  1. My Update

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yep! I was freaked! When I heard there was a K of 9 on a patient over there, I asked a co-worker what that would do to a patient- her reply was "Cardiac arrest". Then I found out I was getting that...

  2. My Update

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah for us!! I'm sure if there was a spot open, I'd be in ACLS (I've begged for it). But, we have so many new grads starting this time of year, and our cardiac center is growing so much, it doesn't...

  3. What is the smallest...

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    That's what I worry about. I just didn't even know how likely it is that the babe survives.

  4. Opinions on Crocs

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

    I have two pair, one without any holes, one with vents and holes. I've finally just started wearing the ones with holes. They're comfy as can be! I'm just clumsy. I think it's clogs or hospital...

  5. V-tach/PVC question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks you guys. It scared me to death! Yes, it was about 8 PVC's in a row. I didn't count them as it was happening, figured the monitor would record it- it didn't! Yes, once I saw what was happening,...

  6. V-tach/PVC question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    I work in the ER. I bug my educator all the time about it (I want ACLS! I want PALS! I want TNCC! I want, I want, I want!!!) There is such a large influx of new RN's at this time of year, it's hard to...

  7. Report Sheets

    Aneroo replied to JenRN2011's topic in General Nursing

    We have a report sheet that we sent to floors we're sending patients to. We include: Dx, Admitting MD and pager #, history of present illness/pmhx; Allergies; meds patient has taken while in ER;...

  8. need advice asap

    Aneroo replied to nursedawn67's topic in General Nursing

    As I was getting ready to hit reply and tell you the same thing "see a doc!", I saw where you DID go! Good for you! Glad your blood levels came back, glad they decided it could get done outpt, glad...

  9. Morbidly obese lady on Nip/Tuck

    Aneroo replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Don't watch the show, but no, I don't think it would really happen. I think their butt would rot off first from decub from sitting there that long.

  10. Are nursing students allowed to give IV push meds?

    Aneroo replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    This may depend on what state you are in, and what kind of insurance your school has. We were allowed to give certain meds IV push with our instructor. No narcs.

  11. Ice Packs?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    A girl on another board I post on was asking about this, and you guys are the best ones I know to ask! She's looking for the pads with ice packs. She said she had them with her first child, and they...

  12. Bedside Report?????

    Aneroo replied to ckh23's topic in Emergency

    I can see two good things about bedside reporting. 1- You're less likely to pass judgement to another nurse. How many times has someone told you "This patient is a pain in the butt. He's a drug...

  13. Am I being a baby?????

    Aneroo replied to nursejennie76's topic in Emergency

    We have a nurse like that. Awesome when it comes to standing up for us, but rides our butts other times. I've learned to just go "I'm on it" and leave the situation. I would have mentioned to whoever...

  14. Mission St. Joseph's Hospital, Asheville, NC

    Aneroo replied to earthling's topic in General Nursing

    My father had his CABG there- I was impressed with the staff and the facility, and that was in 98. Can't imagine it getting bad during that time. Try posting this in the NC forum.

  15. Urine Question...

    Aneroo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Protein, Ketones and Leuk's in urine- What would it mean to you to see that in a pregger???

  16. Urine Question...

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I posted about this in break room. Lower back ache. Did a urine strip at work, positive for protein and leuk's. Did one later, positive for ketones. Did more later, same thing. Started antibx last...

  17. I got to...

    Aneroo posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    push Adenosine today for the first time! Whee! It was exciting for me. I'm off orientation in less than a week. I can't believe I've already been working this long, and it's time already. I freak...

  18. Will a new grad be considered.. if experience is required?

    Aneroo replied to newnurse.rs's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Give it a shot. You do have nursing experience (you went thru nursing school, right?)! During school, the local hospital had open interviews for RN's for most departments. I went in dressed...

  19. 17 week gestation

    Aneroo replied to Stephanie in FL's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Excellent advice. Recently had this happen to a due date buddy on another board I go to, only she was 19wks. I believe anything prior to 20 weeks is considered a miscarriage.

  20. Please walk me through a code blue

    Aneroo replied to blackIrish's topic in General Nursing

    Great advice so far. IF anything, get a basic dysrhythmia class. Luckily, you should have a code team that can run quick! I too fear my first code. I actually fear the time going into the code, where...

  21. Meds. off floor taste YUMMY!

    Aneroo replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

    And you don't have patients in on m/s that have hep or HIV? Does urine not get on the floor there? Do the ER nurses with nasty shoes not bring patients up to your floor, or do you have door mats...

  22. Meds. off floor taste YUMMY!

    Aneroo replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

    As an ER nurse, you know better. Think about the stuff we get on our shoes when we're not wearing shoe covers. Blood, urine, emesis- think about what we bring in from outside. I wouldn't do that to a...

  23. School RN salary

    Aneroo replied to Ashleejoy83's topic in School

    Do you mean as a nurse working in a school, or as a nurse working as a teacher in a school? KWIM?

  24. Meds. off floor taste YUMMY!

    Aneroo replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

    No way. I've had patients offer to take it. I let the floor nurses know to expect a med coming up to them, then call pharmacy and let them resend it! I did this myself in a fast food joint a few weeks...

  25. ER Nurses Treated Different in my Hospital!

    Aneroo replied to Jen2's topic in Emergency

    Which is why, despite the anger burning inside me, we waited. It wouldn't be fair to either patient, or that meanie ofa nurse.
