  1. Improper intubation

    MIcrunchyRN replied to lmc512's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I only speak from experience of having my children, not from experiance as a nurse because my experience is quite limited still... But in a C/S they pump you full of fluids normally, then during her...

    MIcrunchyRN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing
