I have 2.7 years Level 3 NICU experience. I have my NRP book, My S.T.A.B.L.E. book and I purchased the Core Curriculum for Neonatal Nursing 5th edition book. Any other suggestions to assist in the process. Thanks

I am looking to move to North Jersey. I have an interest in St. Josephs Hospital . My specialty is NICU

Hello all, I am considering moving to New Jersey from Florida in the next few months. My specialty is in NICU and Psych. Any good hospitals out there? Also how is the cost of living ? I will be renting alone and want somewhere nice, pest free, and sa...

Thank you blue dawn RN for lots of information . :-)

I always wanted to work in the NICU. Well, the opportunity has presented itself but I am so scared. I was a premie myself and wanted to work in this area out of school and was never able to get in. The hospital I am going to start at orients using a ...

I agree go for NICU if thats what you want . I have transitioned nicely from adults to NICU. The best thing I ever did. I am so happy because it is something that I always wanted to do. Also, you may find it helpful to also take S.T.A.B.L.E as well a...

On my unit we have travelers. We embrace them and treat them like part of the team, with exception of the training (Only one shift of hands on orientation). They may be placed in the level 2 or 3 unit. We value our travelers because we know how it is...

I work with a few nurses who seem to hate life all together and take it out on anyone new. So far I have held my own, operated by the book and avoided harms way. There is intermittent break room bullying toward myself, but I snapped back twice and st...

Wow, that's a lot of pressure. Hopefully you will find some good ideas. How about asking you employees to brainstorm a few ways ? They may have some ideas or they can bring from other/past places of employment.

Hi, I am not really sure as I was never assigned to the baby. However, the parents were adamant about wanting everything done. Unfortunately, in less than a week neonate didn't make it .

Wow, I could only imagine.

New to NICU here, SO for some of you this may not be too interesting. However saw a full gestation c-section, severe IUGR, 3 missing limbs, trisomy 18, anomaly of the airway, trachea had to be inserted while still attached to placenta, straight to o...

Hello Everyone, I appreciate all the advice and came to say how wonderful the NICU has been to me. i am glad I made the switch I have enjoyed it all. I was very sad when I experienced 2 of the babies dying since Iv'e been there. They were not my assi...

At my workplace primary care nursing is used. If the nurse is working consecutive days they will try to give the nurse the same assignment to try to encourage continuity. However, if there are admissions or discharges the assignment may slightly chan...

Wow, that's a good point. I wonder why the nurses and speech therapy continue to even do such a practice....

Hello guys, I have been training in the NICU and my preceptor was switched. She is very nice and has 30 years of NICU experience. However, all she does is talk about her personal life, her upcoming retirement and her family, parents, life etc. I m...

I am not sure but alot of the nurses there are very nice and I have some inside scoop and have seen for my self how catty and manipulative they can be with one another. I am more of a laid back personality, honest, straight and serious when it comes ...

Although I am new to the NICU, I can say that I have observed the cross cut being used with formula thickened with rice cereal to prevent further reflux on a particular baby. I also observed nurses and speech therapy using a razor to cross cut the sl...

I replied to this but it didn't post how weird. Well, anyway. We have to be oriented on both nights and days and have a different preceptor for both. That is why I have a different preceptor now because I am on a different shift. No, we do not have r...

Okay ... Well I just registered for Kaplan Classroom Anywhere. It is for two weekends and can be done anywhere in the home. Has anyone taken the review with this method? If so please give some advice, pointers. I will start next weekend. I will do da...
