    jennylee321 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If isolettes are the only bed you have that provides temp control then yes. If I had an overbed that would be my first choice, but I guess with that option you get the worry of the overbed melting the...

  6. I hate this

    jennylee321 replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Nursing

    I mean if there is no part time line on your unit at the moment there isn't much your employer can do. Did you originally sign on for a full time contract and have asked to be switched to part time?...

  14. New to NICU & Nursing!

    jennylee321 replied to Nurse0322's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Look for NICU info online that is aimed at parents, this would be a nice way to ease yourself into the lingo and for the typical prem stuff, before diving into the complexities of a neonatal textbook....

  15. New Grad, how many portfolios?

    jennylee321 replied to anflores23's topic in General Nursing

  20. Turning babies Every 2 hours?

    jennylee321 replied to TeenyTinyBabyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This is insanity, I would hope that the senior nursing leaders in your unit would block this from being implemented as it makes no sense for your population. Your the only unit in the hospital that...

    jennylee321 replied to LPNRN2000's topic in General Nursing

  23. Seeking Guidance

    jennylee321 replied to Raquel.Perez's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Med surg experience is really not that helpful to becoming a NICU nurse. A med surg nurse needs the same length of orientation as a new grad. So if hold out for a NICU position (not forever but for a...

  24. Discharge after weaning to Crib

    jennylee321 replied to JThieman's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Again this would be very dependent on the baby. If it's an ex 23-33 weeker they would really be out of there incubator for far longer than 48 hrs right? The incubator wouldn't be there last challenge,...

  25. Why is it difficult to transition from nursing student to working Nurse?

    jennylee321 replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in General Nursing
