I am starting in a level 3 NICU as new grad in Maryland and they pay 29.10/hr for nights.... :mortarboard: Love the low end of that totem pole!!! Gotta start somewhere especially when you're offered the job of a lifetime! Good luck

Congratulations!!!! I too will join the nICU nursing world in August in Maryland. Fasten your seatbelts!!!! Any of you looked into a scope? I have to buy my own and am considering an ultrascope with a neonate and adult head. What are your thoughts??...

ok students i have a question and it may seem absurd but here goes.... i was at a shopping center today and i witnessed a little girl fall off of one of those concrete plantars, you know the ones about 3 feet tall with the ledge that you can sit on? ...

The incident took place outside of the stores in the walkways, it's a big shopping center complex.I appreciate the responses. I did in fact tell the mom that if this was my baby I would go to the ER and I think she should at least call the DR. becaus...
