  1. Has anyone gone from L&D to NICU or viceversa?

    mnbrn replied to Shanlee79's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think things happen for a reason. See what doors open to you, and what your gut says. I was lucky, a NICU was hiring a few new grads, and gave us special course work and unit training. Later, I...

    mnbrn replied to Shanlee79's topic in Ob/Gyn

  10. Couplet Care?

    mnbrn replied to mnbrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    So, if you have a baby at the desk, and a call light goes off with no one to watch the baby you're with, what do you do? Do you take baby back to mom and say "sorry, I'm being called by another pt,...
