  1. V-tach/PVC question

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok- figured I'd get more folks to answer here. :) I'm a new grad, tonight was my second night off of orientation. I know there is always someone there if I need them though. I loved cardiac, knew my...

  2. Hespan

    Aneroo posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Posting on behalf of my husband who works in the small little ICU/CCU at our local hospital: How often do you use Hespan with patients who are in septic shock? He's noted that more boluses of NS and...

  3. I think my PPD is positive

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got my ppd today- last one was in May, before I started working in the ED. Now, right where my test was given, it's red about one half inch all the way around where it was injected and slightly...

  4. cath lab job

    Aneroo replied to NYRN05's topic in Cardiac

    It is a great team. Call depends on the staffing at your hospital. If they do non-interventional caths only, you wouldn't do call. Since you guys so cardiac surgery at your hospital, I am assuming...

  5. Any cath lab RNs required to take the RCIS?

    Aneroo replied to inthelab's topic in Cardiac

    Nurses are encouraged to get a certification, but it doesn't have to be RCIS. RT's are encouraged to obtain their

    Aneroo posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Anyone doing ECU's online courses? I see lots of people posting for other schools!

  7. Reglan for migraines

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone else familiar with this practice? I've seen it used several times for migraines while I'm at work. DH woke up this morning with a cluster headache. From what I had read in the past, I remember...

  8. Just for fun - Your favorite vacation spot in NC!

    Aneroo replied to VickyRN's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Biltmore Estate in Asheville. When we lived in the western part of the state we had a yearly pass out there. It was an hour away, and I loved to take day trips down there. My daughter loved the...

  9. Shoes?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Operating Room

    I didn't put this in the shoe forum since I wanted OR nurse input, not random people. What type of shoes do you wear? What works best for the long shifts on the feet? I expect to start with scrub...

  10. Pink Eye

    Aneroo posted a topic in School

    When do you send them home for pink eye? I'm fighting it out with a Dad this morning about coming to get his daughter (who graduates in four weeks, but whatever). Sudden onset of redness, tearing,...

  11. What could have caused this?

    Aneroo posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm beating myself up over this, and I don't even know if I should be. I did a foley on a male patient today, after anesthesia induction, prior to surgery start. The cath went in without any problems,...

  12. What could have caused this?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    There is always time for lube! (Name that

  13. Can anyone help me find a job? :[

    Aneroo replied to SuBinCRNAtoBe's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    What about the place you did your clinicals

  14. Still penny pinching

    Aneroo replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add- We started doing a modified Total Money Makeover system (Dave Ramsey). DH and I each get our own stash of money each payday. If I want to buy coffee everyday, it comes from my stash...

  15. What could have caused this?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for asking me to ignore this (so I'd know you weren't speaking directly of me). I feel a little bit better since I have remember his horrible platelet count that we didn't know about (insert...

  16. Still penny pinching

    Aneroo replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    I understand! 1- Write down everything you're spending. You'll be amazed at the small areas you're spending money that add up. 2- Figure out ways to cut back. Do you really need 247 cable channels...

  17. What could have caused this?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to add- the foley was inserted all the way to the hub before inflating the balloon, and I was able to pull back some after blowing up the balloon (it wouldn't pull back if blown up in the...

  18. What could have caused this?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    It was cardiac surgery- the physicians were aware, but it was not the priority at the time. I am not sure what was done post-op once the patient went to the

  19. I am allergic to...

    Aneroo replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! My fave has to be the allergy to oxygen. Um- I don't think so. Reaction? It dried out their

  20. So we have a Code coming in....

    Aneroo replied to kellyp374's topic in General Nursing

    I call it the thumper. However, they are an awesome machine, and in a smaller hospital where there isn't as much staff (or readily available students/residents), they can really help free up some...

  21. Chloraprep

    Aneroo replied to theamberdawns's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Chloraprep contains alcohol, therefore it should be dry before using cautery, to decrease the risk of fire. I agree with bolded. If they're using betadine paint and scrub, where they are much...

  22. What do you wear?

    Aneroo posted a topic in Operating Room

    When you're at work, and NOT in the OR, what do you wear? Say you're going to the cafeteria to go grab a bite to eat, or the tube station is down and you need to run some records to another unit. Are...

  24. How late do your surgeons do electives?

    Aneroo replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    Do you work at the same hospital as me? LOL Same here. We'll do cases so long as we have

  25. Shoes?

    Aneroo replied to Aneroo's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks you all! I have been wearing Alegria shoes. I like them so far! I'd like to find some crocs, but all the stores carry around here are the beach type crocs with holes, and I don't trust sizing...
