There are a few books out there... I found a book called "Saul", a book written from a preemie's perspective. It was pretty good...... Check out the recommended reading post at the top of the forum...

Steve--"Saul" sounds good. Who is the author?

I start working as a new grad RN in the NICU next month and am always on the lookout for something new to read--as long as I won't be tested on it, LOL ;)

I really can't remember offhand.... Look in the book thread at the top of the page.... I think it was a Gompers post.

Somebody on this site, possibly Gompers, reccommended a book called "Born too Soon" by Elizabeth Mehren. I went to Border's yesterday to see if they had it and they said only online so I think I'll be doing that.

I never did say thank you . . . so thanks :)

I found out the author of "Saul" is Rosemary Kay for all interested parties ;)
