  1. What punishment should this nurse get?

    Aneroo replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Marie- I didn't feel like reading all 14 pages of this thread before I had the urge to reply again. But I totally agree with you! Rules are there for a reason. What good are they if they're not being...

  2. Unnecessary testing

    Aneroo replied to Question's topic in Emergency

    EXACTLY! Not like a lot of these folks have the money to cover these bills

  3. What punishment should this nurse get?

    Aneroo replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Rules are rules, and are not there to be broken. Sounds like this nurse did realize what happened was wrong, and did what was needed to best fix the situation. Boards of Nursing do not jsut yank a...

  4. I feel like such a tattle-tale...

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    But it really irked me! One of our traveler's was in the back, with no patients. The rest of folks had patients, I was floating. When you're in the back (our overflow area) and don't have patients,...

  5. This made my day...

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    This totally made my day Saturday- Young man came in with a dislocated knee. I'm in there with him, pain meds and assessment done. Told him my name, stayed with him, did all my stuff. After his knee...

  6. Do you give up your seat for a doctor?

    Aneroo replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends- If it's one of our docs in the ED, usually, b/c I know how hard it is to get a comp. And that means they chart and make decisions, and I get my patient OUTTA THERE! :) If it's a consulting...

  7. Worst information given in shift report!!!

    Aneroo replied to AMARTIN1's topic in General Nursing

    I WORK in the ER and that peeves me off! I'll be reading through a note and see "c/o SOB", and that's it. Since when? What makes it better, worse? All that good stuff.... Makes me try so much harder...

  8. sex education in school

    Aneroo replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in School

    I think it needs to be taught in schools. And I think ALL of it needs to be taught, not just abstinence. I live in the bible belt, and the kids are basically told "Just don't do it". What good is...

  9. babies in the ER

    Aneroo replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    No reason to do that- just causes more trauma to the poor child! NG's on babies are so much easier!!! My first NGT was on a

  10. Halloween, costumes or not???

    Aneroo replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I may get a headband. Know the ones that have devil horns, a halo or something like that on it? Something easily removed! I probably won't do anything

  11. What's your nursing weakness?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just thinking of areas I know I need to work at and need to build my skills. Where are your nursing weaknesses? What do you need to work on? My labs- What causes them to be off, what the changes...

  12. Quickest results?

    Aneroo replied to funinsun's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    What Vicky said! I took my test on Friday, got the letter on Wed. My name was not in the system for another week and a half. To get into the system you're called to check, they have to do a criminal...

  13. Got any tips on what/how much to chart?

    Aneroo replied to vampireslayer's topic in Emergency

    I think I overchart, but do not plan to do it. Sounds like you already have a really good basis to go on. I've been taught to tell a story. When I look back at my charting, I think "If this goes to...

  14. What's your nursing weakness?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see someone else posting! I have to agree, peds is a problem with me. Mainly because I HATE hurting them. I get along great with them until I have to stick them- then our relationship gets a...

  15. Top 3 things new grad should know about ED

    Aneroo replied to Miss Mab's topic in Emergency

    What they said :) Ask questions! I think that's one of the reasons I feel so comfortable in my job as a new grad. I feel willing to say, "Hey, I haven't seen this, can I see?" or "Hey, I have never...

  16. question...new job and pregnant

    Aneroo replied to LincErin's topic in General Nursing

    You won't qualify for FMLA if you haven't been an employee for a year. I am in the same boat. I did not tell my boss until after I started. I did not want to risk losing my dream job over that....

  17. Latex gloves

    Aneroo replied to sunnysideup09's topic in General Nursing

    I think some of it might depend on what department you work in also. I work in the ER, so we're latex free. Only the nitrile gloves for us! I do miss latex- they fit so much better. Our other units in...

  18. My Update

    Aneroo posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    New grad, came off orientation last week. I work in a level one trauma center. I don't have ACLS, PALS or TNCC yet, so I don't get to help with the major traumas yet (unit educator says it will...

  19. NA's in the ED

    Aneroo replied to Shadelyn's topic in Emergency

    Pretty much exactly what she said. Just please don't grow an attitude! I had one the other night, when I asked "when you get a chance could you get an EKG on this guy?" she said "If you give me a...

  20. Question about reading really low BP's

    Aneroo replied to vampireslayer's topic in Emergency

    In EMS, we use palp BP's a lot- kinda hard to hear diastolic in the back on a truck.

  21. Reglan IV

    Aneroo replied to gwrn99's topic in Emergency

    We have it in the Pyxis, don't think I've ever given it IV, only po. Have also given it for migraines.

  22. What is the smallest...

    Aneroo posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    What's the smallest birth weight you've ever seen a baby survive at? We had a woman deliver tonight in the ED (she actually delivered before coming to us, baby was in her pants)- She was 26w2d...

  23. Pediatric Trach Tips

    Aneroo replied to jacesmom2's topic in General Nursing

    Biggest thing I remember from caring for a toddler with a trach was- watch their hands! I don't know how many sterile kits I went thru, because that lil girl would grab the sterile suction cath as I...

  25. Uterus Measurements

    Aneroo replied to proudmommielpn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just wanted to let you know that I too am pregnant- my doc tells me the same thing. "Everything is ok!"- I've lost 30 pounds during this pregnancy. :stone I started out overweight (HA! You think...
