    menetopali replied to ER Tigger Girl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  2. Union

    menetopali replied to ER Tigger Girl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  4. Union

    menetopali replied to ER Tigger Girl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    in brief, i get this idea from my knowledge of U.S. history & government. unions are not subject to review by "other parts of government" because they are not part of government. the labor laws to...

  13. Rn-bsn Online?????????????

    menetopali replied to nivek21's topic in General Nursing

  14. Associates vs Bachelors degree - Which to choose??

    menetopali replied to jprphotoserf's topic in General Nursing

  17. Union

    menetopali replied to ER Tigger Girl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i just wanted to make sure i wasn't taking your position out of context or misrepresenting it. if the autonomy of those with whom you disagree matters so little to you, perhaps a caring profession...

  18. Union

    menetopali replied to ER Tigger Girl's topic in Activism, Healthcare
