    NICU_Nurse replied to Coldfoot's topic in Nursing Humor

    Tardive Dyskinesia?

    NICU_Nurse replied to nurseygrrl's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have to pay for parking?

    NICU_Nurse replied to JJFROG's topic in General Nursing

    I work nights and work in an urban area. My former job had no parking- you either paid in rip-you-off pay lots nearby, or on the street if you could get it. Two slashed tires and a smashed...

    The Neobond is SPECTACULAR. I don't know about ETT's but I now use this on all my preemies as an under-layer beneath the pulse ox probes- I even tested it on myself by placing some on my arm and...

    NICU_Nurse replied to Ortho_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    THAT is very interesting! I'd like to see what they turn up with after lengthy research, but it sort of follows the whole cocaine-makes-the-lungs stronger line of thought. (Though, as a caveat to any...
