  10. suicide? Is this a trend with new nurses that can not cope?

    the4ofus replied to elysRN's topic in General Nursing

    Could we please be a little more respectful of the person that said there is a trend in nursing suicides? This is enough of a problem that ANA sponsored a presentation of the problem. It is one...

  11. Should I try and become a Nurse in a Naturopathic Clinic or a Naturopathic Doctor?

  16. Looking for some advice before making a mistake.

    the4ofus replied to italianlifter's topic in General Nursing

    If you like medicine the PA MD, DO or any other ancillary medical profession may be the ticket. Even PTs are required to have an extensive education MS or Ph.D to practice. Nursing is not medicine and...

    the4ofus replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing
