  1. Hiring freezes, cut backs?

    Aneroo replied to Floridanurse's topic in General Nursing

    We have a hiring freeze here. I think it's less lack of patients and more lack of

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

    Aneroo replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    I am doing mine online, but at a state university (cost a WHOLE lot less). If all goes as planned, I will only have to go there twice (once for orientation and once for

  5. School Teachers

    Aneroo replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, very well stated. Even if you know the teacher will not respond, go through the appropriate chain of

  6. Where to get a BSN?

    Aneroo replied to Flightline's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but all of the ones I know of you need to do clinicals. Nature of the

  7. Restraining patients

    Aneroo replied to T123G123's topic in General Nursing

    I think almost all of us have. Due to legal issues, most places try not to do restraints, and you should document everything you have done prior to restraints (to prove you did what you could to keep...

  8. Fake Illness

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I wanted to add- if a student wants to go home, we call. I might tell them "I don't think this is something you need to go home about, but if you really feel that bad, then let's call your parents"....

  9. Common Medications

    Aneroo replied to abcdefghijKIRA's topic in Emergency

    Avelox. I couldn't remember the name, just could only remember that it was yellow. Was talking with one of my teachers today and someone who had pneumonia when "AVELOX!!!" popped into my

  10. Question about thankyou letter

    Aneroo replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would! That will keep your name and thoughtfulness fresh in their mind when making their

  11. Common Medications

    Aneroo replied to abcdefghijKIRA's topic in Emergency

    Don't forget the antibiotics- Ancef, Rocephin, Azithromycin, Vancomycin... ETA- Almost all of your ACLS drugs (bicarb, epi, atropine, adenosine, amio, dopamine,

  12. Excessive Foley drainage

    Aneroo replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    thank you! what about the burn patient though? her bladder wasn't very full yet (our trauma team had a cna on it, and on of their first tasks is to get the foley inserted, so it was inserted when she...

  13. Giving Vitamin K IV

    Aneroo replied to SweetTeaRN's topic in Emergency

    I've never given it IV due to the reaction risk. I liked po. Usually the patients didn't have good veins to being with, and I am going to try my best to avoid poking you with anything since your INR...

  14. Fake Illness

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I agree with the others. I assess them anyways- my time in the ER taught me that the person who comes in three times a week might have a real complaint one day (like my psych patient who really was...

  15. Elevated K+--insulin?

    Aneroo replied to EJSRN's topic in General Nursing

  16. Elevated K+--insulin?

    Aneroo replied to EJSRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add- the worst K I've seen was over 9!!! She was awake and alert, but her HR was in the 30's. We gave insulin, D50, she was getting a neb treatment, got calcium (which I'm calling the...

  17. Elevated K+--insulin?

    Aneroo replied to EJSRN's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing to go along with this- If a patient comes in with hyperglycemia and receives a lot of insulin to lower it, be sure to be supplementing their K+ either in a drip or po- if anything at...

  18. Vent...maybe a cry for help.

    Aneroo replied to CNAfromNC's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    You're welcome. Hopefully it hasn't changed much! Good luck with the re-cert. For contacting admin- send a certified letter. That way when you report it to the state, there is no question as to...

  19. NC Nurse Salary

    Aneroo replied to ssanders80's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It doesn't make it easier. The new nurses come in, do their two years, and most of them dislike it so much they leave as soon as they can. I had several friends who did that "scholarship" and bailed...

  20. Excessive Foley drainage

    Aneroo replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    I had a coworker clamp a foley on a burn patient (since we were of course loading her liter after liter of fluid). She said we were going to bottom out her pressure because of the excessive urinary...

  21. What area of public health do you work in?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Public, Community Health

    Thank you for replying! I was afraid no one ever would! I'm amazed at how many of us (school nurses) actually work through the schools and not another agency (public health or a hospital). I like...

  22. Waiting in the clinic...

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    Or the small hole in the wall if you're like me. Another thread mentioned what students do while waiting for parents, and I saw several mentions about waiting in the clinic/nurse office. How much...

  23. Vent- I am NOT the cafeteria!

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    This is the SECOND time I've seen this student for "my stomach hurts". Before I even start an assessment, he states "I didn't eat breakfast and I'm hungry". WTH! You're on free and reduced...

  24. How much education do you do in class?

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    I was asked to do a presentation to two of the health classes on nutrition today. Those students thought I was crazy. LOL First class was good. We did good, I think they got a lot of the info. Second...

  25. What is your ratio?

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    How far are you from the 1:750 goal for healthy students? I'm at about 1:1000, which is about the going ratio here. I have three schools. One big high school (800-ish students), one small high school...
