NICU Nerd Attack!
Thank you so much for such a great response!! I can't wait to start reading. I've been having to split my time between preparing for my job and preparing for the NCLEX...so I'm ready to get the NCLEX out the way and start focusing on my passion!!

NICU Nerd Attack!
Hi! I have the 7th edition and am a new grad NICU nurse. I start orientation in a few weeks and have had the book for months but haven't opened it...I don't know where to start! Any pointers? Certain chapters I should read before hand or anything like that? I saw you said you have every edition...are there a lot of changes? Is it worth it for me to purchase the 8th edition?? I haven't looked at the 7th yet! LOL

Preceptorship in NICU
Hello everyone! I will be starting my senior practicum in a Level III NICU this week! I'm so excited as I feel that NICU nursing is my calling! I'm hoping they will offer me a position after graduation (in May). I purchased the Merenstein & Gardner book...but haven't read anything yet. Is there anything in particular you guys think I should review before beginning my preceptorship!? I want to be prepared...but there's so much information, I don't know where to start!

Nurse-Run Child Care
Definitely no nursing care. Just nurses watching kids outside of their part time nursing jobs. A lot of us find a hard time trusting someone to watch our kids and we feel that a nurse-run daycare would do well. We do not hire nurses but child care workers who happen to be nurses wanting to make some extra money outside of their nursing jobs. Make sense?? So I'm going for a name that kind of signals, hey your kids are safe here, we are nurses...Not bring your kids here when they are sick cause we will help. Just a regular daycare but I feel that it would be more trusted than just your average child care center...And we would also be sure to accommodate nursing shift hours...so run by nurses for nurses!

Nurse-Run Child Care
Hey everyone! I need to borrow your creative minds for a minute! I am interested in opening up a Child Care Center with a couple of my nurse friends/family. I need your help coming up for a clever name. We are all RNs...so I'm trying to incorporate that into the name of the center. Thanks so much!!
