  1. Pajamas

    Jolie replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Jolie replied to KathyBannRN's topic in Florida Nursing

  6. Single-payer advocates disrupt Senate Finance Committee.

    Jolie replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The irony is that the party which these advocates have supported and trusted is ignoring them. Perhaps they would be better off cozying up to Repbulicans. They certainly couldn't be any worse off....

    Jolie replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

  12. Twins sleeping schedule

    Jolie replied to Moondance's topic in Pediatric

    I would not awaken a normal, healthy, term newborn for a night-time feeding. Night-time sleeping is the goal. It sounds like this new mother wants to rigidly keep her babies on the same schedule,...
