  1. Working in the ER pregnant

    Aneroo replied to county162's topic in Emergency

    TB and meningitis patients don't present during the daytime? My co-workers have all been very supportive with my pregnancy. "Don't push that!" or "You don't need to take care of this patient, we don't...

  2. What Grossness Is Cool?

    Aneroo replied to mshooha's topic in Emergency

    LOL... Had a doc who decided to go squeeze one on a dude's back, and didn't wear eye protection- GROSS when it hit him in the face. Did he learn? Heck no! Was telling us about this happening to him...

  3. HIGH Blood Pressure

    Aneroo replied to Nursing Eyes's topic in Emergency

    And how could I forget patient teaching... These folks are in and out of the hospital all the time! Poor compliance a lot of times. Sometimes you have to give them the "You're going to have a stroke....

  4. HIGH Blood Pressure

    Aneroo replied to Nursing Eyes's topic in Emergency

    Not really sure what you mean. Do you mean what medical problems do the patient present with along with the HTN? I usually see pain, headache, CVA symptoms, nausea and anxiety (not all at the same...

  5. Sweet Dreams, Baby! Tell us about your strange dreams r/t nursing

    Aneroo replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I only have dreams about work if I've had a rough night. Usually it's the dreams where I am redoing something in my head (Maybe I should/could have done it like

  6. Am I Being Wrong?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure I'm going to get flamed.... I'm almost 28weeks pregnant by this point. So far, I've been doing a lot of work. I lift, I push, I pull, and care for some isolation patients. My co-workers have...

  7. Is buying a present for a pt. appropriate?

    Aneroo replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Wonderful idea, heart is in the right place. However, what if your other patients found out? "He's the favorite!" and such... It crosses a line I don't think you should cross. However, maybe...

  8. Admission times

    Aneroo replied to PedsERRN's topic in Emergency

    Hehehe... If you tell the secretary "Oh, they're busy? I'll just do a fax report and then send them up", that nurse usually finds a way to get on the phone fairly

  9. Flu Vaccination During Pregnancy

    Aneroo replied to zambezi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Greetings. I am due to get my flu shot soon (my hospital just did get the darn thing). A pregnancy forum I frequent has had a lot of heated debates on this subject recently. Many of the women there...

  10. How would you document

    Aneroo replied to Nurseinthemaking's topic in General Nursing

    Better than what I've seen from other people (ex: Pain in right hip). Clicking and popping with movement? Pulses, motor and sensation distal to pain? Pain increase or decreased with anything? Further...

  11. Good Housekeeping Artice?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks you guys! I'll be heading to B&N before work to pick up a copy (and maybe some Starbucks).

  12. report to the ICU

    Aneroo replied to gizelda196's topic in Emergency

    I call report on ICU patients. If they're going to an ICU, I don't have the time to fill out a report sheet- I want to call report and get them outta here! We are required to fill out report sheets...

  13. Working in the ER pregnant

    Aneroo replied to county162's topic in Emergency

    :) AnnaBelle Marie It's a family name- my grandmother's full name, and strangely enough, his grandmother is also named

  14. Is it ethical for hospitals to have Mickey D's on premises?

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

    I think there is something wrong with the pic. However, those same folks can just as easily buy a greasy burger from the cafeteria (we don't have a McD's yet). Maybe a Subway would be a healtier...

  15. 30 years and this was the first time it happened, what about you?

    Aneroo replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have done it once. Actually got a debate started about it on here too. :imbar I chalk mine up to inexperience and feeling rushed. I didn't look as carefully as I should have. The one I struck felt...

  16. Does Your Facility Have the flu shot yet?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ours doesn't. We won't have it til probably early November, but they said "Don't worry, that when fly season really begins to pick up" (or something along those lines)... UM- NO! Folks out in the...

  17. Working in the ER pregnant

    Aneroo replied to county162's topic in Emergency

    I wish my hospital offered short term disability... How the HECK did we get one of the top one hundred working mothers? It's crazy... My saving grace is that we're in such high demand, I know I'll...

  18. Working in the ER pregnant

    Aneroo replied to county162's topic in Emergency

    I am one of the 7 or so preggo's we have working in our ED right now. My biggest complaint is hip pain, but I manage to work a 12 hour shift. The baby has started compressing my sciatic nerve, and by...

  19. "Miracle Baby" gives lesson in reproduction

    Aneroo replied to futureTMA's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Either TLC or Discovery Health did a show on something similar (also incuded info on vanishing twins). The mother was pregnant with twins, one in utero, the other in her abdomen. Both alive and...

  20. I have a surname. I'd like to use it.

    Aneroo replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    I feel closer to my patients with them calling me by my first name. Mrs. My Last Name sounds too professional to me- but it's my personal choice. I do call some docs by their first name also.

  21. What happened in the ER

    Aneroo replied to Shadelyn's topic in Emergency

    I agree... Young woman walks in, 'PID shuffle' (bend over holding abdomen), sexually active in any manner- BOOM! You're a floozy. I have a history of ovarian cysts, and went to the urgent care for...

  22. I think my PPD is positive

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. I finally found a pic of a positive picture, and my arm certainly doesn't look like that! The redness did not increase in size, and my arm is actually more of a pink color now- not red...

  23. I Love My Crocs!!

    Aneroo replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You can buy them without holes on top. My first pair didn't have holes. But buddy, the holes feel good when the air flows through there! :) It took me over a month to get the balls to wear my croc's...

  24. ER Pet Peeves

    Aneroo replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    I'm almost afraid to post these, just b/c of the "Well I did this one time, and you shouldn't think this" responses...Oh well. Never stopped me before. 1. "You should have it in your records."...

  25. I saw something new and scary

    Aneroo replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    Ewwie. I've always heard to put urine in an ear to help cure an ear infection. A z-pack will do me just fine,
