    Any 22 weekers out there?

    Wuzzie replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't disagree with you that the families suffer unimaginably and that egos and the media think little of the long term but your vitriol, laser-focused on all things NICU, is a little much,...

    Wuzzie replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Oh but it is for a time. Our shift might end but we go back day after day, year after year knowing damn well that the decisions made by OTHER people are risking a lifetime of suffering for these...

    Any 22 weekers out there?

    Wuzzie replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This I could totally get on board with. That was my beef with the other poster. Like so many aspects of nursing we have zero authority and all the responsibility for dealing with the messes other...

    Any 22 weekers out there?

    Wuzzie replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Having a balanced perspective is a good thing but it still doesn't give us any power over the decisions that are being made. You are very correct in that parents will hear what they want to hear and...

    Wuzzie replied to mauigal's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I don't know why you are being so harsh on the NICU nurses. They are not the ones who control the decision making. And yes...families DO have a choice. Instead of paying more heed to Hollywood they...

    PICC line dressing changes difficulty

    Wuzzie replied to Gyh's topic in General Nursing

    I read it as it was 4-5cm further out than originally placed (ie: 4 cm original external measurement now 9 cm external) in which case that would indeed be a

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Wuzzie replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you can have an opinion but you need to have the cred to back it up. I'm not sure you really know what is involved in an ADN program and you managed to poke the bear that is the...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Wuzzie replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Lou, I don't disagree with you regarding a good number of RN-BSN programs but man you are all over the place and it's hard to follow. You keep changing the programs you are talking about. You compared...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    Wuzzie replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    But you weren't talking about chemistry degrees. You were comparing BSN to ADN programs (which you never attended so you don't really know)and it's not a matter of me liking it or not you are still...

    PICC line dressing changes difficulty

    Wuzzie replied to Gyh's topic in General Nursing

    There should not be that much drainage from a PICC line site. It's more likely it got wet bathing/showering. If it truly is exudate that line needs pulled. Also, never use gauze under a Tegaderm...

    Nurse asks, 'Did you know I was there?' in touching viral post

    Wuzzie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Thank you for posting this. What I love about it is, unlike the usual overly emotional, saccharine and self-sacrificial (barf) descriptions of what it’s like to be a nurse this one hits home on what...

    Critical care patients in emergency room

    Critical care patients in emergency room

    Wuzzie replied to diane e's topic in General Nursing

    Not uncommon when I worked ED. I'd have a critical patient and 2-3 stable patients. Not ideal but we made it work and all the patients got good care. Is she still on
