    firechalice replied to Sleepygirl09's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  4. Any black male nurses out there?

    firechalice replied to Spoiled1's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you can apply to 2 or 3 then that'd be great. If you are accepted into all 3 then you can make a choice. Otherwise I'd go where I was accepted. Good

    firechalice replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Nursing

  10. Shortage of Primary Care MDs in US

    firechalice replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like my decision pursue an MSN in community/public health and a MPH will pay off. From the sounds of the article, ANPs will definitely be in demand and fulfill some of the need. Isn't it...

  13. Any black male nurses out there?

    firechalice replied to Spoiled1's topic in Men in Nursing

    You are correct there does seem to be more of our African brothers in nursing than African Americans. Also, ICU is a beast of a different color. There are very few AfrAm of any color, orientation,...
