    stethoscope question

    LibraSunCNM replied to Emmypenguin's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Are We Too PC?

    Are We Too PC?

    LibraSunCNM replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    This. I feel like complaints about society being "too PC" generally come from people who want to be able to be rude and nasty with no consequences, and blame the people they are being nasty to as...

    What's a Nurse Practitioner?!

    LibraSunCNM replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Preach, friend! New Mexico is essentially midwife mecca. We're getting there, slowly but surely. Our healthcare system literally cannot sustain the cost of how we manage OB in the U.S. much longer,...

    Teaching nursing with a Ph.D. in medicine?
