    mslinzyann posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    mslinzyann replied to 2bnurselove08's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I will try to help, but take what I say to do with a grain of salt, as I don't even have a full rubric to go from. Ok, so lets say you want to write a paper on why nurses are so important in a...

    mslinzyann posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    mslinzyann replied to GeeKster's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  22. Nursing as a CAREER

    mslinzyann replied to mslinzyann's topic in General Nursing

    The idea that nurses are replaceable is a truth, and so are all professionals, as TheCommuter said. I think that what he is saying is that nurses are more replaceable, however, because they have less...
