  1. Anyone in school at Craven Community College?

    Aneroo replied to MJJFan1's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Good luck! I remember waiting to get my letter. I knew someone else had already gotten theirs, I knew it was on it's way. Oh buddy, I screamed when I saw the FAT envelope.

  2. my first birth!

    Aneroo replied to elizabells's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I did clinicals, I thought I would cry. I ended up being too involved to cry or get emotional. I decided to go during the night on a full moon. :chuckle I paid for it. Within the first 10...

  3. Is working night shift expected of new grads?

    Aneroo replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really depends on the unit you're going to. If it's someplace that is already short shifted, you're more likely to have to work nights at times. It may only be once or twice a month...

  4. Blood Filters and Lasix

    Aneroo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    My tubing for blood is always dedicated tubing. I disconnect the tubing, flush with saline, give lasix SIVP, then flush with saline again. Then for the next set I get more tubing. I agree with the...

  5. Pumping to induce labor??

    Aneroo replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've heard this as well, but heard it was not recommended- what I heard was you would waste your colostrum? (Did I even spell that right?) Anyone heard of this? The only thing I did to help induce my...

  6. Situation Haunting Me

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

    Good idea! How long have you been in the ED? I'm a new nurse as well in the ED. After I came off orientation, I sat down with my unit educator and my preceptor. We came up with a list of other...

  7. Patient Almost Coded

    Aneroo replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good prioritizaton (spelling?) for who to see first, and good catch on realizing something not good was happening! How scary it must have been for you, and also very frustrating. Was anything...

  8. ADN or BSN please read before you flame

    Aneroo replied to tankandroxy's topic in General Nursing

    And if you work somewhere decent, they'll PAY for your BSN.

  9. If you have to go to the ER...

    Aneroo replied to mom23RN's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, I do thatt. I had tonsillitis one time, went to urgent care. Couldn't speak. I had my s/s written down along with how long I had them, and had a list of my meds/dose/last dose... The triage...

  10. RN to BSN East Carolina online

    Aneroo replied to june77's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'm with you on that one. All I need is to take stats before I can be accepted (unless something has changed in the past few years, I need to go speak to someone over there). Don't know when I'll get...

  11. I got written up and it's bringing me down

    Aneroo replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    WHOA Cheetah, slow down. Give the person a break. No reason to get ugly about this, you're way off topic. Drop

  12. How to decline job offer

    Aneroo replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with both posts. When I turned down an offer, I used resume paper, typed out a letter, pretty much stating what the other posts stated- thanked her for the opportunity, accepting another...

  13. Formula Companies & Big Tobacco

    Aneroo replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a mom struggling with breastfeeding, THANK YOU! I was so fearful to ask for formula in the hospital- however, my baby wouldn't latch well, and I had been going on about 5 hours sleep (in 48hrs...

  14. What is a "Code Black"?

    Aneroo replied to sugabuga's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard of Code black being a bomb threat, as well as a tornado warning. The only ones I can think of that we have are Red- Fire Blue- Code Pink- child/infant abduction Dr. Search- bomb threat...

  15. Weapons on Site

    Aneroo posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Does your facility allow officers (city cops, sherrif) to carry their weapons at the facility? I live in NC, where nearby at a state-run mental facility, while a patient was being admitted, he managed...

  16. Funnies/scariest thing to ever happen to you in the ED??

    Aneroo replied to mom23RN's topic in Emergency

    LOL at nasal tampons- I had a patient who had nose bleeds. I remember walking in and thinking "It looks like he has tampons in his nose". Could have saved him a lot of money and told him to go buy...

  17. Family member RN asked for resignation yesterday

    Aneroo replied to GooeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hated to say it, but I agree with this poster. In nursing school, after a rough test, I remember we would joke about a C grade earning the same RN as an A grade. As true as is it, there are several...

  18. Sickle Cell Crisis Question LONG VENT!!

    Aneroo replied to RN-TO-BE's topic in General Nursing

    I have never thought of SCC pain this way, but what an awesome way of putting it! We don't use demerol anymore at our facility. I have given morphine, then we usually go to dilaudid. Some docs are...

  19. Lay Midwives?

    Aneroo replied to topamicha's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    That's so sad- However, I do agree with the decision to prosecute her. She knew she did not have the go ahead to be practicing as a midwife. Just because you have the skills to do something doesn't...

  20. Bleeding out

    Aneroo replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you were there for this patient! I think you've already addressed the problem- the other nurse didn't understand the severity of it (because she's not familiar with that patient or the...

  21. Bruit and Thrill | How to Identify & Nursing Overview

    Aneroo replied to kgrieco53's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Thrills feel kinda like what a cats neck feels like when it's purring really

  22. Pitocin

    Aneroo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can anyone give me some insight into deliveries with pit? If induced with pit, how often do you see them have to do c-sections? I'm being induced Friday evening, starting with Cervidil. I am just...

  23. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

    Aneroo replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say as I trust our security (some of them, yes, some of them, def NOT). Luckily, I work with an awesome team of nurses who stick up for each other. And we have some BIG men nurses working with...

  24. Strength & Conditioning for Healthcare Providers

    Aneroo replied to Aunt Minnie's topic in General Nursing

    Think abs, back, and upper legs- The muscles you should be using to help move patients. Our gym has trainers that will make a program for you. Certain exercises depending on what you want to work on....

  25. problems on orientation

    Aneroo replied to noelle4's topic in Emergency

    You've made steps towards the right thing to do (getting a new preceptor). Some folks out there just weren't meant to be preceptors. Were there a lot of other new folks starting around the same time...
