    Nemhain replied to truliblessed's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nemhain replied to truliblessed's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nemhain replied to smelendez's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  9. Our Nursing class is losing their minds over CBL

    Nemhain replied to Dratz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm glad my classes weren't like the OP's...I would have died. Luckly we didn't have any projects, just tests and one paper each semester. No, I don't think that students should just be spoon fed;...

  13. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    Nemhain replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nemhain replied to NurseTricia99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. BBC: "Nurses say reform prostitute law"

    Nemhain replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Nemhain replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  22. Medicare Won't Cover Some Anxiety Drugs

  24. Identity Theft in the Hospital

    Nemhain replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare
