2. Shame on you ANCC : Psych CNS: Don't precept Psych NP's

   the4ofus replied to dmarie82's topic in CNS

7. Washington Nurses Celebrate House Bill 1155

   the4ofus replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Headlines

   I believe what the senator said is that it would be a financial problem for the hospitals. But that was also debunked by an article elsewhere that the critical access hospitals in WA were doing very well financially. I don't understand why 1) we wou...

10. Washington Nurses Celebrate House Bill 1155

    the4ofus replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Headlines

    A large part of this problem is that is it difficult for nurses to define their practice. We keep allowing people that have NO idea what nursing is to define who and what we are and are not. The Senator was only restating what she has heard or what...
