   moongoddess9301 replied to moongoddess9301's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   If this turned out to be something my manager made up, it would not be the first time she pulled a power move over the staff, which is the seminar example. It's why I'm questioning her statement...

2. Babysitting a former patient

   moongoddess9301 replied to moongoddess9301's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   I haven't decided if I'm going to do it yet, but whether I do or do not, I don't think it's any of the hospital's or my manager's business. This wouldn't be the first time my manager has tried to over...

3. Babysitting a former patient

   moongoddess9301 replied to moongoddess9301's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   My question isn't if I should or should not babysit. It is whether or not my employer can tell me I can't babysit a person who is no longer a patient at that hospital. It's my free time and the child...

6. Challenges of working in the NICU?

   moongoddess9301 replied to MamaMagic's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Hearing your own child cry and hearing a NICU baby cry are very different. Yes, there are days when crying babies at work can be very frustrating. But you have the benefit of coworkers who can help...

7. How does your hospital do this? Newborn Assessment Nurse

   moongoddess9301 replied to burritoexpert's topic in Ob/Gyn

   So, my hospital does this, but there is not always a NAN nurse scheduled or available. So it is the L&D nurse's responsibility to assess the patient if the NAN nurse is too busy or if there isn't...

8. Normal new grad feelings or not feeling NICU?

   I've been in level IV for about 5 years. Everywhere I've oriented, we did level 2 orientation for 6 weeks, then high acuity orientation for 12 weeks. The orientee assignment takes the sickest babies,...

   We have a patient who is now almost 8 months old. The entire unit loves her. We all want to volunteer to babysit for the mom when the baby goes home. My manager claimed that this is against the rules....
