3. Any new NPs go directly for DNP?

   mslpn210 replied to linearthinker's topic in Doctoral

   What will we do when the DNP is required to practice as NP in 2015? From what I understand, that means there won't be any experience anyway?

4. Need advice - transitioning from hospital to LTC

   mslpn210 replied to mslpn210's topic in Geriatric

   Any comments on the nurses who say if the resident wants all their meds at once (5 and 9s), then it is okay (as long as it isn't the same med, of course)?

    mslpn210 replied to UnderpaidNurse's topic in New Nurse

    I was unaware LPN's who have not worked a year could put in IVs? Unless the law is different where you live, I suggest you quit practicing that, or you could be in troouble!
