Just checking in with you to see how the program is going. I am really interested in it. Any updates and information would be appreciated! Thanks!

I am seriously considering this program (Care coordination) Do you still like it? Any additional information you have would be appreciated!

Some of life's greatest lessons are learned from the littlest ones: Lying under radiant heat, hooked to machines, wires, and tubes; fine thin hair covers your small vulnerable body. You struggle for each breath you take. I look at you and marvel at y...

I wrote this to share with an upcoming graduate class and thought I would share it here with you all as well! Good luck as you graduate and start your new career! 5 things you need to know as you graduate nursing school: -You don't know what you don'...

Hi I know this post is somewhat old- but I thought I would reply. how is/did the program go for you? Would you suggest it? Was it expensive? I am looking into the RN to BSN online neonatal specialty course. I'm really interested but apprehensive too...

Actually, yes that is what I am saying. I really don't think it is safe!! I am trying to find out if other small units in the country are run this way...I hate to say it but I don't think that they are. Back up is critical and I feel I don't have i...

We don't have surgical patients- they are shipped out. But yes, all the rest. Our NICU has patients from 26wks-term

I work on a small level 3 unit of 16 beds. We have 1 NNP on 24/7- available if and when we need her. We have a Neo that is on "call" if we need him. He is there usually a couple of hours in the day, does rounds and then is off campus. As far as delev...
