  1. Need suggestions regarding career change

    Aneroo replied to heaverboo's topic in General Nursing

    Give it a try. If you don't like it, I am sure your old floor will welcome you back! If you love the staff, try a specialized ICU, like a surgical or trauma ICU. You will likely see a lot of the same...

    Aneroo replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    yep! we gave it a lot in the er for migraines. i don't know why, but it works. i managed to get a doctor to write me a script for it. i take my combo of tylenol/motrin/reglan when it gets bad....

  3. more layoffs

    Aneroo replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital my husband works for is currently under a hiring freeze and did some major restructuring of

  4. Does anyone take Topamax for migraines?

    Aneroo replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I take Reglan prn. I have a student who has severe migraines (are the mild migraine? HA), and was on topamax. She is a honor student, and started failing a math class she had been doing well in- due...

  5. Seriously, you gotta find the "right" job

    Aneroo replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. My husband and I are both nurses. One of the schools I serve asked me to give a presentation about nursing to the students, and my husband was able to come with me. One thing we couldn't...

  6. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    Aneroo replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I think you'll find those people in any workplace, whether it is a nursing home, the mall, or

  7. Starting to freak out...

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm doing an online RN-BSN program starting in January. I want to get it over and done with, so I signed up for the three semester option (hoping that includes summer and I'll graduate in December...

  8. How Can You Tell if a Pt. Is Addicted???

    Aneroo replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in Addictions

    I guess I should have said withdrawals instead of DT's. You can have withdrawal symptoms if I don't get my coffee or some other form of caffiene in daily, some have it to nicotine, and narcotics are...

  9. How Can You Tell if a Pt. Is Addicted???

    Aneroo replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in Addictions

    When she goes into DT's Addictions are not broken in the hospital- make sure discharge planning has her hooked in with a pain mgt. clinic once she is

  10. Have you ever NOT shown up when you were scheduled to work?

    Aneroo replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Once, and we had gone out of town, so I obviously couldn't go in! I felt so

  11. Starting to freak out...

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I still do that now sometimes. I'll buy a few pounds of ground beef and cook it all at once and then freeze it! Luckily, the nights my husband doesn't work (he's also a nurse, but works 3 12's...

  12. Viral meningitis - precautions?

    Aneroo replied to JennyAS's topic in Emergency

    Was the room a negative pressure room? If not, they need to back on down.

  13. very excited- $50/hr

    Aneroo replied to Ally0981's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I would beware of anyplace offering that much money up front. Are they hurting that bad they need to offer that much? Also, straight out of school, I wouldn't do float pool. You need to...

  14. Teachers can "Pinch Hit" for Nurses?

    Aneroo replied to dianabay's topic in School

    Delegation, while necessary to spread ourselves as thin as we can, also shows legislature that nurses aren't needed (even if they don't/won't recognize the education and constant assessment/follow up...

  15. On-Line RN-BSN Programs: Which would u chose?

    Aneroo replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    East Carolina University. It's $99/credit hour for

  16. RN to BSN Program

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Students

    I haven't been able to find a section on it. It's considered undergrad. Am I totally missing the forum? I just want to make sure I'm posting stuff in the correct area. Anyways, I've been accepted into...

  17. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    Aneroo replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    No, but it is creepy that he got her phone number and not from her. If he's interested, get some balls and ask

  18. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    Aneroo replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    I'd speak to his attending ASAP! ETA- It took me at least half way through the post to figure out you meant a MD resident, not a nursing home resident.

  19. Is morphine compatible with TPN/lipids?

    Aneroo replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think anything was? Then again, I'm not your best answer. We didn't do that in the ER, and I certainly don't in the school.

  20. Pink Eye

    Aneroo replied to bandaider's topic in School

    I do the same thing. If it's sudden onset (you went to bed fine and woke up with junky eye), super red, and has pus, you're going home. If you have a runny nose, are sneezing and your eyes...

  21. Not fast enough

    Aneroo replied to RiverNurse's topic in Emergency

    I agree. The chest pain without a doubt comes before the urine, PERIOD. Even if it's the same crack addict who's been in three times this week and just wants a meal, this really could be the big one,...

  22. I'm worried about drawing blood and putting in IVs

    Aneroo replied to laybell's topic in General Nursing

    Practice! I agree with the comment on not showing how nervous you are. Make sure all of your supplies are together, go in, introduce yourself, and say "I'm ___________, and I'm going to start your...

  23. Missed something in clinical

    Aneroo replied to LuvMyGamecocks's topic in General Nursing

    At least you consider it a learning experience and not just an "oops"

  24. Writing The Next Chapter Of My Nursing Career

    Aneroo replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in General Nursing

    At least he isn't a Satinist. LOL You have some great options. I'd do school while you can, get that behind you, and then return with the public health background. But that's just me. Or travel the...

  25. Fyi

    Aneroo replied to Tippy-ta-ta's topic in General Nursing

    It's probably a money issue. The temp. cost of making sure all employees are trained in first aid/CPR is less costly than the future cost of lawsuit, but no one sees it that way. It also depends on if...
