  5. Accredited schools versus approved

    oramar replied to lexy 2002 LPN's topic in General Nursing

    oramar replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

  13. How do I address disciplinary action with potential employer?

    oramar replied to robigayle's topic in General Nursing

    oramar replied to indigo girl's topic in Disaster Preparation

    oramar replied to crippersmom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh you poor thing, nurses get told to shut up so often and frequently it is by our own. I could tell that you had just come to vent and I was not going to respond until I saw the "shut up" remark....
