  1. IV Questions from a New Nurse

    BowHunterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new nurse and have some questions about using IV's. We were taught NOTHING about IV's in school, and it seems like at work everyone just assumes I know all about them. So here it is: When a...

  10. Ohio University Online FNP.. can they legally do this?

    BowHunterRN replied to BowHunterRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    sofla98, I doubt even the dean would change anything. This entire school is messed up. They lie to you in order to get you to be quiet, then don't change anything. I was accepted into the program, I...
