  1. for those who wear hearing aids

    nurseaboveboard replied to allycat4's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Wow, I am interested in hearing more about the implantable aids, when you do find out. My late sis was deaf and had some analog ones, which she rarely wore. Oh, I can remember getting so mad at her...

  3. Women's Health NP for me?

    nurseaboveboard replied to sargentrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well sargentrn, to answer your question (though some people have trouble understanding this), I wasn't all that excited about becoming an NP anyhow. I was looking to get my Masters, then saw this...

    nurseaboveboard replied to cc_nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

  5. Hospitals in Bluffton, Ft. Wayne region

    nurseaboveboard replied to cc_nurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    cc_nurse, you do not mention the population of your current town, and exactly what you mean by a "different" environment for your children. I think you meant more opportunities? I for sure don't...

  6. Class splitting up!

    nurseaboveboard replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, when I was getting my Masters we started out with quite a few students. Then, people started dropping like flies (or it seemed so then). It was sad, and a little scary, because we knew why some...

    nurseaboveboard replied to alkaleidi's topic in Health, Stress Management

  8. Women's Health NP for me?

    nurseaboveboard replied to sargentrn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think I agree with ILoveIceCream. ANP may give you more options, and quite a bit cheaper by your figures you gave. This is a special interest of mine too. I am not currently practicing as FNP,...

    nurseaboveboard replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    nurseaboveboard replied to safae1986's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello, and welcome to the site! I want to tell you first that the folks here frown on what they call "doing someone's homework for them," and so you might not get many posts. Because of what you've...

    nurseaboveboard replied to MzSuziQ64's topic in Home Health

    nurseaboveboard replied to angelikdemonik's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
