Hi there... I work nights (7p-7a) and sometimes I have the hardest time staying awake. I guess my biggest problem is getting enough sleep before hand... But my question to you all is: What do you do at night (when you have the spare time) to ke...

I read the letter that our attending recieved from the company. They did a recall of the machines because a few hospitals found some bugs in them... starts with an R...Wish I could remember the name!!!!! So they are looking for ways to sterilize the...

gasp!!! I dont know if we have a policy!!!!!

our unit needs something too.. but no $$ in the budget

in my level 3 unit... cna's do nothing.

we use sweetease... although i think we are switching to tootsweet (because its cheaper of course). No doc order. but a standard protocol. 0.2 ml x3. Not on NPO or intubated kids

all of our blood products are ordered to be pre-filtered

gosh, it seems like everyone gets survanta in our unit. Im going to say under 32 wks is an automatic. Older than that.... it depends on their resp. status, admit xray, etc.

we have the usual blue/pink crib cards with their info on it (dob,wt, etc) just like the well baby nursery. A very talented nurse we have on Days does calligraphy, and makes each babe their own name card that hangs elsewhere on their bed. Then we d...

I would love a copy of your "brains".... our unit has a little half sheet that everyone uses.. but its still not good enough for me... I need more organization!! TIA!!! Jessica

we do it just like gompers.....

what kind of fluff are you using?

I LOVE EM!!! :rotfl:

3 minute scrub and surgical hospital scrubs for us... scrub and gown for parents.

we pull extra nurses from other maternal child units (which happens quite frequently... they will get the feeder grower assignment, no ivs, pretty basic) that are available and then we start calling in for OT... if no one can do that then they use in...

our kids get rice cereal if they need it... no NEC here for a while

ive only been on my own for a few months now and I got called to a delivery (we were short staffed) and i about had a heart attack. Ive never shaken so bad in my life, and i was only tearing tape!!! i felt like an idiot but the parents said everyone...

congrats!!!:yelclap:

I think its great... especially since it gives the preemie babies an automatic score...

havent heard of them doing it at my hospita.... but im very intrigued????

That was probably the best explanation I have ever heard!!! Thanks!!

tell her the same things you just told us. any place would be very lucky to have you!!

we give it to our little guys before they go home... and if anyone else is seemed to be at risk, they get it that day too. The synagis is really expensive so we try to be cost effective!!

HI there, Well, both Covenant and ST Marys are in downtown Sagnasty. Which arent the best of areas, so you probably want to look at places more on the outskirts of downtown. More by the mall area than by the hospitals... The hospitals are great and ...

My vote goes for St Mary's... Friendly and caring environment for patients and employees... but like the other post said, go check em out for yourself and see what kind of vibes you get on the floor you would like to work on. Thats the only way of r...
