   My apologies...I had a response typed and sent it before reading it. When I reread it it sounded very rude of me. I apologize to whoever read it. Sorry....I'm going to remain quiet about this topic right now.

2. Mandatory flu shots????

   NBmomto2 replied to 45whenimdone's topic in COVID

3. Mandatory flu shots????

   NBmomto2 replied to 45whenimdone's topic in COVID

   Still not convinced. But that's ok. It's my own personal choice. I am responsible for my personal health choices as you are for your own. And if anyone asks me what I think of the flu shot, I always them to research it for themselves, because I canno...

4. Mandatory flu shots????

   NBmomto2 replied to 45whenimdone's topic in COVID

   You see...that's where I need to clarify my point. My refusal to take the flu shot is not because of it's potential side effects, nor is it because I think it will cause autism or GBS. My reasoning is solely due to the fact that after reading up on i...

   NBmomto2 replied to LOVEnicuRN's topic in NICU

   Just a quick post as I head out, but check into what they call, 'the Golden Hour' for premies. This relates to protecting from bleeds as well as regulation of temp, lungs, etc, during those first hours of life. Will post more later.

   The link is not working right now, but I am assuming you are referring to the Family Integrated Care study. We are using it currently in the Unit I work. We find it to be quite helpful for the parents and have gotten much positive feedback with it. N...

   NBmomto2 replied to Lovenicubabies's topic in NICU

9. Infant Driven Feeding

   NBmomto2 posted a topic in NICU

   Good morning. I have a question about the practice of Infant driven feeding in the NICU. I recently watch the Webinar from Dandle Lion, called 'infant Driven Feeding: A Neurodevelopmental approach to feeding infants in the N ICU." I was very intrigue...

10. Use of blankets from home in the NICU

    NBmomto2 replied to lmasta03's topic in NICU

    We do not allow any stuffies from home, unless placed in a bag at the bedside. Any blankets or clothing from home has to be washed in the unit before allowing it to be with the babies. This is because of our infection control policies.

    Hi there...I'm wondering what kind of feeding systems you use in the particular NICU where you work? What's the brand of the system and what do you like dislike about it? I'm wondering because two months ago our nurse manager decided to change our f...

    I actually work as a pediatric nurse in Canada, and I saw first hand this week how a DR. admitted a pediatric pt. (with flu like symptoms) with a diagnosis of H1N1, before any swabbing was done. I did the swabbing once he was admitted to the unit. We...
