    AznMurse replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  10. Conscious Sedation by "qualified" persons...

    AznMurse replied to mommyof2grls's topic in Radiology

    AznMurse replied to unique7's topic in General Nursing

    AznMurse replied to exairex's topic in General Nursing

  16. Should I rock the boat??

    AznMurse replied to anggelRN's topic in General Nursing

    I say rock that ******* boat! No one deserves to be abused especially when you are in the process of learning new things. Conceding to this type of a behavior will only perpetuate it. No fair. I would...

    oh get over yourselves with the whole Manhattan coolness. If you like crowded, noisy, dirty and expensive, go live in Manhattan. If you value charm, character, and diversity then I suggest you look...

  22. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    AznMurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't understand the rationale to an "upgrade". ADN/staff nurses would need to know bare minimum to practice safely...and they have been doing that well. I don't see the need to go to a BSN program...

    AznMurse replied to suture_self's topic in Male Nursing Students
