  1. Monitoring system

    NeoNurseTX replied to cymruusa's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yeah, Bear is supposed to get them. I slid one of mine over tonight (couldn't reach it to mute it and the kid beside mine had WAY too many toys to trip over) and it went out. I somehow got it going...

  2. 3 baby assignments

    NeoNurseTX replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  3. What are the best NICU books you've read?

    NeoNurseTX replied to neonatal_nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Besides non nursing/medical books, I like a book called Preemies ..it's by 3 authors. Anyway, it's written for parents and I think it's really helpful because sometimes I have a hard time explaining...

  4. Do you use isolette covers over your isolettes /giraffes?

    NeoNurseTX replied to iyqyqr's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We keep the lights on during the day and low/off at night. We do have covers on our isolettes. I think enough light still gets in on days to keep them on a cycle as the covers don't cover...

    You do have a clinical course the first

  6. 3 baby assignments

    NeoNurseTX replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow, you guys seem really pampered! Or maybe we're just used to having vents and a CPAP w/ admit or what not. Running IV...three babies..no big deal. I used to work in a level II/III combo and one...

  7. Monitoring system

    NeoNurseTX replied to cymruusa's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We have mostly HP...which look like they're from the early 80s and would better function as a door

  8. FOOTPRINTS

    NeoNurseTX replied to NANSNURSE's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We do them on everyone upon delivery (so the NICU nurses don't actually do them). But where I am now uses ink. Last place had a piece of plastic that you pressed the foot on and it would transfer the...

  10. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    NeoNurseTX replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    NO freaking

  11. Do all nursing specialties get paid the same?

    NeoNurseTX replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

    No ICU diff where I am now. My last place had an ICU diff of 1/hr more...however they didn't give it to

  12. Did you get any real benefit from being in the Student Nurses Assoc.?

    NeoNurseTX replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    Not worth it. Didn't even list it on my resume as I wasn't active in it. I've always seen it as a sort of cheating to join things but be inactive...and list it on your

  13. 3 baby assignments

    NeoNurseTX replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If they're difficult to feed, then I guess they're nippling... so it sounds more like level II. We get 3 baby assignments here and there but it's usually NC or CPAPpers. Last time I had one it was a...

  14. Have you kept your nursing books once finished with school?

    NeoNurseTX replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

  15. San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2009

    NeoNurseTX replied to AriaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ewww, don't rewear scrubs! That is on the same level as rewearing the same pair of underwear! Even if you don't sweat, just being in a hospital environment is

  16. A RN or HealthCare Management

    NeoNurseTX replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see this as an issue at all. And nurses are just med school rejects? The paths to nursing and to med school are completely different as are the job descriptions. Not even in the same

  17. RN versus Dental Hygienist

    NeoNurseTX replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Before I did nursing I was going to school to be an RDH.. however most of the ones I talked with wished they had done nursing and they seemed bored with their jobs and lack of mobility...so I decided...

  18. Feeling sick/nausea/panic attacks before my shift...please help!!

    NeoNurseTX replied to ljb2584's topic in General Nursing

    What's the point of this, to make those that do feel inadequate and like they can't cope in the 'real world?' Some nursing jobs take a lot more out of a person than others and if meds help a person...

  19. Nurse in Spain Makes Fatal Mistake in NICU

    NeoNurseTX replied to RN4Little1s's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  21. Getting into nursing but have OCD

    NeoNurseTX replied to Guest717002's topic in General Students

  23. Pathophys or not?

    NeoNurseTX replied to Murse7's topic in General Students

    I have NO CLUE why a program would not have patho. Take

  24. Overachievers

    NeoNurseTX replied to student005's topic in General Students

    Where I'm from, pretty much only the 'overachievers' even get into nursing school. They take the top of the top so when you actually get to nursing classes, everyone was 'number one' wherever they...

  25. would love to be nurse, but a bit anti-social

    NeoNurseTX replied to Ms Li's topic in General Students

    I was never a very sociable person with strangers until nursing school. Then I HAD to be or pretty much would have to pick a new career. I'm still shy but I force myself to be sociable. It's...
