  3. smallest micro

    NeoNurseTX replied to krltdy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    9 oz is 255g and 10 is 283g so somewhere in between! I'm not sure what happened to the 387grammer. He grew into a chronic, was off and on nitric, and last I heard was transferred out a stepdown...

    NeoNurseTX replied to Laurinq's topic in First Year After Licensure

    1) What floor did you spend your first year/months? NICU 2) Why did you choose the floor? I'd always wanted to do NICU and had done a capstone course in it and loved it. 3) Would you recommend that...

    NeoNurseTX replied to imanedrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. Don't want to be a nurse anymore

    NeoNurseTX replied to belindalou's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lay off the OT!! I might pick up ONE shift here and there but I value my sanity and leisure time more than the extra $$ on the

  7. I LOVE NIGHT SHIFT!!!

    NeoNurseTX replied to SQueenRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I looooove nights, too! Days are so crazy with consults and MDs and students waking the babies up all day and at night they finally get a little rest! Plus parents usually don't stay all night so we...

  8. blackout curtains advice

    NeoNurseTX replied to ymm123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I got my pretty curtains over my blackout curtains now but my BO curtains are such a pain to draw back for when I'm off. I really like the cardboard box idea..but my window for my bedroom is...

  9. Is is it normal to not like nursing?

    NeoNurseTX replied to intothemoon's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Heck, the charting 101 wouldn't have really helped too much... we were with paper charting when I started and now we are completely on the computer..it's a whole other

  11. Hiring/Education Question

    NeoNurseTX replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This...and no research, either. We also had a family dynamic and groups class...probably a few more I'm forgetting (or rather supressing!). Anyway, it really depends on the hospital. Magnet and those...

  13. Have you read "Nursing Against the Odds"?

    NeoNurseTX replied to ohcomeon's topic in General Nursing

  15. NICU nurses floating to PICU

    NeoNurseTX replied to bubbly's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've heard of people in my NICU floating to PICU soon after orientation is over and w/o orientation to PICU..and they took patients they did not feel able to care for. If I get floated up there and...

  16. Where can we find jobs, warm weather, and a beach?

    NeoNurseTX replied to Dtower's topic in General Nursing

    Houston is definitely warm, but we are sorely lacking in a beach that you'd want to step foot on. Galveston is not your typical 'beach'...it's pretty brackish looking and I'd need a good long shower...

  17. PANICKED! Missed first day of ORIENTATION, is it all over???

    NeoNurseTX replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

  18. What shift?

    NeoNurseTX replied to pumpkin455's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This sounds like a 5 day a week thing. I did M-F 3p-11p for a summer and it was AWFUL. By the time you get home, it's too late to do anything and then you end up having to sleep in since you got home...

  21. Do new graduates RN's get ,easier patients?

    NeoNurseTX replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    It's definitely not a place to be standoffish. Nursing is very much teamwork..that's why you do so many group projects in school! If you don't get along with your coworkers, you're going to hate your...

  22. Which hospitals claim to be on a hiring freeze?

    NeoNurseTX replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    No I mean I did the new grad internship at St. Joseph a while back and they did take me in for it after most other hospitals closed off apps for new

  23. Do Nurses have to do the following??

  25. Critical patient @ change of shift, which nurse is responsible??

    NeoNurseTX replied to Soulsinfinity's topic in General Nursing
