I’m joining Team and I’m so excited to share how amazing their vein light is! As a NICU nurse trained in neonatal PICC insertions, I’ve been searching for a high-quality transilluminator that will not only help me find veins unseen with the naked eye, but also to facilitate central line insertion. The FireFly Vein Light won me over quickly because of how easy it is to hold, its light quality, its long battery life (I can go OVER month between charges), and my ability to maintain sterile technique by popping it into a sterile glove for safekeeping during PICC insertions.

❤️ dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) occurs when the aorta arises from the right ventricle (instead of the left ventricle) and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle (instead of the right ventricle).

🩵 Parallel circulations exist with TGA. A shunt — in the way of a ventricular septal defect and/or ductus arteriosus — is essential for mixing oxygenated and deoxygenated blood for survival.

❄️ Seems like a lot of us are about to get pummeled by a winter storm, so let’s talk about what your hospitals do for staff who have to come into work in bad weather! Do you get bonus pay? Free food? A headache? Nothing at all?

Unfortunately, mine’s perpetually in the nothing at all camp, even despite a state of emergency, and even though I really like working there it’s the biggest drawback for me 🫠.

I received a request a couple of weeks ago for a post on Replogle tubes, which I’m sharing today. And I think that I jinxed myself as I was creating the content for this because I somehow ended up with multiple patients with Replogle tubes after I scheduled this post!

What questions do you have about Replogle tubes?

As a NICU nurse, I’ve always been aware of the devastation that HIE can cause babies and families, as well as grateful for the hope that therapeutic hypothermia has brought for babies with HIE… but this time last year I experienced that on a far more personal level.

One year ago today, my niece and HIE warrior Ava, was born by emergency C-section performed after placental abruption. She was diagnosed with HIE, and subsequently treated with therapeutic hypothermia. She defies the odds every day. Happy birthday, sweet Super Ava 💜.
