  3. DEA States that LTC Nurses Are No Longer Agents Of The Prescribers

    RedCell replied to chase4myheart's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    RedCell replied to sallieyaj's topic in General Nursing

  6. Nurse Anesthetists: Will they phase out?

    RedCell replied to madden52's topic in General Nursing

  9. What would you change about Nursing to make it better?

    RedCell replied to jamhoyz's topic in General Nursing

  11. What would you change about Nursing to make it better?

    RedCell replied to RNman09's topic in General Nursing

    There are a few things I would like to see change. 1) Get rid of the complaining chronically depressed I hate this job types. 2) Mandate a bachelors degree as the minimum requirement for all entry...

  12. Anesthesia Gas Making Me Tired in the OR???

    RedCell replied to canigraduate's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  18. Propofol recall....

    RedCell replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    RedCell replied to ACU_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you serious? How about we take a look at socialized education. Government sckrewls are failing and every year tax payers are forced to dump more money into them. What do we get in return? A bunch...
