2. Getting out just in time!

   Summers_Off replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   That's not a guarantee. I had a student come in complaining of ear pain. No fever. Tympanic membrane looked fine. Sent student back. Called Mom just to inform and she decided to pick up student. Turns...

   My kid has a dairy allergy. I don't think requesting a dairy free elementary school would go over very well at all!

4. What do NICU nurses consider "viability"?

   Summers_Off posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

   I was taught in school that 26 weeks is viability. Is that viability in the real world? I know everyone wants full term, but if you or your wife was expecting, at what point in gestation would you...

7. How to get into MS from Psych? Killer Resume?

   Summers_Off replied to SapphireLove's topic in Medical-Surgical

13. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    Summers_Off replied to Summers_Off's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Unfortunately, this is the Children's hospital. They don't hire new grads in PICU. My family situation (and the housing market debacle ) will not permit me to relocate. I have to position myself using...

    Summers_Off replied to Summers_Off's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    LOL... yes. I was posting with three hours of sleep over two days. I meant for the poll to say "Peds" or NICU and I couldn't get back to the poll to fix it and also couldn't figure out how to delete...
