  1. G-tube medication question

    Aneroo replied to dcoffee's topic in General Students

    I used to drink Diet Coke, but couldn't handle the taste. However, diet cherry coke is awesome! My fiance says that diet cheerwine is good (cherry flavored soda), and we both like diet. dr. pepper. I...

  2. G-tube medication question

    Aneroo replied to dcoffee's topic in General Students

    Working at a restaurant where one of our sinks gets clogged easily d/t the sanitizer that we use, my boss refuses to buy drano. She puts Pepsi in it (we're in eastern NC, people here live off of that...

  3. Skirts, anyone???

    Aneroo replied to kellyo's topic in General Nursing

    I myself don't wear a dress (pantyhose and really uncomfy d/t my big ol thighs). But, there are a few girls who I go to school with who do wear them, and they look very professional. Working in the...

  4. G-tube medication question

    Aneroo replied to dcoffee's topic in General Students

    In nursing school world, you are supposed to crush the seperately, because some meds don't mix well. I would crush mine, then mix with water, then pour that in, then flush with water. Don't forget...

  5. Bipolar and nursing?

    Aneroo replied to Sputnik's topic in General Nursing

    Correct- so long as you've had ONE manic (or hypomania) episode, you get the dx of bipolar.

  6. SANE's in ER's?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Emergency

    Thank you both.

  7. Bipolar and nursing?

    Aneroo replied to Sputnik's topic in General Nursing

    I would check on the Ohio boards. I do not see why someone could not get boards b/c they are bipolar, esp if they are compliant with their medications. I had a client who is a nurse and has...

  8. SANE's in ER's?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Emergency

    Ok, let's try this. Do you have SANE's in your ER? For goodness sake, someone please post an answer!

  9. Venting...Hosp pts coming from skilled nursing facilities

    Aneroo replied to stidget99's topic in General Nursing

    Please remember that despite the fear this patient may have in her eyes, you are helping her! Hopefully she realizes she is in a different place and you and your co-workers actually CARE about her...

  10. Venting...Hosp pts coming from skilled nursing facilities

    Aneroo replied to stidget99's topic in General Nursing

    Stidget- First of all, good for you for caring enough to be a patient advocate. This made me want to cry. This is the reason I quit working as a CNA in LTC. The facility I started working at as a...

  11. My Preceptorship Experience (NICU)

    Aneroo replied to RainDreamer's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you've had an awesome experience and an awesome preceptor! You lucky dog! When I did a rotation thru NICU, we were not allowed to do anything invasive, but I am totally with you on the...

  12. NCBON Education & Practice Committee Meeting on April 14th

    Aneroo replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    This is so troubling to me. Is there anyway to find out if items from the draft 2 were changed? I did not see anything about the ADN vs BSN status that there was in the draft 2 changes. I will...

  13. Is This Standard Now With Pap Smears

    Aneroo replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent point

  14. Would you treat someone with Marburg Virus?

    Aneroo replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I am a big believer in the whole "take care of yourself first" motto. Ever ridden in an airplane? When the O2 bag pops out of the ceiling, put yours on first, then help others around you....

  15. Rn to EMT-P

    Aneroo replied to emergencyrmnurse's topic in Emergency

    As an EMT-B who is about to finish with nursing school, I cannot resist the urge to post on this. I'm in North Carolina, who no longer has a bridge course. As much as I want my paramedic, I am all for...

  16. Would you treat someone with Marburg Virus?

    Aneroo replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I had a microbiology professor recommend this book to us one time, and I actually read it. Scared the heck out of me. It's very scary. :stone As for the original question, I do not know. As an ER...

  17. Draft changes objections due TOMORROW!

    Aneroo posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The instuctors at my CC told us today (although I knew thanks to you guys!), that our objections to the proposed changes to the education rules with the BON are due tomorrow! So, please, please,...

  18. Do 'goodlooking' nurses earn better salaries?

    Aneroo replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly Marie- I'd be screwed if that were the case. I think this study is more true for business stuff. Healthcare, you can't care too much about one's appearance (although some things do matter)....

  19. new graduate: ER OR MED-SURG?

    Aneroo replied to janetrette's topic in Emergency

    I'll be a new grad in May also, and I am starting out in a level-1 trauma center. I was told that I wouldn't be put in triage or in the trauma room for at least a year. They're not going to throw...

  20. New grads with no experience

    Aneroo replied to nursekrin's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto- Apply anyways. New grads have to start somewhere. And yes, you do have experience....clinical wasn't for nothing!

  21. anyone taken the ERI RN-CAT mock-NCLEX?

    Aneroo replied to amyrae76's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took my CAT today. I didn't realize it cut off at 90. Mine cut off at 90. I thought I went over (thought it starting cutting off at 75). I passed with an 81. Need to work on math. Went blank on the...

  22. Is This Standard Now With Pap Smears

    Aneroo replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly...HPV is much more common than you think. Different than HSV (herpes simplex), which is still too common.

  23. Is This Standard Now With Pap Smears

    Aneroo replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't even know the office screened for HPV until I had an abnormal pap smear at the age of 19...that scared the hell out of me! I've always had the MD at the doctor's office do a pelvic and a...

  24. Any nursing tatoo's?

    Aneroo replied to MacERRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have a shamrock on my left foot. Want another. Want angel wings on shoulder blades...thinking of others.

  25. Nurse donating kidney to dialysis patient

    Aneroo replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

    How is that different than one deciding to get on a bone marrow transplant list? I feel that some people just have this feeling (a call, if you would like to call it that), that this is something they...
