Education, Organisation & Evaluation

Hi everyone I am in my last course to finish my BSN and I need to find if any hospital or organization has a different model of nursing management than my current hospital. At my hospital each unit has a nurse manager, clinical nurse specialist and operations supervisot. The NM obviously manages and is responsible for the unit. The CNS is for education, training policy development or changes and can be a relief for NM when she is off. The clinical ops. takes care of time cards time monitoring sick time and vacation time and daily scheduling of unit coordinators. I am interested in seeing if anyone has a different structuring or innotive ideas. Please he…

Can anyone give suggestions on where I can find MCQ questions on neonatalogy for trainee medical staff? I would need about 50 questions, published or online. Thanks

Dear Colleagues, Its a common problem in NICU that due to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, we have to either discard the TPN or change the IVF mix. Its a huge loss to the hospitals. I made few formulas to change the dextrosity which I want to share with all of you. Send me mail so that I can send directly to you. manoj_potdar@yahoo.co.in

In many neonatal nursery IVF mix is made by adding sterile water and D 50%. Which is more costlier. We can make IVF mix by D10 and D50%. Formula-- General formula for any two solutions with different dextrosity= Total volume required= TV ml of solution containing higher dextrosity(HD%)= X ml ml of solution containing lower dextrosity(LD%)= TV- X ml Desired dextrosity= DD X ml = TV(DD-LD)/(HD-LD) ml of HD in TV ml of LD in TV = TV- X ml exp- Total volume required is 100 ml Desired dextrosity is 16% and we have D10 and D50% HD=50% LD= 10% ml of D 50 (X ml) = 100(DD-10)/(50-10) ml of D 50% ( X ml) =100(16-10)/40 ml …

I am writing a new policy for our unit regarding "Attendance of Neonatologist at Elective C Section ", IF any one can help me in making this policy or want to share your current hospital/unit policy regarding this issue, I will be greatful. Currently our practice is that we are attending all elective C Sections and the evidence is that a neonatologist need not to be present at the elective c section but can be approachable on contact. Thanks

This site: https://www.nicuniversity.org/ has some nice neonatology lectures. It is free to all. They expect a simple one time registration and then you can access all their contents. I found it most interesting.

There are some nice articles on neonatology topics in emedicine LINK Includes informative multimedia
