  1. Slow flow nipple?

    itsybitsy replied to RNLAC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We typically don't feed on high flow. We regularly feed on low flow as long as that's the only issue. We don't feed if respirations are greater than 70

  2. Slow flow nipple?

    itsybitsy replied to RNLAC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Slow flow nipples are not all that?? What is that suppose to mean? That they don't work or what? If you're trying to say the practice is being outdated, you're sorely mistaken. Slow flow nipples are...

  3. Slow flow nipple?

    itsybitsy replied to RNLAC's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm sorry, but this is so wrong. This is just asking for aversion after aversion. "Spilling milk out of her mouth" is anterior loss. It's showing that the baby is not tolerating the flow of the...

  4. Thinking about getting a gun for safety

    itsybitsy replied to MotoRN34's topic in Home Health

    I would do whatever you feel is right for you. Whether that be having a concealed carry or not. Whether you want to leave it in your car or carry it on your person. I understand you when you relay...

  7. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    As requested, I'll stick to the topic at hand. I think as a group, we have concluded that the CDC banned the words, not President Trump. I see the title has changed to "per White House", which is...

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Twice I have been berated because I apparently said "Christian terrorists don't exist". I didn't say that, the opposite is true. So here it is, in big bold letters, what I said. Maybe read the posts...

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Sorry, I must have been exhausted trying to keep up with all the posts. Don't get your panties in a wad, I'll respond now. It's hard being the only one on the right against so many who are vehemently...

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    You are living under a rock if you think this is the first instance of this happening. It's not. It won't be the last. It's probably the first time it has gotten airtime, because it's Donald Trump....

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    I don't have a bias for anything. I have my own viewpoints. I don't know what you think I downplayed. I stated my opinion on the matters presented and provided rationales for everything on why I think...

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    You keep saying this without anything to back up your statements. (I replied to your link below, still doesn't back anything up.) I don't have a "thing" for President Trump, he is my President,...

  15. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    What exactly has he attacked from the organizations? The CDC has come out saying that President Trump did not ask for these words to be banned, censor, or otherwise avoided. That it was the CDC...

  16. CDC now banned from using "evidence based" and other words per White House

    itsybitsy replied to babyNP.'s topic in Nursing News

    Wow. Simple-minded conservative ideologues? So because we can't be outraged that President Trump banned words, because he didn't, and had no part in making the decision for the CDC to censor itself in...

  17. Discharge after weaning to Crib

    itsybitsy replied to JThieman's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Whoa, you went DOWN to 74F?! We only go to 28C (~82F), for at least 24 hours. We can go lower if the baby is hot, but if not, we leave it at 28C. We also start weaning at 33 weeks and about 4 pounds....

  18. Working Holidays? 5 Ways to Make It Work for You

    itsybitsy replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever someone is like this, I usually think they need to get off their high horse and stop acting like everybody needs to be as cheerful as themselves. I don't believe you or I have to be a grouch,...

  22. NIMV settings question

    itsybitsy replied to Ladybug777's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I might add to my statement that if a PIP is higher than the PS + PEEP, it may read that because the baby took a larger breath. The ventilator wouldn't give the baby a higher PIP, only the baby would...

  23. NIMV settings question

    itsybitsy replied to Ladybug777's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Correct me if I'm wrong but pressure control doesn't mean the PIP can't go any higher than the set pressure support + PEEP. This is what I interpret what you are saying... The PIP can go higher than...
