1. We wear gloves to do tasks that are likely to involve baby's body fluids. For babies who are in contact isolation, we gown and glove every time we provide care. 2. For feeding tubes, we clean the ports with sterile saline wipes only when we see them soiled.

I recently moved to Palo Alto, CA. I am looking for a job closer to home. Lucile Packard Children Hospital Is the hospital I like to work in. They have NICU and pediatric units. Problem is their NICU does not have openings right now. I applied for job openings on two separate pediatric units and got two interviews which lead to no where. Then I saw 3 NICU job postings in another hosptital a little farther away from my house. I applied but have not heard anything from the nurse manager yet. I am currently working in a NICU at a hospital 50 miles from my house. I have been working there for about 8 years now. I like working there but I want to cut down on my commute time. Finding a new NICU job is harder than I imagine. Does anyone have the same experience? I can benefit from a few insights and advice.
