    MishlB replied to leisa22's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. methadone effects on newborns

    MishlB replied to hannahphn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  10. Why are Hospitals so darn mean when someone fails the NCLEX?

    MishlB replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    MishlB replied to nurse_leeny's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    MishlB replied to cmorriscat's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  24. When "do no harm" meets parental denial

    MishlB replied to BlueYYsRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    It's so sad...but not only the micropremies. How about rescusitating for over 15 minutes to get a HR? Flat EEG's, no head growth, seizures. Since he "looks" normal, he must be OK, right???? WRONG!...
