    BahoRN replied to Graciehope's topic in School

  7. Nurses are Not Doctors

    BahoRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    The NP should step aside? And let the physician do the job?? Why on earth would this take place when the NP is more than qualified??? Please tell me you are not a nurse.

  8. Nurses are Not Doctors

    BahoRN replied to fangirl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
