   HvnSntRN replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

9. (Not so) Daily Affirmations

   HvnSntRN replied to Bortaz's topic in NICU, Neonatal

14. Mother/Baby VENT!!!

    HvnSntRN replied to BaByNuRsE07's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My postpartum position was eliminated due to cutbacks and hiring LVNs. In hindsight, moving to the NICU was the best decision for me. Previously, it was routine to have 4 couplets, a couple of...
