  1. IUPC and Fetal Spiral Electrode Placement

    dawngloves replied to nurse79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can I highjack and ask how to get the scalp clip off?? The docs and I always putz around with it until the OB nurse helps us out.

  2. safety for children in a car

    dawngloves replied to GingerSue's topic in Pediatric

    Each airbag will deploy with a different force. It is impossible to predict how much and other circumstances, so rather than generalize height and weight, the TSA gives an age. All front seat...

  3. Clear TPN?

    dawngloves replied to EricJRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Then why wouldn't the doc just order a bag of D10 or D12 1/2

  4. Getting sick when your a NICU nurse?

    dawngloves replied to cherokeesummer's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If I am sick, I call out. Just because I am a nurse doesn't make me less infectious or less of a threat to those around me. It is more dangerous for me to go to work sick than it is for Jane Smith,...

  8. NICU filling with miscarriages

    dawngloves replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think so. How many times a month are there stories on the news about the baby born "the size of a soda can". Who the doctors said wouldn't live and now is home and "isn't it a miracle"? No one clues...

  9. Need some ideas RE: external NICU appearance

    dawngloves replied to twinkletoes53's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our unit is so incredibly ugly.

  10. Cup feeding associated with longer hospital stays

    dawngloves replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I wish there was a study on "nipple confusion" done

  11. Flight Crew keeps 1 lb. preemie alive on flight

    dawngloves replied to cathys01's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Me too! CPR for half an hour???

  12. How Many Patients Do Your Monitor Tech's Watch?

    dawngloves replied to Ace1's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying that one person monitors 60 people?? That's nuts! One place I worked tele had a tech and they monitored up to 30 pts at a time. I did agency at one place and there was no tech. It was...

  13. Do nurses do it all?

    dawngloves replied to babyjen's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why don't you think about becoming a Nurse Midwife? You'll deliver babies all the time.

  14. Nipple Confusion

    dawngloves replied to B. Far's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Breastfeeding is so much harder for the little guys. Too exhausting. If they don't bf at all , chances are they aren't bottle feeding all that well either. Nipple shields (another LLC no no) have...

  15. You don't have to be a nurse to start your own nurse agency?

    dawngloves replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's funny because I'm a nurse and I don't do any of those

  16. Do you give breastmilk/formula/glucose to vented patients?

    dawngloves replied to Sweden's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You mean PO? We've given glucose on a pacifier, but that's it. How would they swallow anything

  17. infection control

    dawngloves replied to RN4BABES's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Here's a similar thread from earlier in the year:

  18. IS it ok to wear scrubs to an interview?

    dawngloves replied to WinksRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, you should go in full blown white dress, white shoes and cap. Like in Nurse

  19. IV pumps

    dawngloves replied to khb78's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I thought it was just me! If it's that easy, I'm bothered that this has to be asked.

  20. flushing medications??

    dawngloves replied to fgold's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but maybe I'm not getting your question. Are you asking how to program a pump to deliver 75mls in 30 minutes when the pump asks how many

  21. Codeine can turn toxic in nursing mothers

    Gene transformed drug into morphine, which killed infant http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060510.wxcodeine10/BNStory/National/home This sounds like a rare occurance to me. It's a...

  22. Funny Names

    dawngloves replied to nurserynurse55's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    :uhoh21: Let's see how long it takes for someone to post about Sh*thead and the Jello

  23. Great NICU's/transport teams

    dawngloves replied to rosem1's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Would these places do Peds in general transports or do they specifically have Neonatal transport? I always assumed you'd have to do everything in a transport

  24. Hydrops

    dawngloves replied to juliachloe's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If you use universal precautions any pt should be OK for you to care for. But if you don't feel comfortable, refuse. I'd understand if a pg nurse didn't want to take a CMV

  25. Feeding Unpasteurized Goat Milk?

    dawngloves replied to pirap's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yeah, I don't get why she isn't just breastfeeding??! :uhoh21: What next? Bringing in a goat to nurse the
