Niki notices Frank’s disturbing behavior at Nathan’s family care conference in the A Bad Feeling About Frank, this week’s chapter of The Adventures of Nurse Niki.
A unique aspect of pediatric nursing is adapting patient care and interventions to acknowledge a child patient as part of a family unit, while meeting the their individual and developmental needs. You can’t separate the child from its parents.

In this week’s chapter, Niki has a bad feeling about Frank.
