  1. But I have little kids!

    mother/babyRN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

  2. Dealing with doctors.....

    mother/babyRN replied to fourbirds4me's topic in Ob/Gyn

  6. Lotus births.

    mother/babyRN replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It isn't a ridiculous thread..It is turning out to be quite humorous and I haven't found anyone here belittling any cultural beliefs. I think we are all aware of them and try to respect them...This is...

    mother/babyRN replied to babs_rn's topic in General Nursing

  18. Coworker was fired yesterday.

    mother/babyRN replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing
