re: NICU nurse vent

Quoting MissVeronyka™:“ I had a bad experience as well with a NICU nurse when my twins were in the NICU. One day I went in and ... [snip!] ... and believe it or not, another nurse had saw what she had done and was a witness and this nurse ended up getting fired! GOOD!”

That shoulda went in the trash!!! That is so gross! Those hospitals have plenty of pacifiers they could have tossed it!

hey honey....you did the right thing. Good job momma!

Im sorry it happened though. Just stimulate her until they come back up. the alarms may stay on but get her stats back up. Now when it gets closer to her going home she has to be able to bring her back on her own...but now you just do what you gotta do to get those stats back up

Thanks Mama! How is Sarah doing? Well she does have frequent desats, and they did tell me thats one of the reasons, actually the only reason she hasn't been moved to a level 2 nicu yet, most of the time she comes back up on her own, but its that little time that she doesn't that keeps her there, and I know they won't let her come home until she does start doing it on her own all the time. They told me that even though its not considered a spell, when it comes to them coming home, it is considered one.

i was told that when it comes to them going home....as long as it's not an apnea and they are doing otherwise well they can go. Sarah did it every time i fed her....she still does sometimes. She may need a sleep study and need to go home on an apnea monitor. Either way....you don't want that kind of stuff to happen at home so be glad they are keeping you where you are

The hospital Anya is at, won't let them go home until they stop having desats, they don't like to send babies home on the monitors. My other daughter went home on one and I was hoping Anya would go home on one too, but no such luck. I'm already going to be watching every move she makes when she is sleeping, ill be so nervous, but I am sure once she is home, I won't be so bad.

i think we've all had our share of bad moments in the nicu.. whether it was the dr, respiratory therapist, nurses!! we're just so sensitive when it comes to our little one that that's something they dont understand! i'm so glad you reported the nurse though.. she needs to get it togetherasap!!!

Quoting Tara - Anya's mommy:“ Last night, we were in the NICU and my husband was holding Anya, well she had fallen asleep, and all ... [snip!] ... her what happened, and she read all the notes from last night, no more episodes like that and she has had a good day so far.”

Oh god...
