  1. How should I respond?

    UTVOL3 replied to I'mANurse!'s topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Dont forget the ever popular and all important "When can he have his circ?" LOL! You think I am kidding, but that is often the 2nd or 3rd concern of parents/grandparents when they have a baby boy, no...

  2. MSN in NICU

    UTVOL3 replied to NICUplease's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oh HECK no. They are the real workhorses of our unit, for lack of a better term. Even if we have trouble starting an IV or whatever, we'll be hollering for them. Also, I always thought this was cool,...

  3. MSN in NICU

    UTVOL3 replied to NICUplease's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would have to say NNP. In our unit their responsibilities are primarily patient care. They go on deliveries, do proceedures and see their own patient load as well. We had a CNS but it was kind of a...

  4. Funny Names

    UTVOL3 replied to nurserynurse55's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  6. Advice for new grad?

    UTVOL3 replied to shinyblackcar's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    At my old hospital the OB, Peds/PI and NI were all under 1 director. So we shared staff quite frequently especially if someone had an area they really wanted to get into. You could ask about that in...

  7. Know any lactation consultants? Have questions...

    UTVOL3 replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    That is terrible! At the hospital I had my baby at all of the nursery nurses helped out with breast feeding alot. I don't know how many of them were actually certified as lactation consultants. And...

  8. Pregnant and working as RN

    UTVOL3 replied to tcolleen's topic in General Nursing

    I had got pregnant unexpectedly a few weeks after getting my lisence. Financially there was no way I could quit. So I kept on working, on a floor just like yours. I often didn't get a break either but...
