   Wow! Some of you have huge units!

2. What do you have?

   babynrsrn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm just wondering what your OB unit is like. We renovated ours a couple of years ago and we have LDRP's now. What do you have in the hospital you work at?

8. Pinning ceremony, now that you're an RN, was it worth it?

   babynrsrn replied to Halinja's topic in General Nursing

   I really enjoyed my pinning ceremony. We did fundraising all year for it and we didn't have to pay any out of pocket for it. We could wear anything that we wanted to. Didnt' have to wear the white scrubs. And my four year old daughter and husband...
