    dawngloves replied to z's playa's topic in Emergency

    I'll tell you what, due to some recent injuries, I have personally noticed a trend toward undermedicating pts in the ER and on the floors. Are we that jaded that we think a Tylenol will suffice a...

  9. a Serious Feeding Question

    dawngloves replied to NeoMomRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I can't say I've seen I've seen any "true" NEC in quite some time. I think I've only had two cases this year. Our trophic feeds usually start out at 1cc q6 and we advance like 1cc QOD. Not very...

  12. Bilious Vomiting

    dawngloves replied to mtre23's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    dawngloves replied to BRANDY LPN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  15. M. Murray has scared the pants off me

    dawngloves replied to Bessie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What the docs have you doing is out of your scope of practice, i.e. writing orders. Sounds like you need to blow the whistle here. And playing devil's advocate, why couldn't the doc care for baby or...

    dawngloves replied to webbiedebbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    dawngloves posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

  21. parent's question

    dawngloves replied to missNV's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't pretty it up. I've seen so many docs and nurses do that and then the parents are always so surprised when the baby takes a turn for the worse or dies. I tell them that they may, they are very...
