    Any nursing lab jobs?

    Hoosier_RN replied to fishguy909's topic in General Nursing

    Still no. Labs are drawn, then sent to lab for processing by machine or lab tech. No nurse involved other than with orders. NP may order the labs and follow up. RN may carry out orders (although...

    I live in the area, and from the news, that's how I understand it to be also. The officers were there to arrest/serve the warrant, had nothing to do with getting the warrant. The lies were told by...

    As a white person, who has biracial children and grandchildren, all who have experienced racism: I will never condescend to tell them how they are allowed to feel about race relations. My kids have...
