   syndromal65 replied to Jstand's topic in Activism

   I wouldn't consider this an empty threat. There's already a trend of docs leaving med school for other professions. Also, more and more physicians are going to a cash only system which tends to skirt the issue of reimbursement. The fact that their al...

7. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

   syndromal65 replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

   It seems as though some don't understand the difference in credentials and education. BSN does not equal credentials, it is a level of education. Credentails are such as PNP, CNS, MD, PA. This is just more evidence of why nursing is so convoluted. Fr...
