    Guest717236 replied to rddsnurse's topic in Emergency

    Guest717236 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

  11. Should I join the force

    Guest717236 replied to jsfireemt's topic in Nursing Career

    That sounds like a good plan. If you are interested in advanced training, research the opportunities for NP vs PA in your area. In our area, MDs seem to favor PAs over the NPs in many settings. If...

  17. Unethical? Illegal?

    Guest717236 replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    I would say unethical and illegal. The key here is that the child was under GA and the nurse accepted $ 50 directly assuming the facts are correct. In the mall, there are salespeople in stores and...
