  1. Test your PEDS critical care knowledge

    NeoPediRN replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I'm thinking splenic trauma/lac, starting to get hypovolemic which caused the BP drop? What does the head CT show? Sometimes certain bleeds won't show initially and then do with a repeat, but a...

    NeoPediRN replied to guiltysins's topic in Pediatric

    I work in what's called med-surg but it's mostly kids right out of the NICU/PICU. About half the kids have trachs and are vented. We have 3-4 kids depending on staffing, most are babies. I get report...

  12. NG placement techniques

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    We drop a lottt of NG tubes at my work. I've done a few now and was wondering your opinion on something. For babies who are conscious, do you find it's better to swaddle, get it in quickly and over...

  14. Advice on stable vents/trachs.

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Hi there. I start a new job next week that involves a lot of tracheostomies and stable vents. I've never worked with them in pediatrics, and only seen them when working as a tech on an adult pulmonary...

  15. Please help, I am not too sure how to pursue this career.

    NeoPediRN replied to geekegirl's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Sounds like you had a life changing experience. :) You'll need to apply to nursing school first and ideally get your Bachelor's of Science in Nursing (BSN). From there you can apply to new grad...

  17. How would you rate your RN position?

    NeoPediRN replied to Sugar-Phosphate's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a post ICU pediatric rehab hospital, mostly with infants. I'd rate it 7 out of 10. It would be 10/10 if I could get 36 hours/week consistently, if we got more practice with IV meds, if we...

  18. Children's Hospital ICU's

    NeoPediRN replied to ittybabyRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    We get most of our kids from the various ICUs at Children's. Last I knew the NICU officially has 25 beds, ECMO capable, does surgery, everything but open heart...those kids go to the CICU. They have...

  19. Advice on stable vents/trachs.

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Those are some excellent tips, thank you! When you say the vent will alarm first, do you mean because it's delivering a set number of breaths there could technically be no true apnea? Also, If a child...

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Thank you thank you for all of your advice! I had my first day on the floor today and it helped so much. I was able to relax, take a step back, and really assess the kids to know who needed...

  21. New to pediatrics

    NeoPediRN replied to Renantex's topic in Pediatric

    Do you have any trach experience? I just wanted to warn you to be very careful with home health companies that deal with pediatrics. There are very very few reputable ones. I was offered two...

    NeoPediRN replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 1.5 years and have had 4 jobs. Still holding my very first one, a charge nurse in pedi psych per diem in which I am very active. Second one I only made it 8 months, 4-5...

  23. I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

    NeoPediRN replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Its pretty evident right there in those last couple of sentences. You are constantly searching for something more. Gratification. Fulfillment. You think youll find it in a new job, but then you run...

  24. Lovenox question.

    NeoPediRN replied to LuVnLpN08's topic in General Nursing

    Lovenox is weight-based, usually 1 mg/kg q12 for acute tx but can go as high as 1.5mg/kg. How many shots you give it in has nothing to do with it, but the accurate dosing has everything to do with...

  25. Feeling bad because I didn't "go with my gut"

    NeoPediRN replied to LuVnLpN08's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes. My gut feeling is that if your facility is one that is so unfamiliar with an anticoag drug like Lovenox then it shouldnt be taking high acuity patients like that. Secondly, it sounds like the...
