    CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    NP schools without an RN license

    BostonFNP replied to Sun1's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hopefully respect is given or withheld based on merit not on presumption of prior experience. There are some crummy NP programs out there, and hopefully they are on the way out. FWIW, CCNE...

    Anti-Vaxxers Shut Down Immunization Events

    BostonFNP replied to J.Adderton's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Slippery slope is a logical fallacy. Jacobson v. Massachusetts was in 1905. Zuct v. King was in 1922. This has been ruled on and confirmed by the Supreme Court a long time

    Legalization has nothing to do with my comment. If an individual is willing to lie about smoking pot out of self-preservation, what does that say for their professional integrity. Would they make up...

    Prediabetes Now Common Among Teens and Young Adults

    BostonFNP replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News
