Does David Koresh (Aug 17, 1959 - April 19, 1993), leader of the Branch Davidians, ring a bell? Just continue to think for yourselves. Everyone needs beliefs and a polarizing spot...but common sense...

Okay, I just finished up as a member of a search committee for a new clinical instructor and poured over many a resume. First or third person makes NO impression. We need no license #, just state the...

Yes..."HER BURDEN", not the patient's. The "judge" in this case does not appear to be God. And the holistic nursing approach is all about what is right for the uniquely individual patient, not the...
You could go LPN/LVN-RN-BSN, but I think it would take you longer. However, you could be working as a nurse at the same time. The programs available are endless. What state will you be studying
