    Mandatory co-author?

    broughden replied to Jules A's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Thank you, that makes more sense. What was stated previously just sounded like editing work. Although why the head of a lab should get author credit simply for running a school's lab, if they aren't...

    Acing anatomy- what makes muscles so hard?

    broughden replied to Socal_amt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Auditory exams in nursing schools

    nurse practitioner schools that does not require RN experience

    broughden replied to lemonsandcookies's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
