  1. Would you buy one?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    let me try this again without breaking TOS. :) A certain chain store has AED's for sale, for a large price (over $1000). It reports it's the only place a layperson can purchase one. How do you feel?...

  2. Help me! Freaking out bad over Nclex

    Aneroo replied to lela186's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Those questions are good. I got 75 questions, and I was freakin' out! I thought before "I will probably get 75. That'd rock". Of course, when I did, I automatically thought "OMG, I failed. I bombed"-...

  3. YAY!! I'm a new ER RN!!! Need suggestions!!!

    Aneroo replied to RJAngel_RN's topic in Emergency

    http://browse.barnesandnoble.com/browse/nav.asp?visgrp=nonfiction&N=230580&Ne=230548+230580&userid=Tt4RRftC0S I think I have the Manual of Emergency Care- awesome book. I joined ENA. I...

  4. Your Pet and your schedule...

    Aneroo replied to KatieBell's topic in General Nursing

    I have kitties. I would love a dog, but it isn't going to happen with my schedule. We had one cat, and he was ok. Then we got a kitten, so they'd keep each other company. They are their own best

  5. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Aneroo replied to collegegurl_2003's topic in General Nursing

    Can you go to the registars office and talk to them about? Take a copy of your marriage certificate. Also, when I applied to get my new SS card, they printed me out a paper that said I had requested a...

  6. Clinic Nurses...Do You Use Another Doctor for Your Personal Doctor???

    Aneroo replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably see a different provider than the one I work with. More personal thing I guess. I wouldn't go around sharing personal healthcare info with my docs- I just don't see the need for them...

  7. Slugged in the chest by med-surg patient

    Aneroo replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    WTH! There should have been no "speaking to"- there should have been a "We're calling security" moment and some restraints. Were they with it? Maybe it's just where I work, but that sort of behavior...

  8. Liability

    Aneroo replied to GiantHeart21's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the offense. Certain offenses have to be reported to the state BON. They will be the ones to investigate it and determine if you will lose your license. I found out in nursing school...

  9. Would you buy one?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about the use in home setting for cardiac patients- then I thought "Get a pacemaker!" It is cool to me that these are becoming much more available, however, it scares me to think about them...

  10. Nursing caps required at your job?

    Aneroo replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    We do not. I have seen a few nurses wearing the caps, but they are usually of a different culture. For nsg graduation (last year), we wore caps when we got pinned. It was nice to have the pics. When...

  11. Admission of mother & baby after delivery outside of hospital

    Aneroo replied to kathiecnm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How big is your ED? We're lucky enough to have equipment down there for a neonatal resus, although OB and NICU will still bring their own- we have what we can to get us by until they arrive. We have...

  12. Does your hospital offer on-site childcare?

    Aneroo replied to Nurse Valium's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Unsure of hours. Price is about $130/week for an infant for a F employee. Price is cheaper during the summer. It's on my list of things to do VERY soon (to check out daycare). Our facility...

  13. Scenario:What would you do?

    Aneroo replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Bingo. Had this happen recently- it made me so mad, and so sad for the patient. DNR, end stage CA with multi mets. Came in for unresponsiveness. Her h/h was low, family agreed to transfuse her. Thank...

  14. Longest "Visit" in ER b/4 admitted to your floor

    Aneroo replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    So far I've seen about 30 something hours. We're in the process of building a "holding unit" for admits waiting for beds, so at least they'll be more comfy, and it will also free up space in the ED...

  15. Have you ever had to use CPr on the job or anywhere else?

    Aneroo replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I did my CPR re-cert in october, and it was still 15:2 then. I didn't realize this until there was a code going on nearby and I could hear the beep from when they'd do compressions, and I...

  16. Have you ever had to use CPr on the job or anywhere else?

    Aneroo replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    They've actually changed the ratio for CPR for adults. I belive it's now 30compressions: 2 breaths. I *think* one of the reasons behind the change was because of the lay person being reluctant to do...

  17. Admission of mother & baby after delivery outside of hospital

    Aneroo replied to kathiecnm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly :) I'm assuming all of the above info is if they present to L&D triage. For us, if you come thru ED- Less than 20wks- Depends on what's happening. OB complaint, ED sees you then will...

  18. Anyone ever pass out at work....I just did :'(

    Aneroo replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    I almost have. Luckily, I was in orientation and my preceptor was in the room. I just quietly said "I need to go sit down, now." and walked out. I think she realized I wasn't feeling good (she knew I...

  19. Internship in the ER

    Aneroo replied to cindyRN 2006's topic in Emergency

    Are you working as an LPN, or are you doing an intern as a nursing student (I see those as two totally different things). Just make sure you're not crossing boundaries within your scope of practice...

  20. Oh, by the way, the pt. has latex allergy (rant).

    Aneroo replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    But you know how important that tiny bit of information is! Shame on them for missing such a vital part of patient history! And good for you guys for catching it before someone had a major

  21. Have you ever had to use CPr on the job or anywhere else?

    Aneroo replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    I've done CPR twice, participated in many codes though- just wasn't thumping a chest. I've seen the ones where the call it a minute after the patient rolls in the door (the 95yo 90lb nsg home pt who...

  22. Another pet peeve....ER nurses who treat us like idiots

    Aneroo replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Very thoughtful of you! I would appreciate it if some of our LTC nurses did that around here (although I'm sure they're just as busy). We do see some nasty stuff come in, and we have to wonder...

  23. Increase in I&D's in the South?

    Aneroo replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    I've seen several "spider bites" also. Then I have to try to explain to them that it's an infection, not a spider bite. I would hate to mess with the spider that would crawl up someones butt crack to...

  24. Getting pregnant on Nights

    Aneroo replied to Giggles's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm almost 38 weeks pregnant- and I work 3pm-3am my entire pregnancy. I'm begging for labor now- maybe I need to start working until 7am? I agree. Start charting your cycles (check out Taking Charge...

  25. showers on nightshift and time for residents to get up in the morning?

    Aneroo replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Not to mention these are dementia patients- I cannot imagine how the disturbing their normal patterns would mess them up even more, ya know! What about a bath team during the day? When I worked as a...
