    darynash replied to darynash's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I do practice in Texas and we have tried the Communication Book too. I guess I need to work on the manager's to have them hold their staff accountable. It seems "professional responsibility" has...

  4. Did I under react?

    darynash replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The doc overreacted. I think your assessment was correct. His head hurt. We need to be careful giving O2. We are so used to giving it indiscriminately and we now know that the free radicals that...

    darynash replied to imahobbit's topic in General Nursing

  9. Oral Only System

    darynash replied to darynash's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We are pretty happy with our OG tubes and extension sets. Our headache right now is the oral syringes not working in our Baxter pumps for continuous feeds. That is a great idea to use the old pumps....

  10. Glucose Testing

    darynash replied to nurseob7's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    darynash replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    An important rule for all preemies is to conserve energy. If you are burning more calories than you are taking in, you will not gainweight and get bigger. Eating from a bottle takes lots of calories...

    Currently, babies that require observation are done in the NICU but we are building a new general nursery and training staff to keep Level II type babies and OBS babies. We are so busy that we do not...
