  1. Thermoregulation

    You say your hospital has plenty of developmentally appropriate positioning tools, but you still just swaddle them? I'm lost!
  2. Resetting IV pump volumes: Dangerous or common safety practice?

    At my main job we verify rate, volume infused, and access site condition every hour. Now making sure everybody is actually looking at their pump and not just typing stuff in is a task on its own... We also use buretrols which should prevent fluid ove...
  3. Weaning parents off monitors in preparation for discharge

    It's definitely a hard task to keep them from staring at the monitor and not reading their baby's cues! We'll turn a monitor so the parents can't see it for a baby who's been bradying w/ feeds to see if they are able to pick it up by just watching fo...
  4. NICU Nurse moving to DC area

    Are there that many places that have 4 baby assignments? I've only known of one hospital in my area, and that's just in their transitional nursery.
  5. NICU visitation policies needed

    nicu level - IV private patient rooms - only 2 iso rooms, unit separated into bays number at bedside - we literally have no limit...crazy who can visit - 4 people selected by parents without them there, anybody else outside of that with parents (rest...
  6. Shift Report: Listening, no writing...

    I'm a fan of writing things down, myself, but I don't hold it against anybody who chooses not to. But it's when you not only do not write things down, but also don't then thoroughly check the orders that bothers me. What do you mean you didn't know w...
  7. Specialty Poll for male nurses

    Left NICU off the list!
  8. OB/GYN Male Nurses

    I don't think much has changed. I had the same experience in nursing school just a few years ago, and the dad was even studying to be a nurse himself!! Cultural stuff will always show up, which is what this case was! There are also just regular dads ...
  9. I know this is a dead thread, but @Inori is dead wrong. 1-page resumes are no longer the norm. If you have experience in anything (i.e. if you were a second-degree student w/ a work history showcasing various skill sets) then of course include them! ...
  10. RESUME REVIEW - Please help

    I'm wondering if you need to include all that jazz about your student nurse experiences... My thoughts are that they know where you went to school, and accredited programs will all expose you to the different specialties of nursing. You're fine to in...
  11. Provided with a phone for shift?

    I'm in school now and everybody has access to a phone in our hospital. Looks like an iphone - very well may be - with an app on it for communication with all providers, nurses, PT/OT/RT, etc. If you have your own smart phone you just get the all your...
  12. Johns Hopkins Accelerated Summer Entry for BSN/MSN 2014

    I'm also in for Fall :) Congrats everyone!
  13. Johns Hopkins Accelerated Summer Entry for BSN/MSN 2014

    I just got an email for the Accepted Students Day, but still haven't gotten a phone call about being accepted... Think it's a mistake or just a chance out of order procedure?? I just had my phone interview last week on Tuesday..
  14. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2014

    Hey there, seems like your program had different dates. You applied for the pediatric CNS full time program with a fall 2014 start date. This thread is the BSN/MSN cohort starting summer 2014
  15. UPenn Direct Entry BSN/MSN 2014

    Hey there, you sure you applied for this cohort? I think most of us have already had our interviews and heard back... School starts in June!
