    Current/Former Chapel Hill or University of Alabama NP students, help please?

    PatMac10,RN replied to LittleMissVixen410's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Graduating from UNC would look good "name-wise", if your concerned with that type of thing. It is a well established State school that is also a respected nursing school in general. With the whole NC...

    NP to MD bridge program

    PatMac10,RN replied to deltasis02's topic in Advanced Practice

    Local hospital now says "BSN or MSN preferred" for all bedside positions?!

    PatMac10,RN replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my RN to BSN program there is no individual patho/pharm course required as a prerequisite. There is no pharm/Patho course in the curriculum, this seems to be the case with many RN to BSN programs....

    Can a LPN delegate to RN?

    PatMac10,RN replied to roxs752's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    COO isn't a clinical role, it's an administrative one. Anyone with any licensure, or lack there of, can delegate administrative/business-related tasks. For ex. A CNA who is a COO can tell the MD when...
