Would anyone be interested in taking an RNC review course in Dallas, TX for the RNC-NIC? Methodist Dallas is working along with March of Dimes to put on a 3 day Review Course in November. The cost will be around $300 - $350. I will have more details...

I have mixed feeling. I believe in your right to privacy, but I've also seen what happens when Narcolepsy is not revealed to an employer.

don't worry about ending her career. she made her decisions and she needs help. you may have saved her life by reporting her and you definitely protected her patients.

I'm 35, have been repeatedly told I look about 16 and I still get carded everywhere. They always look my ID up and down like its fake. In my 12.5 years in the NICU, I've been asked many times by parents if I'm old enough to be a nurse. I always assur...

due to vaccine reaction i have lost a significant amount of function in my dominate arm and hand. bedside nursing is no longer a feasible option for me. i am devastated. when i lucked into nicu nursing 12.5 years ago i found my home and it is truly w...

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I have applied for a transfer center job. Now, I'm just praying the director will consider a nurse with only NICU experience.

i took care of a premature baby whose father died just before she was born. this baby girl was always looking up and to the left side of the room when i cared for her. odd since 24 wk premature babies can't focus their eyes. her mom liked to think it...

I am also struggling right now. I am looking for a job and struggling to afford medications and my bills. I am also feeling very spiritually challenged. I hope you can see that you are not alone. 'We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and t...

forget the grinch’s. if your work's dress code allows, wear the holiday scrubs.

maybe this is a question you could ask. are there any stress coping strategies you wish your employer would offer classes on? yes no if yes, which ones and why?

If you decide to go the NP route, you might want to think about Pediatric NP and not Neonatal NP. Working in the NICU you obviously like kids, but with a NNP you are almost certainly going to be stuck in the hospital. With a PNP, you should be able t...

:) Thanks! You guys have mentioned a few things I have not thought of.

coolpeach - it was the tdap vaccine that messed up my arm 2.5 years ago. the consensus of several experts in their respective fields is that i have an atypical complex regional pain syndrome. i've seen at least 2 generalists, 3 neurologists, 1 infect...

Great topic! Thinking about it I have a couple: - I had a mom (who was a professional photographer) of an infant who had died take the time to tell me how lovely my photos were of her baby and of the family. She said I should join the photographers w...

below is in artical summary that gives reasons perterm infant are put to sleep in a prone postion by nicu nurses. mind you at the end they do advacate for supine sleeping to reduce the risk os sids, but as the previous poster noted our babies in the ...

Unfortunately, I don't know of any other courses being offered at this time or a way to get the info. I was really counting on this course as well. If I find out anything, I'll post it.

i'm sad to announce this course has been cancelled do to lack of early registrations. if you have registered and paid, you will get a full refund. it will hopefully be rescheduled for spring.

Sorry to hear that happens at your hospital. I had a sever adverse reaction to the Tdap vaccine almost 3 years ago and I still have a job.

"i will carry you" by angie smith is a book from the parent side of things, but it is about a families decision to continue a pregnancy for a baby they know will not live long. "little man" is a documentary that gives a realistic look at we do in th...

for me, i know from the time i was 7 that i wanted to be a pediatric nurse, general floor or icu, until i interviewed in a nicu just before graduation. i had never even considered nicu, i only went because the nurse recruiter had a feeling. i know im...

I am pretty sure even in healthcare it is standard to give two weeks, but your manager can let you go sooner if she/he wants once you turn in your two week notice. I would check your hospital policy first.

just a remimder: after next monday, october 18, 2010 regular registration for this 3 day review course is $350 with a deadline of november 11, 2010. that's an extra $55. more info and registration can be found at www.marchofdimes.com/texas

This works unless you have a one of a kind name like I do. I have even considered changing my first name. If at all possible, cover your last name. I've had a couple of stalkers and would not wish that on anyone.
