   Thanks

2. Practice with Barton-Schmitt protocols

   Humbled_Nurse posted a topic in Telephone Triage

   Hello everyone! I've recently started doing some pediatric telephone triage from home. My background is NICU nursing where I still currently work PT. I do have some experience in pediatric nursing...

3. Revising of NICU levels

   Humbled_Nurse posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Just curious to see if ya'll have heard about the revising of the levels of care and what your thoughts are on this. I think we can all agree on what Level I and Level IV entail, but Level II and...

4. moving to Denton Tx

   Humbled_Nurse replied to myotrack915's topic in Texas Nursing

   There are 2 hospitals in Denton. They are medium size community hospitals. One of them is Presby Denton which is part of Texas Health Resources (THR) which is a non-profit and operates several...

5. Speaking of tape residue...(and other pet peeves)

   Humbled_Nurse replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Agree with everyone! My biggest pet peeve as Tiffy mentioned is disorder. The clutter drives me nuts. Messy bedside carts and especially cluttered beds. The bed may not necessarily be dirty, but...

6. Interesting cases anyone?

   Humbled_Nurse replied to Humbled_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Thanks for all the responses. Very interesting stuff. I definitely see us sharing our "interesting cases" as a learning opportunity. I would much rather read a "case study" in a journal rather than...

7. Shift Cancellations (Please HELP!!)

   Humbled_Nurse replied to wenRN01's topic in Nursing Career

   That does seem unfair to me. At my hospital PRN, PT, then FT gets cancelled in that order and it goes by turn. We also have a list of people that are requesting "EO" so they would get cancelled 1st,...

8. Bringing Developmental Care to a Unit

   Humbled_Nurse replied to jpeters84's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Wow. I'm surprised that such a high level NICU wouldn't follow best developmental practices. I would start with the manager and/or educator and see what they think. I agree that too much change at...

9. PICU or NICU

   Humbled_Nurse replied to SeattleRN6's topic in PICU, Pediatric

   Well it depends on what you are passionate about. Are you drawn to 1 particular area more than the other? Is this an area you have wanted to go into before? When I was in nursing school I was only...

10. Interesting cases anyone?

    Humbled_Nurse replied to Humbled_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    As far as I know the baby with Legionnare's disease didn't make it. I have always found the genetic anomalies and syndromes very interesting and of course sad. I have always wondered why some hang...

11. Interesting cases anyone?

    Humbled_Nurse posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I work in a medium size nonsurgical level III NICU so sometimes things get a little boring. Sure, on occasion we get a really interesting case, but for the most part it is preemie land. So does anyone...

12. Newborn call parameters

    Humbled_Nurse replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think this is where critical thinking skills come into play. Yes, having a blood sugar of 42 in the first few hours after birth can be okay, but after 24 hours this is not okay. If a baby had some...

13. Can working as a L/D tech...

    Humbled_Nurse replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think you most definitely made the right decision. Any experience is better than none. I know the job market for new grads is really tough right now especially for specialty areas like NICU. I...

14. Need recommendations, please

    Humbled_Nurse replied to SusanAndersonEdwards's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Okay so this is totally off topic. Just wanted to say that your avatar is the exact Origami Owl locket I designed. I posted a picture of it back in Feb. or March on an Origami Owl Facebook group and...

15. And the award for most asked question goes to...

    Humbled_Nurse replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We get the circ question a lot while still in the OR or DR. It's fine to ask, but can you at least wait until the baby is
