    shelly304 replied to Karynica, RN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Using Same Equipement on all Patients?

    shelly304 replied to Atl_John's topic in General Nursing

  9. How Dare You Say That To My Patient!!!

    shelly304 replied to Calgon-take.me.away's topic in General Nursing

    shelly304 replied to GM1987's topic in General Nursing

  12. NP's calling themselves MD's

    shelly304 replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

  14. NP's calling themselves MD's

    shelly304 replied to shelly304's topic in General Nursing

    Neither the NP or PA I am refering to have their PhD. They both do intro themselves as DR. and also when on the phone and in public. I guess it is just my "peeve"! Also, I did not know that there was...

    shelly304 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing
