I have been a nurse for many years. When the month arrives for TB and flu shot, we just got it without question. I would think that you would be compromising your fragile patients health by working in oncology.

I work in NICU. Somethings bad when all the lights are on and the crash cart is outside the door. Hoping that's not your assignment for the day.

I have been a NICU nurse for over 20 years. And still am. I taylor my reports to whoever is taking. I might give all the details to s newer nurse. We have kardex's for all our babies from which we give report from. I read what I think is important to the oncoming nurse. Other wise they can read it themselves for more details. Personally I would rather just have the recent important details.

I work in NICU and all we use is saline flushes for locks. Seems to work well. We never lock a Picc line.

I've been a NICU nurse for many years and I love it. Couldn't imagine working anywhere else. Love the babies.

We can wear a plain wedding band without jewels. No artificial nails either.

NICU nurse here. I love to suction. It gives me great satisfaction to clean out all the boogies. Nothing like clearing out the airway

Lol! My name tag starts out with my photo and name showing and shortly returns to the blank side. Maybe they should make it two sided.

We just went to private rooms and now allow up to four people at a time. Have to say I liked it better when we could only have two at the bedside. It's sometimes hard trying to maneuver around four people

Took care of a baby that was supposed to be discharged the next day. That night, the baby developed NEC. It can happen that quickly. Very scary

I have worked in NICU for the past 29 years. Turnover is low. You either really like it or hate it. Obviously I love it and couldn't imagine working anywhere else.

Prayers for you🙏🏼

I feel the same way. I'm an RN in NICU and I have very little compassion for drug addicted parents. They rarely visit and when they do they wake the baby (who has not slept all day) and when they hear the high pitched crying they leave. In fairness though some parents do try to stay straight and are interested in caring for their infant. Very difficult situation to handle with compassion.
