At the top of the neonatal discussion page is a sticky note that reads "start here important". The first link on that post is a reading list.

Enjoy!

Thanks a bunch! I am not new to the NICU but new to the RN role and I am a person that wants to know the whys and whynots, not just that that's how it's done! We have a lot of nurses that I work with that cannot tell me a good explanation for why we do certain things with certain babies other than that's how that particular neo wants it done. I'm not satisfied with that answer. Any help I can find is appreciated! :)
