   Trimming of Neonatal Fingernails

   ldh replied to ldh's topic in NICU, Neonatal

   Flight Nurse vs Flight Paramedic

   ldh replied to FlyMurse's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

   Umm, I don't think that FlyingScot meant to say that one team member was "in charge" of another - in fact the coordinator said that RNs and medics work better as a team, not as part of a hierarchical...
