I do agree with Jolie but any extra help that fellow nurses can provide may prove to be invaluable. The administrators/instructors at your school should provide you with some type of extra...

Although it may seem mundane, repetitive & incredibly stupid, we are taught to document EVERYTHING! This includes any teaching &/or training given to a new mother, etc... So you may find...
