  1. Phi Theta Kappa... is it worth the $55 bucks?

    BeachNurse replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    Why not join? I understand the fee can be steep if you are struggling, however it only serves to benefit you in the long run. I mentioned it to my Dad and he was so proud of me that HE paid it for...

  17. Research Question

    BeachNurse replied to Richo's topic in Research
