   thats absurd replied to xInspiredx's topic in NP

3. New idea for NP/PA to MD

   thats absurd replied to FNPinKS's topic in NP

   That is referred to as an anecdote and has no bearing on anything. Let me drop another example for you: "I know, personally, that I can fly. I've seen myself do it." Does this mean I can fly? Does it mean anything at all? No. The fact that you ...

8. Why do physical therapist make more then....

   thats absurd replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

   ..PT's make more because they go to school for 6+ years, RN's go for 2-4 years. In addition, PT's study science courses in their undergrad years including stints in organic chemistry and biochemistry for most.

9. Do nurses get MRSA easily?

   thats absurd replied to RNcool's topic in General Nursing
