    GCmomRN replied to Zlife's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    GCmomRN replied to msr91331's topic in School, College Programs

    GCmomRN replied to JasmDasm's topic in General Nursing

  17. Question regarding RN vs RT

    GCmomRN replied to dklouda's topic in Nursing Career

    As an RN who was an RT first... I don't think either has more autonomy in the hospital setting. Both have to take orders, do exactly what the MD wants and what the protocols dictate. However, if...
