5. Where do you go when you don't trust official data sources?

   Ohio NP replied to 10GaugeNeedles's topic in COVID

   So I think the one main thing I picked up in your post that explains a lot of why you have this generalized distrust of public reputable sources is your comment, “yes liberals vaccine injuries do happen”. So if you truly want to understand your sour...

   Ohio NP replied to Anonymous865's topic in COVID

   Ohio NP replied to Helen Crump's topic in COVID

8. Legally, Can I mix RN/NP roles?

   Ohio NP replied to paramedic-RN's topic in NP

11. Nurses are Fleeing the Hospital

    Ohio NP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

13. Legally, Can I mix RN/NP roles?

    Ohio NP replied to paramedic-RN's topic in NP
