  1. Transition to specialty practice courses.

    Sun*shine replied to Sun*shine's topic in International Nursing

  2. Your nurse? Yes, they're drowning under paperwork somewhere...

    Sun*shine posted a topic in International Nursing

    This topic has probably been touched upon before. But the sheer volume of paperwork on our unit is really getting me down. And it's getting worse, I've been off for two weeks and come back to even...

    Sun*shine replied to APRN.'s topic in MICU, SICU

  8. Job Interview!!

    Sun*shine replied to Meg2000's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Sun*shine replied to Jenze's topic in International Nursing

  14. Applying for a neonatal icu post

    Sun*shine replied to nurz-rach's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Just out of interest, do neonatal interviews often ask questions regarding care of the neonate? My biggest concern about my interview is that they'll ask me something along these lines and I won't...

  18. Is this the best decision?

    Sun*shine replied to narcissus's topic in NICU, Neonatal
