  1. Uniform Guidlines where you work

    Aneroo replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Now- No flip flops or blue jeans. School system doesn't want us wearing crocs, but if I am at the health dept, I can wear them. My rule- if I can't run a code in it, I'm not wearing it. Sure, I might...

  2. Instructor Ignores Email & Says She Does Not Like Students Who Served

    Aneroo replied to MOLLBEE's topic in General Students

    They probably also get a ton of emails. When my inbox gets loaded down, I read them all, and then I usually forget to reply to some. Another thing holding things up is that sometimes the person you're...

  3. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    Aneroo replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    I had my wisdom teeth removed- I was given valium po prior to the procedure to help me relax. I remember telling my mom "I feel really drunk"- she asked how I knew what being drunk was like (I had...

  4. Stopping for an accident...

    Aneroo replied to IvyIV's topic in General Students

    Depends on how many people are there already and the situation. Normal population and you're one of the first there (no EMS yet)- yes, I would. I did it before I got my EMT cert. back in the day. If...

  5. emt-basic good idea to get it before i apply to an ER/ED?

    Aneroo replied to 8jimi8ICURN's topic in Emergency

    I can't edit, but wanted to add- by no means do I think medics are brilliant people. There are plenty who somehow made it through school, Lord knows why. There are some who know more than the doctors...

  6. $200! How are you resourceful?

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    Our school district gave us $200 each to go buy the supplies we need for the year! WOOHOO! It was at Wal-mart. Let me tell you, I was at $198.50 LOL I would have liked to have ordered from a catalog...

  7. emt-basic good idea to get it before i apply to an ER/ED?

    Aneroo replied to 8jimi8ICURN's topic in Emergency

    In NC, MY experience as a basic was that- basic. Probably had a lot to do with location. Living in a town with a large learning hospital, even the paramedics were limited with what they could do, in...

  8. Nurses with added Caregiver Role

    Aneroo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Is it normal to graduate nursing school & feel like you know nothing.

    Aneroo replied to OBGYN*RN's topic in General Nursing

    Normal! You will learn SO much more once you're on orientation-

  10. Kitty litter as an order

    Aneroo replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's pretty neat! We'd always get the bottle of mouthwash and stick a papertowel in it until it was saturated and sit it

  11. chemo and nutrition

    Aneroo replied to stalsrn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very sorry for your

  12. 6 Rights or 5 Rights?

    Aneroo replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    This got me cracked up! LOL We were taught 5, but I use the 6 rights when teaching med admin to my school

  13. $200! How are you resourceful?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    I hear you on the diabetic stuff- I bought a giant container of glucose tabs. I have three diabetics, and the hormones and stress, their sugars can go all over the place. But I have a lot of student...

  14. Confused! Want a masters degree - but, in what????

    Aneroo replied to SchoolNurseBSN's topic in School

    I'd go with either public health or education. If you work for public health, then I'd def. go through public health. If not, I'd go

  15. Cannulated an artery

    Aneroo replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    Or you don't hold pressure hard enough and you find our REALLY quick it's not venous. It took me months to get over that. If it was more than a mere trickle that came out of the arm, I just knew I had...

  16. caes study scenerios

    Aneroo replied to school28's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with Praiser. If it were a simple question, maybe, but this is just clearly copied and pasted on

  17. shouldnt precepting be teaching , not working?

    Aneroo replied to Venetian's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add- she might be a wonderul preceptor under the right circumstances. If you're short staffed, she might be trying to help others as well, and taking on a load bigger than what she

  19. RN to BSN? Stop in here....

    Aneroo replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Students

    This helps a lot! That is one thing I've really been freaking out over is how hard is it going to be compared to the ADN, and am I doing too much. I'm glad to hear they're usually understanding about...

  20. So tired of hearing about what it's like in the "real world!"

    Aneroo replied to fsaav's topic in General Students

    What you're learning is usually best practice. Doesn't mean it is the most time efficient method, or that it is done on a regular basis. Every skill you're learning should have rationale- check it...

  21. School Nurse

    Aneroo replied to thinkingaboutnursing's topic in General Nursing

    School nurses do a WHOLE lot more than bandaids and booboo's. And not all school nurses are hired through the school system- I work through public health, which is why I am required to have my BSN and...

  22. emt-basic good idea to get it before i apply to an ER/ED?

    Aneroo replied to 8jimi8ICURN's topic in Emergency

    I vote try to work at a tech (CNA 2) instead. My experience- an EMT-basic is a driver, unless it is a simple case that will go to triage when rolling in the door, or unless they need someone to do...

  23. shouldnt precepting be teaching , not working?

    Aneroo replied to Venetian's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it sounds fishy. I'd speak to the education coord. (or whoever is in charge of preceptors) and request a meeting with the three of you. Doing it is the best way to learn it, but there are far...

  24. RN to BSN? Stop in here....

    Aneroo replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Students

    I would take research immediatly after stats. I don't know exactly what we go over in research, but I am sure stats will help a LOT! Soon2Be- I'm not sure yet. I hope it is ok. LOL I know I learn...

  25. NG tubes

    Aneroo replied to ropeforwork's topic in General Students

    It happens! I always feel better when others miss too. LOL I've went down the wrong tube before- it was a psych pt, OD, about 300-350lbs who refused to cooperate and drink the charcoal. There was at...
