  3. Would you have called?

    jeepgirl replied to jeepgirl's topic in Pediatric

    That's what one would think, eh? :-) He was okay in the end. After 3 hours of hot packing, raising it up, etc, he started to use it to grab at his bear, wipe away tears, and he started to dooze off...

  4. Lotus Birth...What do yall think about this?

    jeepgirl replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    jeepgirl replied to Betty_SPN_KS's topic in General Nursing
