   Talia_vde replied to jsnj2009's topic in Operating Room

   If you always knew you wanted to do the OR, you will LOVE it. You'll definately have some bad days but just stick with it. The OR is like one big, happy, dysfunctional family!

2. Practicing without a license

   Talia_vde replied to OR_RN12345's topic in Operating Room

   Wow! That is so scary! I'd be especially nervous to have my name on the same documents as her if there were ever a court case later on. That would be a great issue for a lawyer to blow up! This person shouldn't even be given the chance to finish ...

   Talia_vde replied to oceanrider's topic in General Nursing

   Hello Joel, I am a fairly new RPN, and I searched out the same question. You'll hear yes and no from a variety of people and places. The true answer is no. RPN's aren't recognized under the NAFTA visa, only RN's. You could apply for a green ...
