    Why I think L&D nursing really is best and hardest

    BSNbeauty replied to lovemyjoblandd's topic in Ob/Gyn

    BSNbeauty replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    A little judgmental much? I think the OP meant there was no harm done, she meant that was not a detrimental outcome. Yes the mother had a csection as a result, I thank GOD that was the only thing that...
