We used each other and it paid off. It gave us a whole new perspective on the patients and how they feel.

:roll I find myself being the same way with my four year old daughter, I think it stems from working in a peds icu. Just tonight my dad was letting her ride her big wheel with out shoes and a helmet and here comes me running out the door yelling atthe both of them, recalling what I see everyday. I think being overprotective to some extent comes with the work that we do.

neuro breath is a nasty smelling stench that comes from a patients mouth and nose after they have suffered a major head injury, Its usually seen when the patient has been sedated and has an ET tube

I have to things that really gross me out is neuro breath (doing mouth care with patients with neuro breath) and artificial eyes I had a patient when I first statred nursing who's eye would fall out and she always came to me to put it back in YUCK!!!!

I work at childrens hospital pittsburgh, I work 12 hour shifts 36 hours one week and then flex for 44 hours the next, We have a high patient census and the staffing is getting a lot better
