Whatever happened to staffing by acuity? There are 'tools' out there to better document how many nursing hours per day your clients need; this provides hard data for the suits to justify hiring more...

@babyRN--that would work for me.

Like Bortaz, NICUGal, babyRN, etc. We are in need of a current "Day in the Life" thread. The stickies are so old, they don't work because they rewrote the code (or something techy like that). ...

Anybody willing to write a more current one?

@Bortaz--it doesn't light up, sorry! ;)

We had an anesthesia doc who had done a NICU fellowship--he was worth his weight in gold! Sometimes he would put an epidural in them--that really helped.

Gut surgery, esp gastro and oomphalocele, kids are going to third space whether they get pain meds or not! That's what happens when the sturgeon plays around in there. @NicuGal, that would just...

I think you need to deal w/the dyslexia first. If you haven't already, get some diagnostic testing to figure out where the problems are, and develop a program to work w/it. Lindamood-Bell helped my...

ps--Use abstinence scoring on these babies. Gives you a "number" to tell the docs. If they have a pain service, (usually anesthesia) engage their services.

You are singing my song! Maybe I was just a disorganized mess, but I never could get it all done. I still have nightmares of blank flowsheets @ 6:30. No words of wisdom, just commiserating.

"...It's important that the baby get assigned to nurses that don't have hang ups about pain medications. I have seen babies get left in HORRIBLE obvious pain because some idiot thought that it was...

It was on the deal of the day page w/a lot of other aquarium supplies. But it will always be a pee-meter to me! ;)

This thread has sooo much that gets people 'going'. Baby Friendly starts all sorts of fights in MCH departments everywhere, so no reason it wouldn't here. Ditto for breast feeding vs formula. It's...

It's a refractometer--aka, a pee-meter. I was looking @ the 'deals of the day' on amazon--and there it is!! I always thought they were reeaally expensive. Not really. You had to squeeze a drop of...

You got the most imp't approval of all. Keep that in mind during the interview! Best wishes.

BTW, I went to the app store and search 'neonatal' and got a LOT more stuff than I knew about. Fantastic and not all were pricey.

I don't think tattoos are a problem. (depending on the subject matter!) Each unit/facility has it's own 'culture', so I'd think that would be something you'd have to check on later. I don't think...

Amazon.com: Merenstein & Gardner&#39;s Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care, 7e (9780323067157): Sandra Lee Gardner RN MS CNS PNP, Brian S. Carter MD FAAP, Mary I Enzman-Hines RN PhD CNS CPNP AHN-BC,...

I think it can make you an overwhelmed, tired, sad, and often depressed person. And you don't learn to recognize how overwhelmed, tired, etc., til you're so far in the hole you either start crying a...

@babyRN--nuts! I do like real books sometimes. Oh, well!

OKaaaay. Let's not get that! NeoFax - Truven Health Analytics Turns out there's an app for that! Another app you can get is a "bilirubin" app. Enter the baby's age in hours, and the...

I got a cell phone call from one of the managers one afternoon. I took great delight in telling her I was in Waikiki, and the last plane to the west coast had left already! ;)
