    My first case of NEC

    Jory replied to boardchic's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Have heart..it may not have been obvious when you had the baby. One of the two things that I have noticed a baby will start doing, before other symptoms show up, is that they will fail to wake up for...

    Ethical Debate.....please help : (

    Jory replied to bloves5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not an ethical issue...it's a critical thinking issue. My answer would be different: 1. CPR patient has been down 8 minutes and has a crew working on them...let them continue. Chances of recovery...

    Doctor's order needed to perform digital feces removal?

    Jory replied to BrandonLPN's topic in General Nursing

    If they telling you it requires an order, then it does and that is pretty much the end of the story. No, not all nurses know how to do it safely....that, I can tell

    How many LPN's Don't Plan To Pursue the RN Title?

    Jory replied to CLUVRN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    There will come a time in your career when you'll be tapped out as far as how much they are willing to pay you. You will be severely limited in any career advancement opportunities. You are only a...

    Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    Jory replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

    I'll tell you why this doesn't happen. People that have drug problems never start out showing up to work impaired. They start out by using recreationally and then when it gets out of hand, then they...

    Random drug tests in nursing school?!

    Jory replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

    What difference does it make why or how. If you are not using, you have nothing to worry about. Consider it preparation for your future

    Tuition rates/student loans

    Jory replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You are lucky...and when you think about it...even if you didn't get any of your loans paid (you will...just think hypothetically)...treat it like an expensive car loan. That is what I'm doing. I...

    Pay Off My Student Loans In Full or Make Monthly Payments?

    Jory replied to whitecat5000's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you what a financial advisor will tell you: PAY THEM OFF Rationale: Let's say, your student loans were at 5% interest? Do you know of a bank that will pay you 5% interest in a savings...

    Graduated 1 year ago, still no job

    Jory replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Illinois Nursing

    To me, paying $250 to take the course would be a drop in the bucket if that is what is barring you from getting a job. Finding a job is a numbers game..the more applications you fill out, the more you...

    Tuition rates/student loans

    Jory replied to Simply Complicated's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I completely agree with this statement. You can negotiate a portion of your student loans being paid off in a job offer negotiation, but I wouldn't count on it being more than 50% of what it took to...

    Pearson Vue Trick was WRONG!!!!!!!

    Jory replied to mamacita2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Our entire nursing class of over 130 students did it..the school even sent out an e-mail of how to do the PVT and took a survey after. The professors kept a log and asked everyone to call when they...

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Just to clarify...I wasn't suggesting that if you had FNP certification that you would be able to sit for the WHNP certification exam. Trauma posted a good link and the fact there are different...

    Reporting meds to the Police when a patient dies....HIPAA?

    Jory replied to tewdles's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    There are some things worth losing their job over. Giving personal information to the police when they have no legal right to have it after they have lost a family member is one of

    Employer bait & switch, regret accepting hospice position,

    Jory replied to Lucky724's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The paycheck isn't a big deal....as far as twice per month. That is a common method of payment and the first paycheck will be mailed until your direct deposit kicks in...that is also, common....

    Reporting meds to the Police when a patient dies....HIPAA?

    Jory replied to tewdles's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is what I would tell the employer and the police: There is no law that requires you to do this and I would refuse to get involved in it. No, it is not a crime (and I would ask for evidence of...

    Just got fired -

    Jory replied to blondebabe0625's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Was this the reason they gave you? If it was...then it would just depend on what the facility policy is. I would agree that this isn't necessarily a danger, because some residents have trouble...

    Advice needed on live birth and c-section

    Jory replied to Kaysmom8's topic in General Students

    I would go and seek help from a mental health professional to see if you can get this under control. It is not safe, when you graduate and pass boards, to have a nurse working in a facility that isn't...

    Jory replied to arbldj1234's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's 30 seconds, wait 30 to dry..however, I am in a Level III NICU and we have went as long as 1 1/2 years without a CLABSI and we just give it a good thorough scrub and

    I'm turning 25 soon and I want to be a nurse, am I kidding myself?

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    ...and I wouldn't disagree with anything that you have said. My only point in posting at all is just to mention a small tidbit of information that someone may want to check out...nothing more,...

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If one article was all it took to prove a point, then there wouldn't be the need to repeat studies and there wouldn't be a large library of professional journals....or did you miss the validity...

    Are you married sweetie?"

    Jory replied to Nurse-84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I never ask a patient a question about their personal information, if it has nothing to do with their care, unless I am willing to answer the same question. I also, wouldn't ask a patient if they are...

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And, this article was supposed to impress me how? I am sure that at backwoods hospitals,this may be a necessary evil. It's not necessary here and I work at a very large facility and there are NO...

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Again...your lack of reading my original post is showing. I never made a statement of where FNP's mostly worked...you did, not me...you. So please don't correct me on comments I never made to start...

    Women's Health vs Family NP

    Jory replied to khmora's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No hospital around here would let a general practice physician perform a c-section. If a woman comes in that has been seeing a GP for prenatal care, typically the general surgeon will do the...
