    JVanRN replied to greensleeves's topic in Men in Nursing

    JVanRN replied to camay1221_RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Pit to distress?" I'm NICU not L+D...but that doesn't even make sense to me. Last time I knew fetal distress was something you wanted to avoid. What is his logic for that I wonder...Good thing the...

    JVanRN replied to cmorriscat's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  13. Can new grads get a 7a-3p shift?

    JVanRN replied to akissbytheseine's topic in General Nursing

    JVanRN replied to akissbytheseine's topic in General Nursing

    JVanRN replied to sstromberg's topic in First Year After Licensure

    JVanRN replied to JVanRN's topic in Ob/Gyn
