   Sylv replied to JadeRN7's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I was told years ago as an LPN student, during nursery rotation, that the charge nurse said I acted as if I was totally uninterested in the babies. Totally unfair!! Who doesn't love babies? Interesting thing, a couple of years later I bought a sew...
