  1. Kimball Medical Center

    I wish I had been as smart as your sister... I'm trying to get out of there!
  2. Kimball Medical Center

    I did not find this to be true at Kimball. They're not supportive and the benefits are not that good (you can only use their doctors). I'd go elsewhere if possible.
  3. definitely Meridian over St Barnabus... you'll be much happier.
  4. Anyone work at Monmouth Medical Center or JSUMC?

    I worked in the NICU at Jersey Shore - loved it. Left to get off night shift. I've been told that there are very difficult personalities and "cliques" at Monmouth in the NICU. The pedi ER at Jersey Shore is supposed to be good...

  6. Feedings while on Indocin???

    NeoProfen comes with all of the same possible side effects as Indocin. The positive aspects of NeoProfen are that the side effects, while the same, occur less frequently. So, NeoProfen is not a miracle drug, but it is really really nice to use, knowi...
  7. Feedings while on Indocin???

    the thought process is, that yes, even with NeoProfen, but with lower incidence, that the reason why there is an increased incidence of NEC after Indocin/NeoProfen therapy is because the drugs provide a decreased perfusion to the gut. Therefore, the ...
  8. March of Dimes WalkAmerica

    I'm walking in Belmar, NJ with a bunch of nurses and disease management girls at my new Case Management job. My first time - and I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully the weather will be better that day than it has been, because I'm not looking...
  9. New to Case Management - Office Based

    Dria - thanks for your reply! The end of week one - and I keep coming back and I haven't cried yet. So far so good! One of the other new girls says, "look at it like this - at the end of the day you haven't given anyone the wrong med and no one died...
  10. Hi - can anyone give me a low down on how they like office based case management. I'm going to be age group specific, not disease, and I'm office based for an insurance company in catastrophic disease or injury. My experience is all in critical care....

  13. Night Shift might be killing me

    Any night shifters here? I'm only 30 (soon to be 31) and I feel like my body is falling apart. I've been working night shift since college (about 10 years give or take). I've gained weight, can't sleep, my joints ache - i feel like a 90 year old!!! A...
  14. Medication error causes 2 deaths in Indiana NICU

    you actually don't need heparin in any peripheral IV for flushing purposes. There's been plenty of studies on that fact. We actually flush q8 on my unit with NS, and have no problems with PIVs clotting off. And we use only 24g PIVs. And the bottom li...
