    Hi all, If a nurse has been out of school what is the best way to go about getting an academic letter of recommendation? Should I call one of my old

  2. feeding problems

    UTVOL3 replied to carla.hca's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  3. Academic letter of recommendation

    UTVOL3 replied to UTVOL3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Do you think it would be better to use a physician I have worked closely with recently (who also is med school faculty) or a nursing prof from 7 yrs

  4. circs

    UTVOL3 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Anyone here still do circs without some kind of anesthetic? (block or EMLA?) Anyone have any policy/position statements bookmarked? I know this is a heated issue for some especially those of us that...

    UTVOL3 replied to minky84's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  7. The Circumcision Discussion

    UTVOL3 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Aha. Maybe this is the answer. I just don't see your average Joe Blow physician making big money off circs is all I am saying. I gathered that was kind of the reason they are slowly stopping doing...

    UTVOL3 replied to minky84's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  10. The Circumcision Discussion

    UTVOL3 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is the whole study there? I am wondering if they have an option to email the author. Just wondering if they entertained the idea that the lidocaine might have been unit stock. If the documentation...

  11. The Circumcision Discussion

    UTVOL3 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    UTVOL3 replied to UTVOL3's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  16. Central Line Tubing Change

    UTVOL3 replied to jack4408's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I know in our hospital they specifically told us there was no evidence to support the sterile glove/mask/hat deal when changing out fluids on central lines. However, we were to do it anyway. They were...

    UTVOL3 replied to krltdy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  23. Parents never cease to surprise me

    UTVOL3 replied to NFB2008's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    UTVOL3 replied to jscrn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yup, you can even put it under an oximeter probe. Just have to be really careful not to be removing the tegaderm every shift too...I know that sounds like a given but sometimes people can get a little...

    UTVOL3 replied to Sweeper933's topic in NICU, Neonatal
