    The following is going to be typed by my husband, who, as you can figure, is married to a nurse (me!): From NICU_Nurse's Hubby: 1. There is always a risk, but it's generally small. A television show...

    Can this be true

    NICU_Nurse replied to jacobsmum's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'd also like to add that, from your post, I'm taking it that this woman was the mother of a baby on the unit, not a nurse? In other words, this is a woman who got secondhand information (from the...

    Can this be true

    NICU_Nurse replied to jacobsmum's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well, I found this, which is interesting: Guinness Book of World Records World's Most Premature Baby "James Elgin Gill was born to Brenda and James Gill on May 20, 1987, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He...

    ICU Salary

    NICU_Nurse replied to shyviolet78's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Will do. :) I sent her an email; just waiting on a reply. I know that she's really happy there, though. She said that the ER is very high-tech (esp. compared to where she came from!) and she's...

    Plans to reduce pain in the neonatal intensive care unit NICU

    NICU_Nurse replied to Dave ARNP's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well, we use ATTIA, which is AWFUL, IMO. I'm going to present this at work and see what happens. Anyone have any additional information, aside from the original web

    Lord Have Mercy!

    NICU_Nurse replied to Rosepink's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I believe they work together- there was another post a while back that alluded to this. I'll tell you this, though...I'd change my user ID lickety-split if I had a co-worker coming on here and...

    Trying to transfer to Level II Nursery

    NICU_Nurse replied to my2sons's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    One little caveat for you. At my old hospital (yet again, one of the MANY reasons I'm not working there anymore!), they told you that yes, they'd rather keep you than lose you entirely, even if it...

    Single story living? :>D Anyone seen these?

    NICU_Nurse posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi! I was wondering if any of you were familiar with Equity Apartments, particularly all of their "single story living" flats, like those in this link...

    I was speaking with a nurse recruiter recently and discussing the possibility of an opening in the NICU in the next few months. She said, "Well, we don't have any openings in the NICU right now, but...

    Neonatal Stethoscope?

    NICU_Nurse replied to NICU-tc's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I hate that the acoustics aren't as highly rated on these (when, oh, when will they do something just for us?) but the Littmann neonatal steth has a radius that is smaller than almost any other...

    What can nurses deduct on their taxes?

    NICU_Nurse replied to a_clay's topic in General Nursing

    Whoops- forgot the last part. Yes, technically, you need receipts for everything you claim by itemizing. If you are audited, you are responsible for proving that you earned whatever deductions you...

    What can nurses deduct on their taxes?

    NICU_Nurse replied to a_clay's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Here's how it works. You *can* deduct work expenses, by itemizing your expenses, but there's a catch. Many things (uniforms that are not supplied by your employer and are not wearable in...

    African American Nurses in NICU

    NICU_Nurse replied to Rosepink's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This is certainly not the case with the hospital I just left. Most of the administration was African-American, a huge population of the nurses were from various areas in Africa (particularly Nigeria)...

    tiniest micropreemie

    NICU_Nurse replied to mweaverrn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    A) Poop, no matter how small the ass is, can still drip down a bed. And onto our shoes. And you can track it out of the room and not realize it until someone makes a face at you. B) Like Farrah...

    Was this really routine? On partial birth abortions

    NICU_Nurse replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "This poster" has certainly not forgotten about affluent and middle-class women who seek abortion access. As I said, and this most definitely pertains to that segment of the female population, I feel...

    Why is the term client used instead of patient?

    NICU_Nurse replied to LauraLou's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose I have always felt that the person is a client of the hospital but a patient of the nurse. I don't buy that hoeey about the word demeaning the person just because some yak-off decided that...
