    dawngloves replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    It can be done, with some good time management and empty rooms. You loose some of your modesty after having a baby. I would pump in tub rooms, behind curtains of empty beds. (bonus if the TV is on!)...

    dawngloves replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal
