  1. your first....

    Annony RN replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Watch out for those ferrets! When I worked for a vet I remeber a nurse-ferret owner bringing her furbaby in for surgery to have Litmann stethoscope eartips removed from his belly... twice! Back on...

  2. What to wear for Home visits

    Annony RN replied to NewEnglandRN's topic in Home Health

    I wore Khakis or other nice casual pants (preferably with a little spandex woven in... for flex not tightness!) or I wore navy, black, brown, or khaki colored "nice" scrub pants. Something that...

  3. What are your roles in the OR?

    Annony RN replied to Satori77's topic in Operating Room

    Do you have patient interaction before and after the surgery? Like put in IV lines before? We meet, interview and do a focused assessment of the pt. Answer questions and reassure. Sometimes I put in...

  4. Pediatrid Nursing competency Questions

    Annony RN replied to C_K_GrodeckLPN's topic in Pediatric

    I'm a little thrown by 1 also. I'd definitely suction her nose. Agree with Jan about the PaO2 although every now and then run into nurses who think that's interchangeable with "pulse ox" or SpO2....

  5. Peds CNA...advice?

    Annony RN replied to ShyGecko's topic in Pediatric

    go for the peds scope. ADC makes a great one. There are some cheaper ones, too. Or you can use the peds accessories to a sprague but they're heavy. Did you learn much about peds in class? My CNA...

  6. Worst Surgeries to deal with?

    Annony RN replied to sp1nter's topic in Operating Room

    Oh Marie! Fortunately for us we don't do those surgeries where I work in the OR but I do get those kids in the peds hospital I work in. In our OR the worst are the ruptured AAAs. They're a LOT of...

  7. Or Nursing

    Annony RN replied to 987!'s topic in General Nursing

    LOL I can just see Noak tossing those old camera/illuminator/insufflator settups off the ark. I guess that explains why we seemed to have 2, and only 2, of each type of crappy system that was not...

  8. Or Nursing

    Annony RN replied to 987!'s topic in General Nursing

    Compared to some of the suctioning we do in the OR, a trip down the trach is pleasant. Sometimes we do have to clean poop. We have a lot of incontinent elderly patients in the OR. Where do you think...

  9. tylenol dosage question for 10. month old

    Annony RN replied to iwanna's topic in Pediatric

    I agree ith Jan- 15 mg/kg is what we give. However- infants tylenol is 100 mg in 1 mL (I think the label reads 80/0.8mL) childrens is 32 mg/mL (160mg in 1

  10. Interrupted Count

    Annony RN replied to Scrubby's topic in Operating Room

    Ideally you count just before closing a cavity, so you know you need to find something tha's missing before the stures are all

  11. Lehigh Valley per diem work

    Annony RN replied to mummer43's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    St Luke's and Sacred Heart both have per diem programs. Sacred Heart is called TPT and pays better than Lehigh's perdiem. I know Warren has perdiems (and pays well, too), not sure about Easton but...

  12. safety for children in a car

    Annony RN replied to GingerSue's topic in Pediatric

    I'm a peds nurse and CPST so I can't resist adding a few things. Height and Weight are good indicators for older kids but age is important in younger kids as the spinalcolumn matures. Yes, some laws...

  13. What do you honestly think you would have done?

    Annony RN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to post this to another thread a day or two ago, had trouble creating a new user name and now cannot find that post but, since you asked- I gave it a lot of thought during the whole debate...
