  1. Nipps, Pipps, N-pass....

    2curlygirls replied to prmenrs's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We use N-PASS but used to use PIPP which was awful IMO...Oh we also use

  2. Well Baby Nursery Question

    2curlygirls replied to l&drocks's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have to agree with Fergus! That seems excessive! How many babies do you have as an assignment at any one

  3. Late crumpers

    2curlygirls replied to LilPeanut's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We had a kiddo recently on NC iNO for 5 months post ECMO for CDH. Poor kid ended up dying the day before they were taking him home. Another was a transfer from another facility-ex 25 weeker, had...

  4. Cytotec?

    2curlygirls posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not an L&D nurse but I work with them a lot as part of a ped's team. I've heard such horrific things about Cytotec yet our hospital (which is a very well known teaching and research...

  5. Scheduled C/S = NICU???

    2curlygirls posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yesterday, I made the "claim" that the vast majority of C/S (scheduled or otherwise) babies go to the well baby nursery. I have been going to C/S for 4+years now and that is my experience. How about...

  6. Erythromycin and fused eyes

    2curlygirls replied to Humbled_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Honestly don't know our policy on this. It's in the standing admit orders on babes that come from L&D but I don't know how many people do it on fused eyes. Aren't I

  7. Would you consider a home birth?

    2curlygirls replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree with Gompers. We have all manner of babies in our NICU. Full term cardiac, surgical, preemies, metabolic kiddos. Some odd stuff that no one else is quite sure how to manage. The...

  8. Co-bedding Twins

    2curlygirls replied to cshell1964's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our step down nursery does it. I think they are too critical when they are with us. As soon as they are sort of stable and working on feeds they go to the intermediate

  9. Cytotec?

    2curlygirls replied to 2curlygirls's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks guys. It was not my intention to seek for medical advice, I was just wondering what you though of the contraversy of Cytotec, if

  10. Cytotec?

    2curlygirls replied to 2curlygirls's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I guess it's link to uterine rupture??? Uterine hyper-stim (which I realize can be caused by other cervical ripeners too). I'm just a pregnant NICU nurse who's trying to educate myself on more...

  11. The Cold Shoulder?

    2curlygirls replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi! I'm new too. Needed a place filled with people who have some understanding of this HUGE area of my life. I absolutely love my job and taking care of babies. Thanks for posting on the homebirth...

  12. Would you consider a home birth?

    2curlygirls replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Angry is one thing. I've had parents vehemently refuse antibiotics for their obviously septic child. Most of our homebirth transfers are just very scared though. And I do think a lot of outcomes...

  13. Would you consider a home birth?

    2curlygirls replied to 2curlygirls's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank everyone for responding. I have been attacked (!!!) an another discussion board where they call hospital birthers "mindless masses" and "idiots". They advocate things like refusing GBS testing...
