   MIcrunchyRN replied to DarkHairedStudentCCC's topic in Hospice

   I pick up shifts in hospice and I"m young (23). LOL most think I'm a PCT but oh well lol it doesn't hurt my feelings. I think as a whole there is a lack of interest in hospice nursing amongst young nurses. But you also need the experience behind y...

7. Since we were talking about birth plans....

   MIcrunchyRN replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Its perfect... we did 1-2 hours of no interventions with baby. There was no issues at all. IF they wanted to do vitamin K etc or eye ointment they did it while I was holding baby. There were no issues with this at all. Do you have a birth plan ...

    MIcrunchyRN posted a topic in New Nurse
