  1. Favoritism with working(or not working) holidays

    rnkaytee replied to sistrmoon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We're union and don't do it by seniority - otherwise, how would the floor get staffed with "newbies" vs

  2. Carseat for babies under 4lbs

    rnkaytee replied to jnick31's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If you google "car seats under 5 pounds" there's a good link to saferides.org and there's 2 Britaxes and 1 Chicco listed for 4-22 pounds. We have the parents sign a waiver stating that even though...

  3. Starting an ER job with no orientation?

    rnkaytee replied to LostnNakedNursing's topic in Emergency

    I feel for you - I understand that the nursing world is not a kind place for new grads. When I was a new grad I was offered a job similar to this - small ER, only 2 nurses at night. I knew that for...

  4. Anyone else still waiting on Acceptance/Rejections to FNP?

    rnkaytee replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Does anybody know for sure how long it should take? I just sent in my application to UMKC before the December 1st deadline - did you all get letters stating they had received your application...

  6. Required doctorate?

    rnkaytee posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, I know there are a million threads about this - just wanting some current opinions. I was planning on applying to NNP school to start Fall 2014 to graduate 2016. I'm hearing from people that...

  7. What can you tell me about NEC?

    rnkaytee replied to picurn10's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The only other "sign" I can think of is a normally not-fussy baby becoming really fussy. Twice this has happened where the only symptom was an hour-long bout of crying/inconsolability before the real...

  8. Neobar tape

    rnkaytee replied to ScammRNC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I guess I'm a little confused too? We use the Neobar system but no other tape. I actually liked just strictly "pink tape" and hate the new system but what are you going to do . .

  9. NNP vs. PA Advice?

    rnkaytee replied to dcorynn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Interesting that this is a topic on the front page since I'm in the same boat. I've been a NICU RN in a Level III for 12 years and they are needing NNPs in our unit. There will be a doctorate...
