    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    How do you know that @Emergent doesn't know about the cost of senior care? They may be paying for a loved one now...I took the comment to mean if we educate and can help with healthier lifestyles,...

    NP: Age limit?

    Hoosier_RN replied to romantic's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree with what your saying in theory. The reality: not one Supreme Justice, politician, or singular person can control all said things, even code to nuclear destruction. It is a group decision, so...

    Prepare Nurses to Pass NCLEX, or Prepare Nurses for Real World?

    Can I be an RN with a DUI?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column
