    confettireads replied to brandi2007's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    These are great responses, brandi2007! Not a student anymore, but I sure wish I knew this all before starting nursing school. I wish you best of luck in your nursing studies and future NICU career!...

    Operating Room Nurse: Roles

    confettireads replied to BethCNOR's topic in Operating Room

    chief76, good luck to you as well! You should also join AORN with a student membership, or wait until you are a full-fledged OR nurse. I checked the AORN website, and it looks like they have a...

    Any good "nurse" shows on tv? Netflix?

    confettireads replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Call The Midwife. Though, I've tried to finish the series several times already and I keep dropping it around the time Chummy returns from Africa. Maybe I should just read the book

    Is it possible to work and go to school at same time?

    confettireads replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
