    APRN. replied to PNW0212's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    APRN. replied to asnballaboy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  16. Don't Call Them Nurses!

    APRN. replied to Lark Pogue's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The Original Post after the title “Don’t Call Them Nurses" I see no evidence that someone has referred to an LPN as “not a nurse”. In California, not only is it ignorant, but it is illegal...

    APRN. replied to RunawayN's topic in California Nursing

    APRN. replied to Lark Pogue's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    California will slap a fine on the person who claims that they are a nurse if they do not hold a license as such. The law even apples to those who do not clarify that they are, indeed, not a nurse. If...
