  1. Er Salary

    Aneroo replied to nursern20's topic in Emergency

    Probably depends on facility. Where I work, you do not get special pay for certs (ACLS, PALS, TNCC)- b/c you are expected to get these after working there for a certain amount of time. At other...

  2. Gifts for Instructors @ Graduation

    Aneroo replied to suzy253's topic in General Nursing

    I think the roses are an excellent idea. I would either do that, or nothing at all. Our instructors asked us not to get them anything- they did not want there to be an issue of "favorites" (because...

  3. Really bumbed no baby in uterus (yet???)

    Aneroo replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    *hugs* All is possible! With my pregnancy (the one I am almost done with!), I had my first positive HPT. Took a urine test at the docs office, negative. I had my test in my pocket, so they sent me for...

  4. relocaton/transfering license info needed - CONFUSED

    Aneroo replied to LuvEnjoyLife's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I checked, and NJ is not one of the compact states, so you can't go that route. But like another poster said, when you register to take the NCLEX, you put down what state you want the license in....

  5. New Years nightmare?

    Aneroo replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Emergency

    NYE was rough, just busy. I think after I left (i was supposed to leave at 0300, left at almost 0400) there was an SUV that turned over, brought in about 8 patients. NYD kicked my butt. Plain and...

  6. IUD Question

    Aneroo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is it common practice to NOT check a urine hcg on a woman prior to IUD placement? I understand it's placed while a woman is having her menses- but just because you're bleeding doesn't mean it's...

  7. Lasix and Foley for female patients..automatic ?

    Aneroo replied to carachel2's topic in Emergency

    My thoughts exactly. There is no way I'm having a pt move all about the bed, or try and get up OOB when they need all the oxygen they can get. Their hearts are taxed enough as it is, I don't need to...

  8. Finding FHT early in pregnancy

    Aneroo replied to Littlewonder's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agreed. First thing I do is tell them "We may not be able to hear it. It might be too early", and explain to them sometimes the HB can't be heard that early. I don't want someone freakin' out because...

  9. hyperemesis

    Aneroo replied to jeepgirl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I forgot this! The smells were what got me! Mints were a God send! I couldn't eat Taco Bell or hot dogs for a good part of this pregnancy because of the smells! (And try telling a preggo not to eat...

  10. hyperemesis

    Aneroo replied to jeepgirl's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I did Zofran, but my MS was never that bad (I did start taking the Zofran prior to when it would have started though). My sis had HG, plus gastroparesis. She ended up with a PICC line and some IV...

  11. Lowest K Level You've Seen

    Aneroo replied to LISAMAR's topic in General Nursing

    I want to say it was 1.6 but it was another nurses patient. I've had a patient with a K of 9.1 First week off of

  12. What do you always try to put on an IV pump?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    In the ED, we put a lot of stuff on gravity or dial-a-flows. However, there are certain things I am anal about putting on a pump. Anything with K Blood Of course anything that has to be regulated...

  13. Abnormal PAP: I'm scared!

    Aneroo replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    I've had one as well- I was 19. Cancer was not something a 19year old shoulder have to think about, so I am sure I was just as freaked as you are right now. I had the colopscopy done. The actual...

  14. Discharge orders you'd LIKE to write!!!

    Aneroo replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Emergency

    :rotfl: My DH has one of those scars on his back too!!! :rotfl: He had his mom bring home some lido and a scapel and she did it. There is NO

  15. **Organ Donation**

    Aneroo replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    I think the rich one would be the person whose life is saved. I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences with the organ donation process. I have made sure my family knows my wishes (no extreme...

  16. How do you handle miscarriage/ IUFD?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I often find myself at a loss when I have a pt in the ED who is told she is having a miscarriage. I don't know what to say, what's right, other than "I'm sorry". Any advice? Words of wisdom? I have...

  17. nursing schools in southeast NC

    Aneroo replied to nuberianne_RN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    No matter where you live in eastern NC, you WILL have to travel to get to either school or clinicals! :) I am in Pitt Co, so school wasn't too bad, neither was most of clinicals. I did have to do...

  18. How do you handle miscarriage/ IUFD?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is RTS? I'm an ED nurse, so I don't believe we have anything like that down there (that I've heard of).

  19. I Did It---I QUIT!!

    Aneroo replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

  20. Question regarding nurses wasting narcs with city paramedics in the ER????????

    Aneroo replied to austin heart's topic in Emergency

    We do the same. However, I'm not fond of the practice. Someone could easily pull up some NS in a syringe and say it was morphine (the medics here have a bad habit of pulling up the full amount of med...

  21. Singing the praises of AWESOME doctors!!! =)

    Aneroo replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Dr. A He KNOWS his patients. I have never seen him in the ED- he always gives up verbal orders for admissions. But he will sit there, and is able to name off allergies, the meds the patient takes, and...

  22. Decub's starting in the ED

    Aneroo posted a topic in Emergency

    The other day when I came into work, it was an admission nightmare. There were people who had been waiting 26 hours for an open bed. We try and get people hospital beds when issues like that arise,...

  23. Vent

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was in a patients room tonight, he had the news on tv. There had a small bit on the local universities graduation ceremonies. There were two nursing students on there, talking about "We're so glad...

  24. Vent

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for letting me vent you guys. :) I totally understand where they're coming from. That's why I graduated from the community college, instead of them university that they did! :chuckle I guess...

  25. So she go after the sabotaging nurses's license or job?

    Aneroo replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't been following on the story, but I believe this thread needs to be closed. It's beginning to become an
