1. brand spankin new neonatal transport RN!

   love4neos replied to love4neos's topic in NICU

   Oh Thank You! I am very excited but SO fearful! I work at a large hospital in Dallas. We do a lot of neonatal transports to rural areas of texas and even Oklahoma. We do quite a few air transports as some places we go could take 4-5hrs by ambulance. ...

2. brand spankin new neonatal transport RN!

   love4neos posted a topic in NICU

   I am an RN who recently accepted a position on our neonatal transport team. I was wondering if anyone knows of some good resource books that aren't designed for residents. I am in my 4th week of transport class and am ready to start getting checked o...

3. Implants.....

   love4neos replied to rnnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

   I had the job done at age 20, 3 years ago. I could never be any happier. I was very flat chested and hated the way I looked. I would get in arguments with friends before we would go out because I hated my figure so much I was embaressed. I know diffe...

   We have one we call a Gralla Suppository it is great for relaxation when the patient is actively dying it contains: 2mg Ativan, 4mg Decadron, & 25mg Dramimime. They work wonders!

6. DMD Suppositories

   love4neos replied to Today-God'sGift's topic in Hospice

   Does the DMD stand for something and what symptoms are they supposed to treat? I have obviously never heard of them, but I may know them as something with a different name. Maybe if you give a bit more info some one can help!!

7. My grand has prostate ca

   love4neos replied to chae's topic in Oncology

   You may want to check into your local hospice programs. We have a lot of men on with prostate Ca. To be on hospice, doesn't mean you are bedridden and about to die any day. As long as he has a disease that is beyond cure, hospice can sign him on. It ...

8. The Circumcision Discussion

   love4neos replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

   As a neonatal nurse, I have assisted with every type of circumcision possible. It would be a good question to ask the ped, what type of circ he/she uses. There are MANY different types. You can also request a pain agent, many may prescribe a little t...

9. Starving a patient.....

   love4neos replied to jschut's topic in Safety

   I am a hospice nurse, and it sounds like this patient is the perfect candidate for hospice services. Not knowing what kind of shape the patient is in, I don't have much to say. We do have quite a few patients (usually E/S dementia) when fdings that w...

10. I am starting with Hospice!

    love4neos replied to cargal's topic in Hospice

    Wow, you sound tired. I just started with hospice about 5 weeks ago. I absolutely love it, but it is set up much differently than where you work. First, they provide us a beeper and cell phone, we don't see the bill at all. They reimburse us 34.5 cen...

    love4neos replied to skeeter's mom's topic in Career Support

    Hi, I agree with cheerfuldoer. Do what is best for you and your family at this point. I have my BSN, & speaking from what I have seen, there is no difference in pay between the 3 RNs.You must think about the amount of $$$ you will spend to get a ...

12. LPNs in the NICU??

    love4neos replied to luvbug's topic in NICU

    I worked in a large general hospital a year ago, and we did have LPNs that worked in our NICU. It was a level 3 NICU, but they took only the feeder-growers and did almost every discharge because of that. It was bad when our census fell they were alwa...

13. bye, bye safety net

    love4neos replied to kats's topic in General Students

    From what it sounds like, I don't think you are going to have any problems getting in to a school. Schools sometimes say they get 300 or more applicants, but I wouldn't believe that. If there were that many people wanting to go to nursing school, the...

14. I Am Frustrated!!!!

    love4neos replied to princess20's topic in General Students

    Are you sure the waiting list is accurate? A lot of times there is a long list, but that doesn't mean it takes as long as they say. Students choose other schools or things happen in their lives and they don't go. You should keep your hopes up, you ne...

15. Nclex-rn

    love4neos replied to katieRNlove's topic in General Nursing

    Relaxing is the biggest thing. I know it is easy for me to say, because I'm done! But I was able to relax. I kicked my shoes off, shut my eyes, took a cleansing breath, said a short prayer, and told myself "I can do this". The test went great and I'v...
