  2. RAM Cannula

    Harparia replied to juliachloe's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  4. NELRP is there a thread?

    Harparia replied to JudithL_in_NH's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks all, for the valuable information that you've shared. I just got off the phone this morning with customer service at the BRCS. The person I spoke with said that it is not enough to be just in a...

  5. Helping Parents- Looking for a Good Book

    Harparia replied to babyRN0404's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I stumbled across "Team Spectacular - Micro Preemie Power," by Scott Wright. It is a great webcomic (free) that you can also buy, in book form ($10). It doesn't give you any advice on how to help...

  6. My heart belongs to the Neonates and I need your help!

    Harparia replied to NICU1209's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You might want to consider attending one of the several NICU conferences that are held annually. They can be pricey, but I believe that nothing says, "I'm dedicated" more than spending your own money...

    Harparia replied to niculove's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  16. Nursing is not recession proof

    Harparia replied to Bluekitteh's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. We have 9 nursing schools in our area that crank out RNs every semester. The most recent new grad program had over 1600 applicants for about 30-40 positions, and they wont have...

  17. Rady Childrens or Sharp RN Residency

    Harparia replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    Harparia replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    The one month internal applicant period ended March 16th (It was posted on their website that they would only look at internal applicants for a month). I'm surprised to hear that they didn't hire...

    Harparia replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing
