  1. NP Dilemma

    LauRN3367 replied to NPdilema's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  5. Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    LauRN3367 replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

  12. Pregnant new grad

    LauRN3367 replied to emilyrose114's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely let your new manager know about your pregnancy. CONGRATS! Though I did not do it, I think new grad to ICU is manageable. As a new grad, you are very malleable. It is all about your...

    LauRN3367 replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation
