We give parents labels and verify with 2 RN's or the mother if she is at the bedside. I am in a 55 bed level III with an 8 bed sub unit next to L&D. Our babies are all in private rooms or twin rooms and have a refrigerator for breast milk only in each room. We verify once a shift or reverify if additional milk is removed from the freezer during the shift. We allow 4 people at bedside with at least 1 being the mother or father (or support person). We also have an approved visitor list of 4 people who can be at the bedside without the parents but may not bring additional visitors or get any info on the baby

I am a NICU nurse with 2 years exp and am ready to start traveling. I need help knowing what is a good package. One agency told me 4200 a month in per diem and $10 per hour for Denver, CO. That sounds not quite right. She said there is a new tax laws that let them offer higher per diems that are tax free. I dont want to make a mistake. I thought travelers made more that that.
