   jennylee321 replied to deweydecimal13501's topic in NICU

   28 days but as said above you should also find out what manufacturer says some tubes are marketed for longer term use

2. sposue/partner present during labor and delivery

   jennylee321 replied to kevinm23's topic in Ob/Gyn

   No you can't use the doula research because the outcomes such as less intervention and better breastfeeding outcomes have been proven specifically for doulas but not spouse/partner.

3. Any advice for a new grad trying to stay afloat?

   "We promise the staffing will get better". I wouldn't believe that until it actually starts happening.

6. As seen on TV

   jennylee321 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

   I know there was a big uproar among nurses when mcdreamy's ETT was only in at like 5cm

7. Bare bones staffing

   jennylee321 replied to smf0903's topic in Critical

   Even without codes to consider, how about nurses being able to take the breaks they are legally entitled to. So yes minimum of 2.

8. New Grads in the ICU

   jennylee321 replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical

   I feel like orientation plays a big factor in whether new grads are successful in critical care areas. Level 4 NICUs have been hiring new grads for years through children's hospital residencies. Because I had such a extensive orientation my transitio...

9. Can't find a JOB DONT EVER DO THE RPN PROGRAM IN CANADA

   jennylee321 replied to danothemano's topic in Canada

   You can get into a very negative way of thinking after applying to so many positions and not hearing back. I'm sure many people can relate to this feeling. But be careful, this was of thinking can spiral out of control and affect the way you are comi...

10. RN in London, Ontario

    jennylee321 replied to lkm812's topic in Canada

    To clarify wasn't saying there's no chance LHSC will hire you but because everything is centralised through HR if they denied your application at this first point, the same thing will keep happening. Glad to hear you got a job in LTC. Because LHSC is...

11. How to be better at teamwork (and still get your work done)

    jennylee321 replied to bbnurse17's topic in General Nursing

    I think most nurses have a pretty good sense of when other nurses are drowning. Whenever I'm super busy dealing with a decompensation or admission nearby nurses are typically either helping me or if they are too busy themselves, they have the courtes...

12. Seasoned nurses really affecting my self esteem as a newer nurse..need to vent?

    jennylee321 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    She needs to be held to a higher standard because she's the lead nurse, it isn't like she's just a peer so this behaviour needs to be addressed. There's a lot of nurses out there who love thinking they are god's gift to nursing. And only they can sav...

13. No one to talk to about nursing... Am I crazy?

    jennylee321 replied to EdenAndEve's topic in General Nursing

    I think when we see connections between the Krebs cycle and our practice, these are special moments that we keep to ourselves because no one else earned this special moment Hahaha I actually explained somethinh to a new staff recently and related it ...

14. NICU visitation policies needed

    jennylee321 replied to anicu's topic in NICU

    I don't think any non sibling children should be visiting, siblings only when their are childcare difficulties. It's difficult having small children in the NICU all the time and they spread germs like wildfire

15. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    jennylee321 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I work in baby land where we double check almost all medications but I imagine paralytic should be a mandatory double check.
