  1. Charge nurse with less than a year RN experience???!!

    Aneroo replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Nurse Management

    Bad idea. I remember getting ticked at one of the recent hospitals I worked in. Nurse that started around the same time as I, only I had ER experience, she had neuro ICU experience. I'd done triage...

  2. what do you do during a tornado?

    Aneroo replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    No no no. Give me a hurricane any day over a tornado warning. I'm horribly fascinated and terrified of these things at the same time. We used HICS at the last hospital I was at. I don't remember...

  3. Please pray for us!

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    We're not on lockdown yet, but it might happen. One of the larger school districts is the county is on lockdown. The students are all safe, but there was a shooting nearby. Four people were found dead...

  4. what is meant by experience?

    Aneroo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    exactly. i understand the medical floors might get some drips (although ours don't get many drips on general medical- if they need a big drip, they're on tele or the unit). some of the skills the op...

  5. Lab Question

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    What is 66T for? I had bloodwork done yesterday to confirm polycystic ovarian syndrome ( infertility) and this was one of the things ordered. I've never heard of it, and can't find any info online...

  6. TB Skin Test Question

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I gave TB skin tests to the health occupations students here at the high school two days ago. Everything went well- no one freaked, got picture perfect blebs on each injection. When I go back to...

  7. What's going to happen when we ALL leave the bedside?

    Aneroo replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, those are fightin' words.... :banghead: School nurses ARE

  8. what is meant by experience?

    Aneroo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I realize this is a whole 'nother debate, but really? Critically thinking is something that cannot be taught- it's like nursing common sense. It's gained with experience, and while the state BON might...

  9. PICCs

    Aneroo replied to 75au78's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add: I love threads like this one and the lantus one. These aren't things I do much (especially now that I'm a school nurse ), and I like reading everyones rationales and different...

  10. PICCs

    Aneroo replied to 75au78's topic in General Nursing

    I remember flushing each port with its own 10ml and then heparin per our policy. One concern with that- if the patient is also fluid overloaded or is at risk for fluid overload, the frequent flushes...

  11. Please pray for us!

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    I don't know but it's scary! I still don't think they've caught the suspect. Two parents, one teen, one toddler dead. The teen wasn't at my school, but was a student at the school of one of my...

  12. what is meant by experience?

    Aneroo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. While you might be on the same page as new grads in terms of skills (things that are performed inpatient that are normally not in a SNF), you're way ahead of them in terms of time managment...

  13. Signed State DNR form no good????

    Aneroo replied to llltapp's topic in Emergency

    My husband and I are the same way. We talk about my cousin, who had a CHI, and is now in a nursing home. She's 26. We both know we'd have taken the other off the vent a long time ago. Now she's stuck...

  14. TB Skin Test Question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, that's scary! That's the thing that confuses me- I think my technique was great. I was proud. Textbook

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Update- According to the regional newspaper, all of the schools are off of lockdown but are being

  16. Please pray for us!

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    We're still not on lockdown. No clue as to what is going on (if they've caught him yet). I'm worried about my coworkers who have schools in that

  17. TB Skin Test Question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if those with Carribean descent have received the bcg (I think that's what it is called)

  18. Info on Greenville please...

    Aneroo replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Those are fighting words...we take our football seriously! They just released the 2009 football schedule, and I can't

  19. Completely and totally disgusted.

    Aneroo replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    1- Congrats! 2- I didn't know you were in NC! 3- Go up the chain with the insurance companies. Write everything down. After my Dad needed cardioversion after his CABG, the insurance refused to pay...

  20. Assaulted by patient... VENT

    Aneroo replied to CeeKayRN's topic in Emergency

    Tap the upper lip with my fist... I'm sorry you had to deal with that, and I hope you got some (good) answers from the police. I had a former coworker who filed a report on a frequent flier for...

  21. Critical thinking questions in job interviews

    Aneroo replied to jla623's topic in General Nursing

    When in doubt, check policy/procedure or your

  23. Lab Question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I feel dumb- it totally looked like 6's and not G's. It very well could have been GGT instead. There were so many tests I can't remember them all. Insulin, testosterone, cholesterol's,...

  24. What are your "I'm a nurse, I can do this (totally unrelated)" things?

    Aneroo replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    I can start a wicked IV, but dare ask me to try to fix the broken copier or find out where the jam

  25. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    Aneroo replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I told a nurse that my first day on orientation. I got a quick come to Jesus meeting. She said to never try and say that in a code situation. OMG. Beats laxative brownies I
