Our poor little darling had the NGT reinserted every day or so as he kept pulling it out. he obviously hated it. I (his mum)was a nervous reck watching it being inserted – only throught the camera lense could i find a little detachment which was a relief when the special care journey is so emotionally draining – the long nails of the nurse so close to my little one was scaring the hell out of me , though i was trying to be nice about it & was nervously talking way too much….. he’s approx 2 …

i was so worried that the nuse was going to stab the baby when she put the scissors close to his face! God Bless!
She should have cut her nails before doing that
poor baby
The preemie NG tubes are so thin and tiny and the tape is so little compared to NG tubes for full term newborns. Full term NG tubes are bigger, and the tape looks ugly when its put across the term newborns nose and cheek. But it has to be firmly in place for full term newborns in order for the NG rube 2 stay in place properly. Without a cpap/vent/nasal cannula Its a tube that is in way of you seeing your full term babies nose or face properly when you want to take a nice picture of there face.
Cannot believe the nurse has long nails
poor little guy hes adorable
I agree the nurses nails were way 2 long!
omg! he didn’t even cry. when my sister had the g tube stuck up her nose she yelped, screamed, choked, gagged and stuff. I started crying myself. well, my sis is 4 so she can understand there’s a tube going down her throat. that was a quick insertion it took the nurse three times the time to get it down.
that bitch nurse is hurting the baby, as stated her nails are
way too long.
This was a good NG tube insertion, but her nails were WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TOO LONG.
usa i guanti o almeno lava le mani e taglia le unghie !
gosh her nail was hurting the baby… i think so…
i cant believe what i have just watched!
im no nurse or doctor but she looked like she was struggling with those nails to do what needed to be done and hasnt she heard of germs! plus i agree she was quite rough and lucky the baby didnt get scratched..poor little thing..hope he is doing ok. I have 3 kids and i know what it feels like to not want to rock the boat with staff, . He looks like such a sweetheart. All the best
As a nurse she is not suppose to have long nails (trap bacteria) let alone acrylic ones. Who is her charge nurse? UGH! that is disgusting (her nails). your baby is so sweet! I wish him all the best
Also the scissors can be dangerous Ive heard reports of nurses cuttign babies lips in the NICU with the scissors and almsot cuttting fingers off when removing tape, one toddler got his tip of a fingr lopped of by a nurse check it out udner neonatal doc at blogspot
They found out that the adhesive stuff (sticky stuff) that keeps the acrylic nails on carries the germs that can spread from one preemie to the next this happened in a NICU where the NICU nurses wore acrylic nails and many preemies died.
thats a NG tube it goes to their esophagus not to their trachea. It wont block the airway since NG tube is a feeding tube thats why it goes directly to the esophagus…
Im an RT
OMG you should have reported this nurse! I’m in nursing school and even though it looks like it hurts, it ok. We can’t use lube because it will clog his nostrils and since newborns are nose breathers it makes it even harder for them to breathe. The only thing I TOTALLY disagree with is the fact that she has acrylic nails on!!! I can’t even have those for SCHOOL much less working as an RN….AND what the heck was she doing with sharp scissors around your baby’s face?? I hope your baby is ok!
In what NICU do they let the nurses have nails like that???? OMChrist!!! Im glad your little one is ok!
They set the tube right on your babies hand. Of course he’d pull it out if he even just moves his hand. He’s such a sweet baby though!
I had to watch them doing this to my mom in the hospital using this pacifier thing jammed into her nose to widen the opening. She was on blood thinners. The tube made lacerations down her windpipe and lungs which blood pool and gave her pneumonitis.
My thoughts exactly! The nails because of the scratch factor, but also the amount of microorganisms that get a free ride underneath them.
But, oh my gosh is your son a cutie! So adorable.
LOL Yes, I’d like to wrap the tubing around the nurses neck too
My Dad had to have a NGT this spring and I couldn’t believe how painful it was to have it put in and removed, even lubed up 
This makes me want to cry 
But I definitely can relate to Mama not wanting to rock the boat, it’s so scary having someone else take care of your helpless little one 
DId anyone bring this to the Nursing Supervisor for review?
If she did this to this tiny preemie, just think what she might
to do the next baby under her care? So rock the boat
so another baby does not have to endure this procedure
done so carelessly, could lead to more problems for a new
baby.
As a nurse myself I am horrified at her technique. No gloves?! Long nails?! No lubricating the tube? Awful!
Very poor technique. I would use it to point out all the things that I would not want my nursing students to do.
