8. NICU Nurses Questions,

   MCHnurse replied to CaringT's topic in Government, Military

   That is crazy! Well we know where she could request to go if she wants to work NICU. Apparently the detailer I spoke to was *not* talking about Germany. Thanks for sharing...that means good...

9. NICU Nurses Questions,

   MCHnurse replied to CaringT's topic in Government, Military
