I will look into STABLE :) I know I'm taking the class soon along with NRP. I believe I'm taking NRP first. Good to know, I will try to focus on home when I'm home. I have a 4 month old, so I love spending time with her when I'm here. :)
Thank you SO much for your perspective! :) I do love how specialized it is and I'm so glad that I'm starting off in the NICU as a new grad. One day I hope to be that experience nurse that knows absolutely everything about neonates that can be a prece...
