  1. Considering LNC

    jCLNC replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Legal

  2. CHPN exam

    jCLNC replied to Mandee's topic in Hospice, Palliative

  10. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    jCLNC replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I also had a similar experience. Checked into my hospital, of which I am a current employee. They of course knew this, and my staus as an RN. I was checked in nicely into the outpatient area for a...
