  1. CT's

    Aneroo replied to RNLex's topic in Emergency

  2. SO- Patients in Gowns

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Emergency

    I'm not saying it won't keep them from eloping. But it sure makes them a whole lot more visible if they're running down the street, than if they were in street clothes. Luckily, we have a metal...

  3. How does your facilty handle triage of OB pts?

    Aneroo replied to Pedi-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    It depends on what is going on. Under 20 weeks, it's our initially (have seen some 18 weekers about to abort go to L&D). Over 20 weeks, it depends. If you're tachycardic, or have a non-OB...

    Aneroo replied to onlyER4me's topic in Emergency

    Have used Diprivan for a CS of a 2yo. Attending MD was at bedside. Procedure was over in 10 minutes, and patient was awake 5 minutes after the procedure ended. Have also used ketamine, have also used...

  5. IV's- nursing or medical decision?

    Aneroo replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    I am not sure if we have protocols or not, but have yet to have a doc get upset about us starting an IV. I like to go ahead, get my line in and get my blood drawn. That way if they order some meds...

  6. patient satisfaction

    Aneroo replied to RNLex's topic in Emergency

    We too are doing calls as follow ups. We're trying to make patients more informed. "We're waiting on this lab result. We've called this person, do not know when he will be down here" We're also...

  7. patient satisfaction

    Aneroo replied to RNLex's topic in Emergency

    So they're sacrificing what's right/wrong (feeding a persons KNOWN addiction and abuse of the system) to keep patient scores high? Chances are she didn't even give the right address/number to...

  8. Is there a doctor or nurse on board this flight?

    Aneroo replied to Gompers's topic in General Nursing

  11. NCBON views on visible tattoos

    Aneroo replied to mamaof7's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I would doubt you would be able to use makeup on your hand to cover it- It'd easily be washed off by the first hour at

  12. ICU holds in the ER

    Aneroo replied to Altra's topic in Emergency

    We sometimes send a patient to the unit without admission orders (if they're a fresh patient and can get there quickly, we'll ship them up. We'll give report, and the docs with follow us up and finish...

  14. how can I help you?

    Aneroo replied to mirasmommy's topic in Emergency

    Don't NOT ask questions! Ask, ask, ask! Many nurses and docs love to teach, whether they realize it or not. Esp residents. :) I used to like to let nurses know my role when I was in nursing school. If...

  15. As a patient, do you disclose your qualifications?

    Aneroo replied to lisalau's topic in General Nursing

    Not on purpose. When I had tonsillitis and couldn't talk, I had my meds, allergies, and pmhx written down for them- she said "Do you work in healthcare?" When I had Anna, the RN was about to put in my...

  16. I had a patient fall

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Aneroo replied to lindamb's topic in Ob/Gyn

  20. Journaling Clubs

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    I mentioned it to my nurse mgr and the nurse educator for my unit (ED). They said they had considered it, but nothing was in place. It was said jokingly "Why don't you start one?"- I could. Esp since...

  21. What did you do before you started teaching?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Of course, I'm sure it's nursing. What I am curious to know is, what was your speciality? L&D, med-surg, ED? How did you best prepare for the subjects you were not familiar with?

  22. James Sprunt Community College

    Aneroo replied to nuberianne_RN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  23. Don't Rough My Newborn Up!!!!!!!

    Aneroo replied to capribry's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I highly recommend Dr. Karp's book "The Happiest Baby on the Block". It talks about the "4th trimester", and the calming reflex. It includes the 5 S's- Swaddling, Sucking, Swinging, Shhh (think loud...
