Hey fellow Neo's, Our unit is looking for assistance on the use of OGT/NGT's in your unit. Currently, we place an OGT for feeding and an OGT for venting (usually a 4-6Fr for feeding/8Fr for Vent) on infants that are vented,CPAP and sometimes even NC. We are looking at changing our practice and are curious what other units are doing... Do you use 2 tubes in your unit? (One for feeds and one for venting) What size tubes does your unit use? We have 4Fr to 8Fr. Even on our VLBW we use an 8Fr for venting. What does your unit do? Or do you place one tube and vent after feedings? Just looking for some info! Thanks in advance!

Hi! I am in my first semester of my master's program for Family Nurse Practitioner. I am having trouble coming up with any ideas for my last paper. I was wondering if anyone could help? I need to find a problem or a concern that could use change relating to the role of an APN. I need to implement a process of change. This is my actual description of my assignment: The purpose is to become familiar with a major issue that you would like to see changed within your chosen advanced practice role, to be able to thoroughly discuss the issue and the implications for advanced nursing practice. Guidelines: Select an issue related to your chosen area of interest (ie. NP, CNS, CNL, Educator, Administrator). Email your topic choice to your instructor by Oct. 31st. (This paper is 20% of course grade and is used as the artifact for your portfolio) Identify the issue and present a relevant review of the literature. (5/20%) Present a change theory and apply that change theory to your plan for dealing with your chosen issue. (5/20%) Discuss implications for advanced practice. (5/20%) Use correct grammar/spelling, correct APA format and reference correctly in APA style. (5/20%)So If anyone could be of help, that would be great!! Thanks!
