    Nurse Joey replied to Sped's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that PAs have less of a chip on their shoulder, not to say they don't have one, but NPs always seem defensive about their role. As a LVN currently working on becoming a RN, I plan on...

    Nurse Joey replied to Elsarap's topic in General Nursing
