    Is there/should there be a gay/lesbian nurses association?

    SharonH, RN replied to inquiringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Is there/should there be a gay/lesbian nurses association?

    SharonH, RN replied to inquiringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Should there be one? Well I guess that would be up to gay and lesbian nurses. If they did decide to form an association, I see nothing wrong with that and I can't fathom why someone would have a...

    Should RNs do housekeeping job or is it our job?

    SharonH, RN replied to Lenap's topic in General Nursing
