  1. Dating Coworkers??

    Aneroo replied to SweetLemon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    DH and I met in nursing school. We've always worked different units. We know we wouldn't work well together at work, and we have different nursing

  2. Pitt Country Hospital in Greenville, NC (Vidant Medical Center) unit reviews

    Aneroo replied to vld0315's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    PCMH is already Magnet status. They'd wither away or go broke from paying traveler's if they required everyone to have a

  3. A Patient Made Me Cry Today

    Aneroo replied to flightnurse2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ok, you've made me cry, and it takes a lot to do that. I probably would have cried during his assessment. Make God let him god in peace and may the person (people) who let that poor man get to that...

  4. just a comment

    Aneroo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    There are jobs available. It might not be a speciality area or your desired shift, but it's there (so long as you'll work nights on med/surg).

  5. Racist Patients

    Aneroo replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For sure. I've quit a job over the racial jokes (was too young and naive to realize I needed to report it)- and I'm white. I don't recall what was said, but it was enough to make me uncomfortable...

  6. Racist Patients

    Aneroo replied to Williss2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This reminds me of a patient we had while in LTC. White females were allowed to care for her. We had one AA male who would temp as a nurse and we'd have to go in with him for meds. She had been raped...

  7. Your favorite nursing gadget?

    Aneroo replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    My husband loves those as well. He only needed to use the red and black inks though. We removed the blue and green and replaced those with

  8. interview next week for school nurse position! Advice?

    Aneroo replied to LanaBanana's topic in School

    The psych background will help- at least here we have a lot of kids with developmental and behavioral problems (mostly behavioral). My fallback answer was to check

  9. Someone talk me down...

    Aneroo replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    YW! The newspaper is very handy for ankles. Shape it like a U with the sides of the U going up around the malleolus (spelling?) and then wrap it up. Great

  10. Someone talk me down...

    Aneroo replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    You did exactly what you were supposed to, and I would hope your admin. would understand that and back you. As for splints- a rolled up newspaper is a good splint material. It's thick enough to not...

  11. Two more weeks....

    Aneroo replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Take 264 West. There are a few road options. You can get off at the Mozingo Rd. exit to Bell Arthur. It's a small community, but it's nice. The next exit is pretty much a connector road. Take a right...

  12. Stupid Nurse Trick... Don't try this at home... or work!

    Aneroo replied to TXRN02's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a coworker do that. She ended up in the ER with a pale thumb b/c of the vasoconstriction! It happens to all of us- I'm 5'7"! I've ripped many pockets. Ive ever ripped some off of pants (thanks...

  13. Do you always state that you are a nurse?

    Aneroo replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed.

  14. Weaker nurses at night?

    Aneroo replied to LeeniesMomRN's topic in General Nursing

    I see both sides. Most of the night shift nurses I've met were awesome. They are able to do an awesome job without all of the resource that day shift usually has. However, there have been a few nurses...

  15. Your favorite nursing gadget?

    Aneroo replied to AOx1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I have some blue plastic ones (for PD tubing) and several metal sets (out of suture removal kits that weren't

  16. After only 6 weeks orientation............................

    Aneroo replied to CTMMaine's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be ok with being a new grad preceptor, but a resource would be ok (although it should still be one with more experience, no offense). I was asked to help orient travelers to our unit. That...

  17. Calling in....

    Aneroo replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    We were told at one job (up front) that we would be asked a generalized question about what was wrong. It didn't need to be specific, and we were able to say "personal" if needed. The reason for this...

  18. Morale in my workplace is just deteriorating

    Aneroo replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that was such a bad experience. As bad as it was for you, I feel even worse for the novice- I wonder if they have a retention

  19. So upset got passed for charge

    Aneroo replied to Emilysmom2, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ask. When I worked in the ER, a girl who started the same time as I did was oriented to triage before me. I wanted to know why. I didn't want to raise a big deal about it, but if there was something...

  20. Waitlisted

    Aneroo replied to palo143's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Can you accept CPCC's offer and then rescend it later if you do get accepted at Queens? I wouldn't give up with Queens. Totally different area, but my husband and I recently went through something...

  21. No More Fingersticks for Techs!!

    Aneroo replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I don't trust them enough to bring it back. One cooked his strips during August heat during football practice, another just didn't bring it in at all and his glucose was almost 600 by the time he...

  22. Would you get treated at the hospital where you work?

    Aneroo replied to Goingthere's topic in General Nursing

    I delivered my child at a hospital I worked in (worked in the ER at the time). It was nice to have coworkers visit during their lunch breaks. The most recent hospital I worked in, I was seen there a...

  23. What Inspired Your Choice of Nursing Specialty?

    Aneroo replied to SunRose7's topic in General Nursing

    I decided I wanted to be an ER nurse after being a volunteer in the ER at the age of 13 (having a Dad who worked administration at the hospital helped). After graduation I worked in a level one...

  24. Nurse Salary vs. Teacher Salary?

    Aneroo replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I don't think we have a teachers union here. I'm a school nurse, and my ideas of what teachers do was grossly underestimated. I'm shocked to read on the sign in sheet where many have signed...

  25. No More Fingersticks for Techs!!

    Aneroo replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add- This is all part of the delegation process. Making sure that the person you are delegating to is properly trained in doing a procedure, whether it's removing a foley, taking a blood...
