Didn't get any procedures last night?

Get a couple of UACs and intubations of 1000 g babies and you'll be happier!

On the other hand, 10 phone calls about babies with 2 cc residuals after 30 cc feeds and you're ready to hang it up.

By the way, NICU is one of the relatively few fields I know where attendings (even "oldbear professors" still take in-house night call - so we have some idea of what it's like for the residents and fellows.

Hey Thanks, fortunately, I was only cross-covering the NICU. I don't start there for real until later this year. No procedures but did have 1 case of "Baby won't ventilate/oxygenate" and one case of "baby has no (well, few) red cells"

you should look at the peds programs who didn't fill last year (you can find this on scutwork.com) and contact programs that you may be interested inindividually to see if they would take you mid year.

Look in peds journals, sometimes they have adds in the back for position. You could also ask the program director at your local residency program if they know of any short handed programs

Procedures and NICU crises may be great for getting the adrenaline flowing but they don't substitute for sleep--sorry! As an upper level who finished a recent call with tons of procedures (Did we tap the entire NICU? Just how many infants did I intubate I think I lost count?) I didn't exactly refreshed merely needing to take a nap before braving the drive home after being up for 34 hours and at the hospital for 32. I have since slept and see the beauty in life and medicine again.

As far as residuals I completely agree---but my true pet peeve is nurses who insist they must check residuals on infants on continuous drips.
