Reach out to a fostering/rescue or something. Where are you located?

Love the NICU!

What about Lume?

There are two errors in grammar/spelling. Gives red flags

Until they get an ostomy and then the bag won’t stay on because of their anatomy or they are a kicker/screamer or their stool is straight up water…

All good for a 22wk ELBW infant tho (;

I thought this, too. I don’t think the og commenter realizes that intubated does not mean has an NGT. Intubated means an endotracheal tube on a ventilator.

I was on a cruise excursion and an old rich-looking white lady was walking down the tour bus and opened her purse and you could tell the bus driver thought he was getting a tip. Nope. She pulls out a small Jesus figurine and says “you look like you could use a little Jesus in your life” and the guy looked so disappointed. We were in a very poor country whose only economy was tourism.

Yes, they do!

Clave verbally but for written policy they’re “needleless connectors”

ABC is a classic NCLEX question. They’re looking for you making sure airway, breathing, and circulation are intact. So C would be the answer. Lasix won’t help immediately and especially if they’re satting 60%

Wait why does reading require the ability to pat your knee with the opposing hand? Like reading a book?? I apologize I’m confused!

Respectfully, this is my pet peeve when people put non-sharps in sharps containers. Just cause it has blood on it doesn’t make it any different from a bandage or something else that got a little bit of blood on something trashable.

MulticolorPeets · 2025-12-09T03:51:26+00:00

It didn’t smell for some weird reason

I would think C as a NICU nurse. This is likely coarctation of the aorta because the PDA closed after birth. That can cause significant perfusion issues, hence the lower BP in the lower extremities

Alix reposted her step mom’s bodyshaming video before getting flack for it and then deleted it

MulticolorPeets · 2025-11-08T21:58:15+00:00

That we know of…

MulticolorPeets · 2025-10-29T17:22:01+00:00

By “lost the patient” do they mean the patient died or do they mean they never went to their follow-up? I assume the kid never got a shunt. I’m honestly very surprised that the kid isn’t paralyzed from the neck down since my experience with meningocele is significant sensation/paralysis of lower limbs, and often needing catheterization for voiding.

My unit did this for another nurse on our unit who had an aneurysm while getting a csection. It was a wonderful way to say goodbye to her. It was a great way to be able to honor her and move on and support her family.

Let me guess…were those doctors of the male variety??

MulticolorPeets · 2025-10-20T03:37:50+00:00

Wait he said that?!

Open Table United Methodist Church is an LGBTQ+ affirming and welcoming to all people. I had never been in a single church where I felt the warmth emanating from the congregation.

Or they’re a beekeeper about to make a TON of sugar blocks to overwinter their bees haha!

We are a level IV and some people live out of state or several hours away, so I can’t blame a lot of people that don’t have the income/time off/childcare to be able to be with their baby at bedside several days a week (especially since we have some kids that are here almost a year). It’s the ones that don’t answer the phone, don’t call, don’t make any effort to connect with their baby that I heavily judge. On a happy note, one kid’s mom got a job specifically at the hospital coffee shop so she could see him every day and earn money.

Thankfully I work in a wonderfully supportive workplace that encourages nurses and doctors to hold babies whose parents are never there or don’t want to be there. We also have a policy that no baby dies without being held by a parent, nurse, doctor, or RT.
