    UTVOL3 replied to Mithrah's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    UTVOL3 replied to lvnurs9's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    That seems odd. I didn't know there was a time frame on trying Neoprofen. Or maybe there is, I am not as used to that as indocin. Huh. I just looked it up real quick and it is only indicated for...

    UTVOL3 replied to sweet0176's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  17. What do level III RNs think of level II?

    UTVOL3 replied to Peanut_RN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the anymosity. Our unit works as 1 big blob. Meaning there is no difference between those that work criticals and specials. As anywhere there are those that...
