  2. Check out requirements of state Nursing Board BEFORE you move!

  11. Nurses with Psych/Mental Health Issues

    Okay you guys, I know nurses are human and can have issues just like everyone else but, this is the issue: how do you address this with the individual? Even though the BON standards of practice say you must report. I feel a bit inadequate in the bord...
