to your admissions representative) and state that you appreciate their...

  15. Do you think I did something wrong here? Advice?

    Jolie replied to ellebee87's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If anyone else addressed this, I missed it. You did the right thing by using your critical thinking skills to question a seemingly inappropriate set of orders. I don't believe that it is within...

  16. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    Jolie replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I lived in this area for 1/2 my life. I'm not surprised in the least. Not only is this institution poorly regarded, so is the hospital system to which it belongs. I never considered working there,...

  17. O2 administration in RSV babies

    Jolie replied to Zelda, RN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I encourage you to consider that providing supplemental oxygen in and of itself will not reduce the baby's work of breathing. Grunting, retracting and nasal flaring are all indicators that an infant...

  18. Ammonia Inhalant

    Jolie replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    On the fainter or the lice? Maybe we're on to something

  19. Ammonia Inhalant

    Jolie replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    Tell them they can have their ammonia inhalers when they stop ostracizing kids from school for a single nit. You'll need them for the increased incidence of fainting :) Honestly, I've never used one....

  20. First Aid Kit in Classrooms-What is considered unsafe?

    Jolie replied to arnoldlayne's topic in School

    What do your state and school district allow to be dispensed without a provider's order and/or parental consent? Makes no sense to keep anything on hand in a classroom that might lead to compliance...

  21. Pregnant and starting new job

    Jolie replied to Xojessicaox549's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for your situation and send my best wishes to you and your baby. One reason for the pregnancy question is that it may impact Occupational Health decisions regarding vaccinations, TB testing...

  22. ED Ethics In Self Harm

    Jolie replied to ReadyToListen's topic in Emergency

    I understand and sympathize with the patient in the original example. Who among us has not at some point in time, even momentarily, thought about harming ourselves or someone else? And as we have...

  23. Epi-Pen costs

    Jolie replied to Astocker93's topic in Camp

    There is a local pharmacy that provides Epi-ens to our school district at cost. Perhaps you could check with local pharmacies, hospitals, EMS systems to see if they would be able and willing to...

  24. Grant Money

    Jolie replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    Do you mean that your school has money to spend and you can ask for some via a grant

  25. Have you ever went into shock while at work?

    Jolie replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, on very rare occasions, I have witnessed staff members become incapacitated. We moved them to a safe place and went about business. No big
