  1. what to do for an interview at nursing home

    Aneroo replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Agreed!

  2. Did you catch a disease while working as a nurse?

    Aneroo replied to bronzemint23's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, UTI when I was pregnant- combo of not drinking enough and not peeing enough when at work. I peed in a cup on the unit, did a dip on it, called my ob b/c there were leuk's and nitrites, and she...

  3. 24 Things ER Nurses Know All Too Well

    Aneroo replied to RN_in_SC's topic in Emergency

    LMAO

  4. From med/surg to ED nursing

    Aneroo replied to bubba04's topic in General Nursing

    I think one thing that is hard for floor nurses to adjust to is the assessment. Sure, we do a head to toe if needed. But if you came in for a sprained ankle and there is nothing else involved, that's...

  5. Involuntary Commitment

    Aneroo replied to will robinson's topic in General Nursing

    Are you at PCMH? I remember our hospital police sitting with IVC's once they had paperwork. Until then, the people on psych precautions (anyone with a psych complaint) were being watched- we had a NA1...

  6. Things you would like the ICU to understand

    Aneroo replied to I_LOVE_TRAUMA's topic in Emergency

    I go through this a lot with my husband. He is an ICU nurse. I am a former ER nurse (but my heart is still in it). He calls on the way home, venting about "the ER didn't do this, and didn't do this"....

  7. The Trauma after the Trauma

    Aneroo replied to ScrappyED's topic in Emergency

    Thank you for posting that- it was very well written. I remember having a similar episode after a code. She was in the ortho office for leg pain, when she stood up, she passed out. Her 16 year old...

  8. I'm gonna scream...

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Yeah- the not knowing left or right scares me. These are ninth graders. This is our future, and they don't know which side is which. LOL You can make a L with your left hand. Most of you write with...

  9. Central Carolina Hospital

    Aneroo replied to yogalove's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    My mother in law is an APN in that area- she works at the hospital, but not for the hospital. I'm not sure about staff satisfaction. I'm wary of the big companies like that, especially

  10. Info on Greenville please...

    Aneroo replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Sorry you feel you've had such a bad experience at Pitt, but amazed you've stayed there so long if you feel SO strongly about it. I went to nursing school in Gville, and did my first two years there...

  11. The Otoscope

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    My otoscope is at home. I know how to use it, but have no idea what any findings I have would mean, and if it was a screaming infection, I couldn't do anything about it anyways. I just tell them I...

  12. 24 Things ER Nurses Know All Too Well

    Aneroo replied to RN_in_SC's topic in Emergency

    - Bad things happen to good people. Bad people survive and get away with probation. - Do not bring luggage to the

  13. The Flu

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Have you seen the google website? It tracks how many people are searching the flu and flu symptoms. It's somewhat accurate and is more up to date.

  14. What do you do with your BMI results?

    Aneroo replied to PattyB RN's topic in School

    We send a letter home. I sent a letter home to everyone I screen, since I am doing vision at the same time. If you're not allowed to do anything, at least save the data. Use it to show the need in...

  15. Having trouble finding posts for school nurse positions in NC

    Aneroo replied to opcgirl0505's topic in School

    The SNANC website just redirects you to the NASN website or to the LEA. Wake Co. Public Schools are under a hiring freeze. I do not know what kind of private schools are around that area, but surely...

  16. Coping with a wide-scale trauma..

    Aneroo replied to Dempather's topic in Emergency

    There is a piece of flair on facebook about trauma nursing that says: "It's not that I want you to get hurt. I just want to be there when you do". I think that fits well with most patients. If it was...

  17. Cutters

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    Any advice on how to deal with cutters? Guidance brought me a cutter today- he was already in there for counseling, and needed his arm bandaged (multiple superficial lacs from fingertips to elbow). No...

  18. The Flu

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    life has been so crazy lately! 1- really not loving the new format. still finding it really hard to get around. 2- started bsn classes in early january. i did cut my course load, but it's still rough....

  19. What kind of work do you do in the summer??

    Aneroo replied to tleigh7097's topic in School

    I work during the summer (don't work for the LEA), but I would probably do camp nursing. I think it'd be

  20. The Flu

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I just sent my first one home that I am pretty sure has the flu. I had a ton of norovirus stuff earlier in the year. Thank God that's

  21. Having trouble finding posts for school nurse positions in NC

    Aneroo replied to opcgirl0505's topic in School

    NC varies. I'm in western NC, and work through the health department. Most NC school nurses work through the LEA (the school). Good luck, and be open to other areas b/c of the state budget crunch....

  22. Persistent Vomiting with Feeding Tube

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. We're a pretty small town, and she went to the PMD, but I don't know if it is a plain ol' general med doctor or if it was a gastro specialist. She said the doctor ran out of ideas, and...

  23. Persistent Vomiting with Feeding Tube

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am the school nurse, therefore I am the expert, and get all sorts of questions. A coworker has an adult son who in wheelchair bound and gets bolus feedings bid. Has tolerated this without problems...

  24. Weirdest ailment you have seen in the schools?

    Aneroo replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    Frequent flier came in and said "I had a nosebleed last week and blood came out of my nose. What does that mean?" I can understand the concern, but stop using class time to come ask me stuff about...

  25. Sure Has Been Quiet !

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I agree! I've been pretty busy. MY classes started today (online BSN). Also, at the high school level, they start a new semester in a week and a half (finals next week)- so I have a lot of paperwork...
