My name is Don. I work at Arkansas Children's Hospital in a 26 bed PICU. We also have a 31 bed CVICU and an 85 bed NICU. I have worked here for 1.5 years and love it. Being the only hospital for children in the state, we care for all acuity of pts. We have MDs 24 hrs a day and use a very Team-like approach in pt care. Our shifts are three 12 hr shifts per week, with self-scheduling and premium pay for extra shifts worked. ACH was ranked in the Forbes Top 100 best places to work for in 2007 and 2008. Not many hospitals make the list. I LOVE IT.

Anoter test we also use is pH. The stomach is much more acidic than the duodenum. Of course this test can be obscured by certain medications or conditions and therefore is not definitive. This is also assuming you can aspirate contents. Don

Well get this. Twice this month we have had kids brought in that were beaten nearly to death while in DHS custody. Where is the justice in that?
