  1. Would you get the vaccine?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Would you get the vaccine if/when they develop

  2. No nurse is going to answer this honestly but here it goes........

    Aneroo replied to c_beshore_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I've always been one to write up more stuff than my coworkers, but didn't write down everything. To me, the incident report isn't there to get me in trouble (even though it might)- it's also there to...

  3. Tipped?

    Aneroo replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    Because some nurses wouldn't treat all patients the same way, the same reason we have EMTALA. So someone with no job and torn clothes can come in and they should receive the same care as the rich dude...

  4. Are COWs causing injury?

    Aneroo replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    WOW= Work station on

  5. First code that shouldn't have been a code (long)

    Aneroo replied to MJJFan1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unless she was at the point where she needed to be bagged, I would have called rapid response. Throw her on a NRB at 12-15lpm (unless she's a COPD'er) and pray her sats come up. (Keep in mind I worked...

  6. I have a herniated disk am I done :(

    Aneroo replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it might be harder. What is wonderful about nursing is that there are a lot of specialities you can chose from. Continue your studies. We had people in my program with chronic injuries (graduated...

  7. how you do charting???

    Aneroo replied to Lasoniamacaroni's topic in Operating Room

    Oh, I hated Meditech!!! We used it in the ER! I'm not sure what system is used in the OR where I will be working, but the main hospital used a form of EPIC (the OR has not switched over). I'm excited...

  8. Is this the general opinion?

    Aneroo replied to Bridgette_H's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Ignore what she said! I had plenty of people in my class who didn't know where they wanted to work when they started, or even when we graduated! I had several classmates who knew "I want to...

  9. Census dreadfully low at our hospital, anyone else???

    Aneroo replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    Ding ding ding!!! We have a winner!!! That is a big problem. As people are losing their jobs, they're losing their insurance. They're not able to go to their primary doctor because they either can't...

  10. Drugs with Salicilaytes or Ibuprofen

    Aneroo replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome! It's kinda scary,

  11. Are COWs causing injury?

    Aneroo replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I covered this in a paper I did last semester in my informatics class. It's worse in areas that have carpet, since the COW's can be more difficult to push there (sometimes taking more than 50...

  12. ADENOSINE ??

    Aneroo replied to laurainri's topic in Emergency

    Yes, we did a continuous 12 lead during admin. This way if they were in a normal rhythm for just a moment we'd have it captured before they went back into whatever they were in. We also had to have...

  13. Call the General Assembly about the proposed budget cuts

    Aneroo replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You know- I've never feared for my job as a nurse until I started working for local government. I live in a county that is very conservative with their budget and we're still having to freeze...

  14. Call the General Assembly about the proposed budget cuts

    Aneroo replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    They're cutting money all over the place. Maybe Mrs. Easley could give back some of the insane amount of money they used to go "explore the arts" in Europe or some of her incredibly high salary at...

  15. Drugs with Salicilaytes or Ibuprofen

    Aneroo replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    For salicylates, check out http://www.reyessyndrome.org There are links to prescription meds, OTC meds, and topical meds that have asa or salicylates in them. The list is quite

  16. 5 weeks pregnant...restrictons??

    Aneroo replied to kdaniels90603's topic in General Nursing

    For the most part, so long as you're following standard precautions you should be ok. I didn't take care of known CMV or varicella patients (even though I have varicella immunity, my charge nurses...

  17. Best shoes for swollen ankles and feet??

    Aneroo replied to csweetooth's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I will be buying a lot of those then. I get some nasty pitting edema. My vessels just don't hold onto the fluid like they should. It's relieved after sitting with my legs elevated. If I'm sitting at...

  18. Swing shift hours, day shift spouse

    Aneroo replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! I'd also start waking her up at 2-3 am. Maybe she just needs a reality

  19. Would you use a cell phone at work? Do you need a cell phone at work?

    Aneroo replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    To use it while at a nursing station to research materials- not as unprofessional as using it in a patients room or even making a personal call at the nurses station. I can look up any drug I have a...

  20. Would you use a cell phone at work? Do you need a cell phone at work?

    Aneroo replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't carry one at work. It's unprofessional. At the facility I worked at most recently, the staff we assigned a cordless phone for the day (bigger than a cell phone). I worked in the ER, and by...

  21. ROFLMAO!!

    Aneroo replied to SonicnurseRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    And DFOIC- Done fell out in church (we'd get a lot of those around 12pm, old big ladies wearing panty hose, girdle, bra and a three piece

  22. just a comment

    Aneroo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Going back to this- I've heard a lot of people say there isn't a nursing shortage because nurses aren't able to get jobs. There is a real nursing shortage and there are jobs available. There aren't...

  23. Which Hospitals are Still Hiring New Grads in NC?

    Aneroo replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm not sure about the region I'm moving from (piedmont). One hospital hired some new grads, but the ones that I knew that were hired were already working there as nursing assistants. I'm not...

  24. Please Send Good Vibes my Way!

    Aneroo replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  25. Does DNI mean no CPR?

    Aneroo replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    That is my thinking as well. I could see the point in still wanting CPR but not intubation. If it is a patient who has chronic lung issues and knows they wouldn't be able to wean from a vent, I...
