   I think you have answered my original question, though, and I thank you for that. Even if this IS unethical, why should I or anyone else care? I appreciate the feedback. Please kill the thread. Thanks.

   wabisabi replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

   Well, Tweety, I regularly read the articles and updates because, you see, I HAVE been certified in my specialty for about 10 years and that's what professionals do. The particular position statement was listed on page 1 as a "Hot Button Issue" in re...
