  1. ridiculous test questions

    Aneroo replied to elizabells's topic in General Students

    Depending on what the surgery was, I'd say A. Same idea as sitting a pt up to have a BM- just the position the body is used to in voiding, and peeing while laying seems unnatural to folks. We often...

  2. IV starts and drawing blood

    Aneroo replied to srknurse's topic in Emergency

    I use a 20 most of the time. I mean, our butterflies are 21 and 23

  3. Peds IV Tips

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, first of all, please don't move this. I know it goes it peds nursing or PICU- I've already put it there, and no one has answered, so I'm going to the whole boards... I just started in the ER. I've...

  4. IV starts and drawing blood

    Aneroo replied to srknurse's topic in Emergency

    We draw blood (whether it's ordered yet or not- full rainbow) whenever we start an IV. If they only need blood drawn, we try to saline lock them to keep from sticking more than once. We have a...

  5. Nosocomial infections

    Aneroo replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I've always used Dispatch to clean my supplies if I have to take it in somewhere I don't want to. Of course, I try not to!

  6. NCLEX Results???

    Aneroo replied to NxKellz's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I took mine on a Friday, and found out on a Wed. I think they run the tests on Tues and Fri, so they might not have ran it until yesterday. Good luck. And yes, I got a letter saying I had passed, and...

  7. C-Diff Question

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey! Although the micro class at the school I graduated from is an excellent one that actually covers diseases and meds, the class I took was horrible (took it at another school, then transferred)....

  8. C-Diff Question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting discussion a while back about shaving cream and how it works to clean that well:

  9. Peds IV Tips

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all. I was with my preceptor, who had to stick a 5yo, but she did it. I wanted to watch the first peds stick, not perform it. I remember she told him that after we put a needle in his arm,...

  10. License plate ideas

    Aneroo replied to virginiarn's topic in General Nursing

    I recently saw a plate that said RN with PMS. Way to give RN's a great name! God help her patients! North Carolina has a cool nursing plate. https://edmv.dot.state.nc.us/sp/SpecialPlatesPortal.html...

  11. a rant (pts come to hospital for the littlest of things)

    Aneroo replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    IN regards to pregnant women- I am one, I frequent a board like this one, but for preggo's. So many women on there go to the ED for problems, or to L&D. There is the one or two who are on welfare...

  12. C-Diff Question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    bump

  13. What squicks you out?

    Aneroo replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    LOL - The adds crack me up on some of these topics! I think I want to start making random ones just to see what adds I can get. :)

  14. Patient Transfers.

    Aneroo replied to sparkplug's topic in General Nursing

    I bet if folks on the floor answered the phone and take report when we called to give report, so we can get that pt out of the ER, they'd come up clean and with patent IV's. The ER is beyond hectic...

  15. What squicks you out?

    Aneroo replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to add- The smell of menses. Women- wash yourself frequently!!! Ugh!

  16. What squicks you out?

    Aneroo replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    For smells, it has to be about anything right now. Pregnancy makes your sense of smell so much more increased. Fiance calls it my spidey sense! One of the janitors cleans the staff bathroom, and I...

  17. C-Diff Question

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. She had a hx of GI bleeds and ulcers too. I may have to kidnap fiance's micro book! :)

  18. Tell me about the NICU's? I have to get out of here!

    Aneroo replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The hospital here in Greenville recently opened a newer, larger, NICU. I think they have almost doubled their capacity. I did an internship in the old NICU thru my nursing program, and it seemed like...

  19. I got it!

    Aneroo replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency

    Congrats. I am new grad who just started on a 3-3 shift also. I love the shift- it really flies by b/c it is so busy! Good luck

  20. help dealing with flirtatious pts

    Aneroo replied to student4ever's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. I had a problem with this when we were in psych- creepy pervs who hit on all of the girls, whether they realized it was appropriate or not. I agree with setting boundaries, and...

  21. ER or ICU for Externship?

    Aneroo replied to Wheaties's topic in General Students

    I would also suggest the ER. You'll get more skills (the folks in ICU already are tubed, have foleys and IV's in place). You also get to work on assessment skills across all age ranges with all types...

  22. Silly back injury! UHGGGG

    Aneroo replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Working for a medical transport company as an EMT, was helping to move a client from the stretcher to the dialysis chair, and twisted my back funky. I went to a football game that afternoon to work...

  23. North Carolina NCLEX taker!

    Aneroo replied to zander's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine in Winston-Salem on a Friday. The next Wed, I got a letter from BON telling me I had passed my NCLEX, but my CBC was still being processed. About two weeks after that, I finally was able...

  24. Too Many Crabby Nurses!!

    Aneroo replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry how things are going. As far as the newer grads being rude- I am thinking they're probably beyond stressed. I've heard the amount of info I'll be getting in the next 14 weeks in more than I...

  25. Feeling unimportant in my new job.

    Aneroo replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you feel out of place. At your previous employeer, was it the fact you felt like you had accomplished something after 45 minutes, or was it the 45 minutes you spent interacting with your client...
