The doc here orders his indocin over 4 hours. What's up with that? Does anybody else do that? Thanks ahead of time.

Hi, I know sometime this thread has been done before, but I can not find it. I was hoping you would all take the time to do it again. I want all your IV stick tricks of the trades kind of thing. Where do you like to start an IV and why? What are your tips for difficult sticks. How many times do you try, needle type preferences etc. tourniquet or not? Big neonates, micropremies any and all tips appreciated. Thanks so much

In the nursery I now work there are a few nurses who insist on using NUK nipples for breastfeeding infants when they require bottle feedings. Where I worked before we never used them unless the infant had a special need for them. One reason I still don't use them like the other nurses where I work now do, is if the infant becomes used to them they are harder for parents to find outside the hospital and they are considerably more expensive. I would like to hear what other nurses think and have been doing. Thanks ahead of time. Linda

Hi, This board doesn't seem too active, but I will try anyway. If there are any nurses out there from Ireland I would like to hear from you. I am an American nurse with 30 years experience, currently working NICU. Basically, I want to a recruiter to see this and offer me a job. Thanks...
