   I think that if we become socialized medicine, or even if the US remains privatized, I could see cuts to some services (especially dialysis and related), especially in relation to age and specific health condition/comorbidities. I wonder if it will b...

   Hoosier_RN replied to fishguy909's topic in General Nursing

   Acute NPs practice in the area that they have some years of practice in. That said, you would need X years of practice in infection control. But honestly, most hospitals don't put an NP in those positions, at least none that I've ever heard of. The R...

    As far as I know, no it's not being taught. But after that incident, my kids will be reviewing school materials to make sure that it doesn't happen

    Hoosier_RN replied to guest1163268's topic in Talk Politics

    I did say "not curriculum, but happened at school" just to demonstrate some lame brain ideas that are out there that are just as bad as racism, and actually it is racism if taught to think a certain way about someone based on race. My sons are watchi...
