  1. What to do with Freq flyers?

    Aneroo replied to cowgirlBSN's topic in School

    I was going to add this as well. I have a lot of kids who try to test the water and see how much they can trust me. They'll come in for something trivial a few times, and then they drop the bomb on...

  2. When do you refer?

    Aneroo replied to --S--'s topic in School

    Depends on local protocol- ours is a state recomendation from Prevent Blindness. Ours also depends on age and the chart used. Snellen gets referred at 20/40 in at least one eye, or if there is a two...

  4. Feeling guilty b/c I thought she was okay

    Aneroo replied to kidsnurse1969's topic in School

    Totally agree. With the older kids, they can be very dramatic, and with the two together, they can feed off of the others emotions. There is a big difference between being a mean "B" and being stern...

  5. Substitute Teachers

    Aneroo replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Something I would recommend- have them put information in their sub folder about the chronic needs kids. That way if they have a sub, and a kid has an asthma attack, hypoglycemia episode, whatever,...

  6. Need advice

    Aneroo replied to Wishinonastar's topic in School

    I've had coworkers who have given allergy injections for school staff. She was located in the office, so she was close, and had taken the shots before without any adverse reaction. She brought doctors...

  7. MSN in Nursing Education?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm almost ready to graduate from an ADN program, where our instructors are either BSN's or MSN's, and one instructor has a MAEd. I'm starting to explore what my options are for furthering my...

  8. CNA/Patient Ratio Laws

    Aneroo posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Is there a CNA/Pt ratio law in your state? To my knowledge, there is not one here in NC. I'm currently in nursing school, and have opted not to get my CNA certification back due to poor work...

  9. Peds IV Tips....

    Aneroo posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Hello! I am a new ER nurse, and I have to say, peds is one of the things I am most scared of. Does anyone have any tips on starting/maintaining peds IV's? Any help will be appreciated.

  10. How long til you received your ATT?

    Aneroo replied to TNUp2Jen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Update please! My husband graduated May 10th. We still don't have an ATT!!! When I graduated from the same program two years ago, there was a different director. I received my ATT less than a week...

  11. Do you belong to a nursing association?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you belong to a Nurses Association? Do you feel it's worth it? I'm deciding on my options. Thanks

  12. I'm so tired of being sick...what do you think?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Help! I've been sick for several weeks now. Early December, I started out with a horrible sore throat. No swollen tonsils, no pus. Sore throat and hoorificeness were my only symptoms. By about 5 days...

  13. Desperately need your advice ED nurses!

    Aneroo replied to SteveNNP's topic in Emergency

    I agree. Call your ED's dept manager, see if you can come up there for a shift to see what it's like. Your unit manager can and will go on without you. The dept will NOT crumble without you. And...

  14. Do you ever have patients that you know?

    Aneroo replied to Lurksalot's topic in Emergency

    I have taken care of coworkers before. Haven't taken care of family, and I wouldn't. Had a close friend bring in her daughter the other day for a arm fracture. She got IM morphine. I wouldn't have...

  15. Student Intern in ED-Can I be Productive??

    Aneroo replied to peds4now's topic in Emergency

    If they have more experience in an emergency type setting, that's why you were put there. You don't, and you need it. It's not going to harm them if they're not placed there since they've seen it...

  16. Pregnant new grad in the ED?

    Aneroo replied to lovethechaos's topic in Emergency

    Awesome! FMLA is considered maternity leave, but it can also be used if a close family member is sick or you have a non-pregnancy related illness. We don't have short term disability at the facility I...

  17. How would your ER handle these patients?

    Aneroo replied to luckylucyrn's topic in Emergency

    Depends on the complaint. If a 16yr old comes in with a certain complaint (ob/gyn), we usually do not require consent. (Because sometimes they would not come to be seen if their parents knew what was...

  18. Pregnant new grad in the ED?

    Aneroo replied to lovethechaos's topic in Emergency

    I haven't read the other posts. Forgive if I am stepping on toes, or if this has already been mentioned. I've been working in our ED for a year. I was about 10 wks pregnant when I started. This was a...

  19. "Welcome to the Jungle"

    Aneroo posted a topic in Emergency

    So here's my idea... I went into the ED as a new grad. I am thinking of trying to do a "ED for new grads" handbook for the place I work at. Something with some general info to help better orient a new...

    Aneroo replied to ltvixen's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    hehehe- I just replied to your post in the ER thread. lol Forgot I had already replied to this one! Not much of a social life, but I have a new child at home, so socializing isn't high on my list...

  21. North Carolina New Grad Er Programs

    Aneroo replied to ltvixen's topic in Emergency

    Hurricanes depend year to year. Gville is about an hour and a half inland, so we don't the the brunt of the storm like the coast. We get high winds, some flooding, but *usually* not as bad as the...

  22. Read the article about calling 911 to get seen faster???

    Aneroo replied to missboo622's topic in Emergency

    Repeat offender came in through EMS (and then triage), was discharged and went into the lobby and registered AGAIN. Left before being seen, and then re-registered. Told the triage nurse "I'm having...

  23. RN's vs LAB

    Aneroo replied to chaosRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have the same problem with radiology. "We need a urine pregnancy test done also (for an ultrasound), in case the beta hcg is too low." Ummmm- if the beta is too low, then the urine sure as heck...

    Aneroo posted a topic in Emergency

    We're trending towards placing all psych patients into gowns, placing their belonings into labeled belongings bags and keeping those bags at the nurses station. They're trying to do this to keep the...
