  1. Nursery to NICU.... ?

    Humbled_Nurse replied to RainDreamer's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  2. Ideas for a New Unit

    Humbled_Nurse replied to CCU NRS's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I don't work in CCU, but I work in NICU. One thing that I saw another NICU do is have hidden trash cans and hampers. They were built into the wall and they would pull out. I thought that was a...

  3. Gastric Washings

    Humbled_Nurse replied to DADENTY's topic in Pediatric

  7. PBDS competency test for OB

    Humbled_Nurse replied to Alanrs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wouldn't worry about the test too much. I recently took it and did well. I work NICU so it was relevant to that area. As you already said it isn't necessarily a pass/fail type situation. They...

  8. Can someone tell me what a NNP does?

    Humbled_Nurse replied to bbrown1's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well the ones I work with round on all the babies daily and write orders. The physican on that day will follow behind them and sign off on the progress notes and orders and possibly write additional...

  9. Vapotherm pulled by CDC???

    Humbled_Nurse replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal
