  2. Sun exposure during pregnancy

    Aneroo replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think dehydration is the biggest risk. Body temp also isn't supposed to get above 102 (I think- purging from What to Expect When Expecting). Swimming is awesome during pregnancy though.

  3. Where can I get my CNA certification?

    Aneroo replied to abe82's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Contact your local CC. The length of the class depends. The one I took while in high school was about 6 months, but it was only 2 nights a week. There are some that are all day, 5x week, and those are...

  5. Anyone (or someone you know) fail clinical?

    Aneroo replied to SirJohnny's topic in General Students

    I think I only know of one. The instructors were good with watching us, making sure we didn't mess up. ONe girl, got written up several times a semester during clinical. Her clinical skills were poor,...

    Aneroo replied to djCRNA's topic in General Nursing

    That's how it is at our hospital.

  7. Do you wear some type of support for your legs to prevent leg cramps?

    Aneroo replied to JNT'smom's topic in General Nursing

    Not quite sure how they work yet, but Motherhood Maternity has compression trouser socks, so I'm not stuck with white hose all the time. My ankles are huge!

  8. Five week ER orientation

    Aneroo replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    I'll be starting next week as a new grad, with EMS experience, in a Level 1 trauma center, and I'm supposed to get 16 weeks of orientation (preceptorship). 5 weeks sounds like not much. Will you have...

  10. Fire Ants

    Aneroo replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    Thank God, I've only been bitten twice, but I did swell up at the site. I remember not being able to sleep at night b/c it itched so bad! Beware of infection- from the two bites I got, I managed to...

  11. EMT's and how to deal with them

    Aneroo replied to aprilleverett's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I certainly do not doubt your education. We're all smart, just in different areas. Sadly, a lot of us have experience with RN's and LPN's who don't know their residents like they should, don't care to...

  12. EMT's and how to deal with them

    Aneroo replied to aprilleverett's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am an EMT, and before nursing school, I worked for a private EMS service. I treated some RN's and LPN's in LTC like pure crap, but given the crap I had seen in those facilities and from that staff,...

  13. Authorization to Test

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

    It took a week for mine, but all of my paperwork was already sent in, except for the OK from the school, saying I had passed nursing. I think it depends on where you're at too. My BON had a thing...

  14. How do I wear this?

    Aneroo replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    We wore caps at our graduation. In no way do I think they're sexist. I might have a different opinion if we still had to wear them. Going to our pinning ceremony, wearing my white dress, white hose,...

  15. Precepting new nurses...

    Aneroo replied to mommatrauma's topic in Emergency

    I wish I had something to add about the situation, but I am afraid I don't. However, will you be my preceptor? lol

  16. Crocs Nursing shoes

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

    I got mine at a Birkenstock's store. BEfore I found those, I was going to drive to the beach and get some there. I was SO excited to find them. I wore them to an amusement park to break them in, and...

  17. Trauma: Life in the ER.

    Aneroo replied to Jen2's topic in Emergency

    WHOO! We know a famous person! Lol I don't think I would let someone film me or a family member, as much as I love the show. I don't think it would be good, if two years down the road you're watching...

  18. Nurses Who Shouldn't be Nurses

    Aneroo replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who just graduated nursing school, we did talk a lot about money. Most fo us looked at it in terms of "Wow, I can't wait to finally be able to get a paycheck again and eat something besides...

  19. The aide is also the unit secretary! How???

    Aneroo replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    At a LTC facility I worked at, on evening shifts, we answered phones and such. There was ONE secretary thru-out the entire facility. I don't see how this could work on a busy unit, but on a smaller...

  20. Is there a problem in the Neonatal ICU at UNC?

    Aneroo replied to SleeplessInNJ's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I do not live there, but please don't assume it is because it's a bad hospital. I will be working at a big hospital in Eastern NC, and they've recently opened a newer NICU. They had about 40-some open...

  21. Taking Bp's - Help!!

    Aneroo replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    We don't! lol In the back of an ambulance, it's not uncommon for a BP to be called in as 120/palp, meaning we took the BP, felt for a pulse instead of listening for noises, and we only can record...

  22. Question about "fill in the blank" Q's

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

    Before you start your NCLEX, there is a practice session, which includes all types of the new format questions. I had a fill in the blank math question. It tells you what to round it to, and in the...

  23. I Passed! I'm a Nurse!!!

    Aneroo posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got my letter today. I screamed, then I cried. (the fact I'm totally hormonal doesn't help that). In HUGE BOLD letters, it says that I HAVE PASSED the NCLEX. Now I am waiting for the state to finish...

  24. I Passed! I'm a Nurse!!!
