    lauritasol replied to lauritasol's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    lauritasol replied to vickynurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    lauritasol replied to lauritasol's topic in General Nursing

    lauritasol replied to nursejennie76's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

  21. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    lauritasol replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree with Timothy! We are professional health care workers, and part of the health care team - why don't we get a pre-title? I'm not a man, but I don't like the term "nurse" and especially don't...
