   ominous replied to klone's topic in Union

   So you're saying its unprofessional to not be in a union?? I'm sorry but striking does not effect positive change. It puts patients at risk for someone's need to make more money. Forcing people to pay to work is not positive change. As far as the mer...

14. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    ominous replied to Blurr156's topic in NP Students
