    RainDreamer replied to spacey's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree. The odds that she contracted this from the baby is very slim. Just because mom tested positive doesn't mean the infant

    Staffing in a level III NICU

    RainDreamer replied to grinbyrd2's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We staff by acuity. Fortunately the unit I work in is well staffed and our assignments are usually staffed the way they should be. We have "acuity sheets" that each baby has in their chart. We score...

    Giving report....how much information is necessary to pass on?????

    RainDreamer replied to BabyLady's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    malpractice/liability insurance for NICU RN's

    RainDreamer replied to nicu4me's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Old NICU RN needs advice on re-entering workforce

    RainDreamer replied to txbabylover's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If you re-activated your license, then I don't see why you should have to go through a refresher course. The way they would handle this situation on my unit would be to offer you a 12-week orientation...
