  1. ER Nurses Treated Different in my Hospital!

    Aneroo replied to Jen2's topic in Emergency

    I was just pondering this a bit ago. I've been fussed out by some nurses in the ER (my co-workers!) because I am "nice" and don't want to take a patient upstairs at 1905. I realize they are in shift...

  2. IV help: specific questions about insertion site and advancing

    Aneroo replied to vampireslayer's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Great points. You have days where you get the IV's, then the next day you're missing all of them. You were doing something right if you were getting them for a while! maybe your folks have crappy...

  3. O2 therapy - need Dr's order?

    Aneroo replied to moshimoshi's topic in General Nursing

    Use an ambu bag and manually breathe for them. I agree with the two liters via NC while calling MD. Does he have an IS?

  4. Restrictions on Accutane

    Aneroo posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050812/ap_on_he_me/accutane_safety I wonder how they plan on enforcing the two methods of birth control thing. Maybe every three months when a female comes to get her...

  5. This was a first: a nursing student approached me about my patient

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

    I think my fave so far has been when co-workers ask me "Where did you work before?". I tell them I am a new-grad, and they're like "No way! I had no idea". lol I LOVE

  6. getting pregnant and finding a job

    Aneroo replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I got pregnant the day of finals for nursing school (the last one)! One- it's a whole lot harder to get preggo in nursing school. Your stress level is very high, although it does happen. 2- You're...

  7. Is anyone near or in the path of Katrina?

    Aneroo replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Watching CNN (instead of sleeping). They are interviewing folks from the hospital at Tulane, and they said they've moved the ER from the first floor to the third floor due to the fear of flooding....

  8. Urban Myth or Truth?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've had several folks tell me that nurses usually deliver earlier. Any truth to this? I am HOPING to work up until it's almost time to deliver (since I can't get FMLA yet).

  9. Urban Myth or Truth?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As much as I would love to, I'm probably only going to manage about 4 weeks off after baby is born, and that's if she's on time! Lord help me if she decides to show up early. I won't be getting FMLA...

  10. Placing Emergency Department Crowding on the Decision Agenda

    Aneroo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Emergency

    We often have hall beds. Our hospital serves 20 counties. We cannot prevent it if we have several r/o MI's, a GSW, MVC's or whatever rolling in at the same time. Not like we can turn them away because...

  11. HIPPA -- Use patient's first name or last name?

    Aneroo replied to Aunt Minnie's topic in General Nursing

    At our ER, we do neither. We have beepers (like you get at Outback). Makes life easier for the staff out front registering the pt as well. You walk in, get a pager. Get paged to go to triage. Get...

  12. Documentation standards

    Aneroo replied to PedsERRN's topic in Emergency

    We have computer charting, so it is a little bit quicker for us. Trauma's are still paper charted. I record VS on monitored patients at least every hour, more often if they're more acutely ill or...

  13. Areas for a new RN??

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

    A good orientation is what you and your preceptor make it. I went straight on down to the ED. I've always wanted to be there, had EMS experience, and they needed help. My preceptor is awesome. We...

  14. Been on the job four months and got pregnant

    Aneroo replied to er426's topic in First Year After Licensure

    COngrats! I found out I was pregnant a few days before I took boards- talk about stress! My doc was very proactive in keeping the nausea at bay. She went ahead and prescribed Zofran. Very expensive,...

  15. Blood transfusions in ER

    Aneroo replied to amy's topic in General Nursing

    To my knowledge, we do not have something in place tracking how often you hang blood. I am still on orientation, so haven't had to do any of the yearly stuff yet. We hang bloood/products a lot down...

  16. "Accurate" Charting of Profanity

    Aneroo replied to RNCENCCRNNREMTP's topic in Emergency

    Farting heads off? :chuckle Sorry, couldn't help it. I'm in a 4th grade mode.

  17. Pregnant Nurses - Any changes in duties?

    Aneroo replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I have had a patient sit there and say "Should you be pushing this thing (stretcher) while you're pregnant?" Even the patients are

  18. Pregnant Nurses - Any changes in duties?

    Aneroo replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    So far I haven't had any problems. That was one of the first questions I've asked my doc, was "What are my limitations at work". I was very worried about it, since I was a new employee. MY doc's...

  19. Experience in the ER

    Aneroo replied to Maren26's topic in General Nursing

    I started out at the age of 13 volunteering in an ER in a smaller hospital, and saw many a horrific thing. I think that is what has helped kind of harden my stomach to things. The emotional part,...

  20. No More Demerol IV Push???

    Aneroo replied to VickyRN's topic in Emergency

    We were just talking about this today Vicki! We don't use Demerol at all in the ED (I've never seen it given, been down there almost two months). We go with toradol, morphine or dilaudid. Today they...

  21. How do they post DNR in the patients rooms at your LTC

    Aneroo replied to dinkymouse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A facility I used to work at had different colored stickers on the door. Some meant DNR, fall precautions, etc.

  22. IV Phenergan and Toradol "Push"

    Aneroo replied to CrohnieToo's topic in Emergency

    Agreed. I dilute mine. My preceptor was good about telling me "this drug burns, dilute it!".

  23. Going back to school?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm stuck in a rut. I graduated in May with my ADN, and my main goal is to return, get my BSN so I can teach. There is an online statistics class this fall, and fiance is planning on taking it. We're...

  24. Wedding rings that sit "high" up vs. gloves

    Aneroo replied to fyrelight74's topic in General Nursing

    I wear my ring to work. We use the thick non-latex gloves. One of the first things I did was make sure that my ring would not tear my gloves (I pulled that sucker tight). My wedding band also has...

  25. You can't go upside down when you menstruate?

    Aneroo replied to jen42's topic in General Nursing

    No, but the uterus is connected to the fallopian tubes, tubes are connected to the.... to the....? There is a space between your fallopian tubes and the ovaries. Some theories say that tampons and I'm...
