Specializes in Critical Care.

What's the context? Google search finds nothing relevant to nursing.

Edit: Nevermind, I find a certain chemotherapy cocktail under MVAC:

Methotrexate

Vinblastine

Adriamycin

Cisplatin

Thanks, everybody - I am constantly amazed at the allnurses.com community. I suspect in this case, it refers to a type of chemo.
