Article Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the restraints....... I am a seasoned long-term care nurse. I deal with life and death matters all the time.

Plus she needs to inject it into my stomach! Has she lost her mind?

Read More Staff Blogs A thread in the Ob/Gyn nursing forum got me thinking about this. Family centered maternity care (FCMC) is a buzzword that's no doubt quite familiar to many in maternal/child nursing circles. In my almost-eight years as a nurse - not long in comparison to many of my colleagues - I have seen several hospitals in my area make the switch from all separate units to some form of FCMC and rooming-in.
Read More Regional Discussion - Maryland Is anyone having any luck so far with hospitals in Maryland? All of the hospitals that I have talked to have told me that they are not looking at new grad applications until April. Is anyone else hearing the same thing? This seems so late to me!!!
