    Nursferatu replied to anilechim's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    THIS! This is exactly the point! Anyone not doing due diligence in the program they are spending a fortune on, are doing themselves a disservice. Anyone who is willing to put their patients at risk so...

    Nursferatu replied to hls0810's topic in General Nursing

  8. HELP!!

    Nursferatu replied to NicoleElizabethRN's topic in General Students

  11. bullying? racism? or overreacting?

    Nursferatu replied to beachbum2000's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nursferatu replied to silhouettedreams's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you got through nursing school, your first year of nursing, and an offer for a new position, you're fine! My guess is that if you are only just now noticing co-workers acting like it's odd, you may...

    Nursferatu replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

  17. The sloppy image of nurses today

    Nursferatu replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nursferatu replied to AshBuggin's topic in General Students
