  2. Does you hospital have magnet status?

    dawngloves replied to dawngloves's topic in General Nursing

    It looks like the views are 50/50 on working at a magnet.But I just don't see how a hospital that has no retention incentives, no recognitions and just piss poor morale can think they can turn it...

    dawngloves replied to cswain12000's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks Gompers, I'll keep those in mind. I don't think we had it at less than 6L and the AC is so cold on the unit! Guess we'll have to play around some

    dawngloves replied to cswain12000's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Gompers, we're trialing Vapor Therm too. Do you have a problem with water shooting out the prongs and up the babies

  7. I love my job, but....

    dawngloves replied to cswain12000's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I hear ya! I'd rather have an intubated baby than CPAP. We've been using mask (when we have them )and the kiddos are still miserable! Scoot all over, cry and cry, set off the

  8. Organization Tips and Suggestions for the NICU

    dawngloves replied to maleNICUnurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My method is similar to Gompers. Another advantage to this is if you are called to a delivery, a nurse covering for you can look at your list and see what your babies

  9. Ever use Celebrex or Indocin to stop PTL?

    dawngloves posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was just reading about reaserch for this and was wondering how it was working out.Any

  10. Ever use Celebrex or Indocin to stop PTL?

    dawngloves replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Celebrex may be safer because of constriction of the ductus. Also Indocin may decrease amniotic fluid.

  11. Labor & Delivery Units Closing

    dawngloves replied to mfshirk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm in PA and my OB had to stop doing deliveries when she could no longer afford the insurance. Of course this was half way through my pregnancy. She could do PNC, but it's never a given she'd deliver...

    What are you using to tape your

  13. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    dawngloves replied to kar212's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Interesting thought fergus. At my facility and the one I delivered at, moms that have had a fetal demise or had a baby sent to NICU go to a different floor entirely, (still a GYN floor, but no...

  14. Operative Vaginal Deliveries

    dawngloves replied to ~DDee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've seen it a couple of times.I think this was because of decels. Scary. I was literally jumping up and down with anxiety. Babies were fine except for big scalp hematomas and a jaw bruise or two....

  15. Securing NGT's in a developmentally friendly way

    dawngloves replied to GoForIt's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The thing is we change our NG/OGs every 24 hours. It is a drag as we have to pull the tape off the kiddos face. We are trialing long term tubes

  16. Nitric Oxide

    dawngloves replied to Bruno Matos's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've often wondered about the contamination as well. If I had a dime for everytime the bag was left open...it's a pretty open unit, but still.

  17. Intubation

    dawngloves replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why isn't peds at the delivery? Or another anesthesiologist? Are you in a small hospital? I don't understand's Anesthesia's arguement. Do they not go to codes because "That's not my pt." ? My NRP is...

  18. I Hate Pp!

    dawngloves replied to nekhismom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well I won't argue with you there. When I had my kids no one taught me bull splat. It seemed like it was all done in my first hour on PP. Maybe it was just assumed because I was a nurse I would know...

  19. I Hate Pp!

    dawngloves replied to nekhismom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I thought this post was titled "I hate ppl!" as in people. :imbar I was like, "Right on sister! Me too!" :chuckle I can see where you're coming from. I'd hate doing PP too. I'm just not a good...

    dawngloves replied to Kalico's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Not to side track, but Tiki, are you required to have ACLS?? How often do you use that?

    I have an ASN and so do many of my co workers. Good

  23. At what gestation would YOU want YOUR baby saved?

    dawngloves replied to StacyC417's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hmmm.. tough to say. I would probably say 26 weeks, but if less than 28 and made it out or the delivery room I'd definately have a DNR order. I am sitting here looking at a bunch of "Success" stories...

  24. Care plan for a 4th degree

    dawngloves replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The ones where I delivered hooked up to the sink,was like a nice bidet. :chuckle When I got home I couldn't use it that way (sink too far from toilet!) so I would fill it up on the toilet and fill up...

    dawngloves replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would have lost my mind without my sitz Debbie! Those women don't know what they're missing.
