  1. C-ELBW

    A tiny baby unit sounds incredible with a certified team! Our unit started taking 22 wkers last year and have had several in the last year. It's definitely uncharted territory that we are still trying to navigate. I have not heard of resuscita...
  2. C-ELBW

    Oh you should be fine then!! I didn't study incredibly long for it. I took it 6 wks after I signed up for it. I am curious, does your unit compensate you for having this certification or do you get specific assignments when you have it? I am the...
  3. C-ELBW

    I took the breakdown of the test from the website, as it gives all the topics it covers and I corresponded it with the Golden Hours. If I felt it was too vague, I used the Core Curriculum Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing by Verklan in which I looked u...
  4. C-ELBW

    Hello! Yes, I took the certification right after it came out. I read "Golden Hours" from NCC and then just looked at the breakdown of what the test covered and self studied the topics. I have also taken the RNC and the C-NNIC and found the C-ELBW to ...

    Wow!! This was all incredibly helpful!! Thank you so much for answering my questions! I am still trying to process going to all deliveries by myself without a nicu respiratory therapist --that's intense!

  8. RNC NICU question

    OK thanks everyone.
  9. RNC NICU question

    Does your manager have to approve that you have met the requirements before I can test? I'm wishing to do it without people knowing... but is that not possible?
  10. Any 22 weekers out there?

    Its a gray area since a couple days off in gestation could actually mean the infant is a 23wker. With that being said, we do take infants a couple days shy of 23 wks and they have survived and are doing well. :)
  11. Injuries r/t toning sneakers

    They hurt my back and knee. I am a small person, very hyper-mobile and this really messed my back up. I had to go to therapy for 6 weeks to help recover from it. 9 months later I tried them again for 1 day because my other shoes weren't working ri...
