  3. No longer motivated

    Aneroo replied to MotivatedOne's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    ECU also a ABSN. I precepted a guy who did that- you might have better luck there since you're alumni of the school already. I left ECU in 2003 with GPA less than 2.5 (hey, we partied hard at ECU back...

    Aneroo posted a topic in Travel

    Is it possible? DH and I would both like to travel, but we have a three year old. Is it do-able? If we both traveled, would the agency just pay for one

  13. How do you think operating rooms would be affected by a flu pandemic?

    Aneroo replied to linda2097's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Here is a document I found from the AORN. In particular, page 8, there is a small blip that says "If there is a more intense outbreak, nursing staff members may need to be relocated to other areas"....

  14. Don't want go get to ahead of myself, but

    Aneroo replied to CaliLvr000's topic in Operating Room

    No matter what area you specialize in, join the groups as a student. Most of the time, you'll get discounts the first year or two after graduation on your professional

  15. How do you think operating rooms would be affected by a flu pandemic?

    Aneroo replied to linda2097's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In a true pandemic, I think the OP is correct. I would expect elective cases to be taken and every possible bed space be taken by patients (even if that means holding and PACU). In total crisis, you...

  17. Fear or Fact

    Aneroo replied to HippyGreenPeaceChick's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It depends. I was talking to a coworker about this earlier, about what info we're sending to the staff at our schools. One is only sending stuff one it's approved. I've been sending info from the CDC...

  18. Danskos and Bad ankles

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

    I've only rolled my ankle once in my Dansko's, and I've been wearing them about three years. I was running around my car (running late to get to another school), wet pavement on a hill, and down I...

  19. Scabies

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    Yep- she caught it from her brother, who wrestles. Hopefully no prolonged skin to skin contact, but I did mention to her to wash all sheets and towels in hot water and bleach. I'll take scabies over...

  22. Social sorority and nursing school.

    Aneroo replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't read all of the posts. I'd got with a service sorority. I was in one (Gamma Sigma Sigma). Our priority was service. A majority of our sisters were nursing or education majors, so you'd have...

  23. Bariatric Patients

    Aneroo replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    I worked in a hospital that did a lot of bariatric surgeries and will soon be opening a bariatric surgery unit by itself. Even we didn't have a lot of advanced equipment for obese patients. Depending...

  24. Any school nurses doing things differently?

    Aneroo replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not worried. I sent out an email with the link to the CDC's website called "Swine Flu and You". It's a great Q&A section. I reminded them it is treated with medicine that is readily available...
