    Temperature methods in preterm babies

    adventure_rn replied to PAjama_Mama's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Same as above. We do one single rectal temp immediately after birth to check for patency; after that it's 100% axillary. Axillary temps are accurate enough for our purposes, primarily assessing...

    Got an offer should I take it?

    adventure_rn replied to GaylordFoker's topic in Nursing Informatics

    You may be able to do the informatics job later on. I know you called it a long shot, but if you already have some experience, it seems like you could transition into that field down the line at a...

    Still in school - What can I do now to be a better candidate as a new grad?

    adventure_rn replied to studentnurse711's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Join AWHONN. Most professional organizations have a substantially discounted rate for students. Not only will it look good on your resume, but try to attend local chapter meetings if you can and...

    Littmann all the way!!! Throughout school in the 2010s I used my dad's Littmann from when we went to med school!! In the 80s!! At 30 years old, that scope still sounds better than a lot of my...

    Curious about nursing in remote villages in Alaska

    adventure_rn replied to ambr46's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, cool! Sounds like my kind of adventure! I can't personally speak to the accommodations and amenities in rural Alaska, but my favorite professor in nursing school spent some time doing peds...

    Gender bias

    adventure_rn replied to Zooey72's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sad but true. In spite of the fact that you likely deserve to get in, you may still be propped up as a token male. Reminds me of my minority friends who went to med school; more often than not, they...

    Do you wear a back brace?

    adventure_rn replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    Yaaassss! I've got this inexpensive little Asian place that gives me a discount as a hospital employee. They've developed a plan especially for me to do my hands, feet, and back only--aka, the Nurse...

    Yikes, that sounds like the valet. Or maybe a cater waiter. Meanwhile, these suckers look like 'sexy nurse' gone

    Do you wear a back brace?

    adventure_rn replied to noelly10's topic in General Nursing

    Holy smokes, do I love doing stretches after a 12. I'm not deep into yoga, but there are a couple of moves that I found make me feel infinitely better. Now when I get home, I lay down in bed and just...

    This is one of the awesomest, geekiest things I've heard on AN.

    adventure_rn replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Just had the very amusing thought: on the other side of the camera, there could very well be a grossed out L&D nurse putting on her nursing poker face and thinking 'Non-judgment...just smile and...

    What exactly does that look like? 'But I don't think you understand that I actually am the specialist and the crustiest and the oldest and the battiest.' Sounds like the crusty old velociraptor...

    adventure_rn replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    I bartended at a party hostel in another country to get a free bed for six months. Seriously the most fun I've ever had in my life!! And you get to dance behind the bar while mixing drinks. I probably...

    adventure_rn replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yeah, I think they need an infection control consult. I actually took at look at the parent blog when I came across this image (don't ask how/why). Apparently that placenta had been deep frozen until...

    Pediatric cancer patient marries "the man of her dreams"...her nurse.

    adventure_rn replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    Creepy? C'mon, she's 4. It isn't about the nurse or the crush, it's about the wedding. Preschoolers aren't aware or hormonal enough to have actual crushes. It's all about the wedding, not the groom....
