  1. Increasing Parental Involvement/Satisfaction

    TJG618 replied to BittyBabyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  8. Curious: WHATS WITH THE CLOGS?

    TJG618 replied to EmergencyMedicine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  9. Child Abuse

    TJG618 replied to RainDreamer's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hi there! I'm pretty new to this forum but not to NICU and I couldn't help but post my own 2 cents... I was just asking our SW staff last week why moms who abuse drugs aren't charged with child abuse?...
