  1. Calling all Mothers!!

    Humbled_Nurse replied to vcurrin02's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would check into your local church daycares as well. I am not saying that because it is a "church daycare" that it is perfect but in my experience the church daycares do a very good job. Most...

  2. Experience needed?

    Humbled_Nurse replied to bbrreend's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You would probably be better off with the Women's health experience so at least you would have some exposure to neonates. With a census that low and the fact that it is level II you won't really be...

    Humbled_Nurse posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Humbled_Nurse replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Humbled_Nurse replied to Julie Basilio's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We use a lot of Bubble CPAP in our unit. It's rare that we have a ventilated baby. Prevention is key. We just try to be diligent on keeping the prongs off of the septum and making sure they fit...

    Humbled_Nurse replied to iah023's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot to add that at this point I wouldn't worry about what college to get your Master's in. Before you get into an NNP program or a WHNP you will need nursing experience. If you want to pursue NNP...
