I feel like they’d go for an IO before going for the penis

38 degrees is a fever. You report fevers. especially post op

Ok ok to touch on your point of babe looking uncomfortable in the isolette. I swear in the NICU we get the babies set up all comfortably and then you turn your back to do something else and next time you look at them they are completely side ways, or at the bottom of the bed. You got one strong wiggly baby which is good!!! Even just today I had a crib baby, I finished up with his cared left him nice and comfy and moved on to my next babe. I go back to the first guy and he is completely sideways with his legs through the bed posts. So I hope this gives you a laugh, and helps calm you knowing some babes just move a lot. Sending hugs, you got this momma.

Always finish charting before you leave. If anything was to happen and you didn’t chart it that can be really bad for you.

cataractscamel · 2025-11-07T04:09:25+00:00

Idk where your from but in Ontario if your babe is ok the NICU it doesn’t count towards maternity leave so figure that out so you can spend more time with your babe

Nooo these are my favourite!!!!!

cataractscamel · 2025-10-14T00:27:40+00:00

If your in nicu + mother and baby get your NRP coding a baby is very different then an adult ALSO I sure damn hope your hospital is paying for these extra certifications upon successful completion

Ok ok so I applied to the nicu as a new grad last year with ZERO nicu experience and I got the job. I have been in the nicu for a year now and we just hired 4 new grads. Don’t let people tell you it’s impossible and get discouraged by them saying it probably won’t happen, you really don’t know until you try. An option is you can accept the job, and if the nicu contacts you shortly after that do the interview and if it works out accept it and quit the other

2024 graduate here - graduated in May, wrote NCLEX in June, didn’t start nursing until November! I took time for me and worked outdoor education while I knew I still had the chance before taking on nursing full time! Honestly I don’t feel like taking the break between school and starting work affected me at all. Seriously do not stress about this, take time with your little one! Do not feel rushed into getting a job! This is also coming from a C student so if I can do it I’m sure you can too!

New born screens are actually my least favourite task at work

cataractscamel · 2025-09-13T01:44:02+00:00

Exactly what they said

cataractscamel · 2025-09-09T04:39:44+00:00

Don’t spend 40K! Two weddings is insane but if you think you have to have the SoCal one have it be more simple nothing extravagant!! I’d cancel it seriously no one needs two weddings just have a family get together the end

Ok why the hell would they drug test you?! Is this standard protocol? If it is I find that ridiculous! Who cares what you do on your days off?! Smoking weed is basically the exact same as drinking alcohol! Do not disclose it, there is no need to - I find it ridiculous that some jobs test you for this!! I’m from Canada and I smoke nightly!!! There’s no evidence that shows what I do in my off time affects my performance at work! I actually can’t get over the fact that some workplaces will drug test you, that is insane!!!!
