    Aneroo replied to so alive LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to hear that is resolvd and you don't have to worry about that

  2. Teaching Hospital vs. Non-teaching

    Aneroo replied to wildlaurel's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I started out in a teaching hospital in the ER. I think I actually learned more, even though there are a lot of residents. Even though the teaching aspect is geared towards training those residents,...

  3. Diagnoses you never thought you'd see?

    Aneroo replied to KarafromPhilly's topic in General Nursing

    I would get cracked up on a discharge diagnoses where I used to work. One of the options was "Hit by Train". Really? If they're hit by train, they're probably being discharged to the morgue (also an...

  4. Teaching kids to swallow pills

    Aneroo replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    That was how I started as a child (maybe 4 or 5 years old). I'm 27 and just recently started being able to take pills normally. :lol: If it tastes bad, I still have to put it in the back of my throat....

  5. discharged a patient wearing telemetry

    Aneroo replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! I've driven home with the PCA keys in my pocket at 3am. Had to drive the 20 minutes back there to return the keys and then head home

  6. Teaching kids to swallow pills

    Aneroo replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    I've had high school students who still can't swallow pills! I have orders for OTC tylenol/motrin, and I've seriously considered getting liquid b/c some of them can't

    Aneroo replied to kendel's topic in General Nursing

    I happen to love NC! :) I'd probably think the same of NY (the same as what you think of

  9. hand sanitizer scare

    Aneroo replied to GRAMMYTAB's topic in School

    Yikes! There is a new jelly snack food out in the shape of legos. I thought "What genius thought of this? SOme kid is going to the ER for eating their real legos instead of the snacks". This isn't...

  10. hand sanitizer scare

    Aneroo replied to GRAMMYTAB's topic in School

    I swear I've read the same story on Snopes.

  11. USPHS

    Aneroo replied to jennysong81's topic in Government, Military

    Interesting thread. I've been considering this, but will not get my BSN until Dec. 2010 (currently have ADN). I'm most interested in the health requirements, since I have a partial hearing loss...

  12. Happy Easter School Nurses !

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Thank you, you too! I have to work tomorrow, since the state decided we couldn't make up snow days during spring break, so instead we'll use religious holidays. (I'm still puzzled on that one) And...

  13. Bigger is not always better!

    Aneroo replied to ruralnurs's topic in General Nursing

    WTG!!

  14. I could cry....

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    I know. I worried about this with the hx of abuse in the family (as far as I know, none is sexual, but she said her Dad had said no to birth control and that "she didn't need it". That was a red flag...

  15. I could cry....

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    And another update- the student didn't tell me she had an IEP meeting this afternoon, so Mom is here at the school and the student told the PRINCIPAL she had to go home so I could meet her there. Mom...

  16. I could cry....

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Say a little prayer for me. I've caught this girl in TWO boldfaced lies to me today about this. Mom knows something is up because I called home to ask if the student went to the doctor on Friday and...

  17. Under Soft Lock Down

    Aneroo replied to skoolnurse's topic in School

    I was also wondering if you were in Alabama? We lost four people a few weeks ago in a shooting about 10 miles away (about 1.5 miles from an elem. school). Finally found out it was related to drugs...

  18. Peanut Allergies

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Thanks! They live in a high population area (near LA), so I would assume the school would have already had students with allergies before (who knows, it could be a new school). Luckily, for this kid,...

  19. Peanut Allergies

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    I have a friend who lives in California. Her son will start school next year, and he has peanut allergies (to the point they need to carry an epi-pen). The school he will be going to does not have...

  20. I think peri/rectal swabs are a humiliating 'welcome' to the hospital

    Aneroo replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above poster. I think with time, it will become accepted practice, similar to group B strep swabs for pregnant women (some docs will let swab themselves as

    If you're a licensed or registered nurse, you should be

  22. major error in NICU

    Aneroo replied to ana97abby03's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is why we fill out incident reports. I remember writing myself up over something coworkers thought was stupid, but it all goes to improve outcomes. Maybe someone else on another floor had...

  23. Pitt Country Hospital in Greenville, NC (Vidant Medical Center) unit reviews

    Aneroo replied to vld0315's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Congrats!

  24. scope of practice issue

    Aneroo replied to nminodob's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I know how to intubate thanks to ACLS training (when they included that) and EMT training. Not in my scope as a nurse (and certainly not in my scope as a school nurse
