   R2MD replied to nursestudentx's topic in General Nursing

   Oh one last thing......I dont think that you would like me to confuse you with the nursing assistant. Why wouldnt the PAs seek to educate regarding their profession. Food for thought!

   R2MD replied to nursestudentx's topic in General Nursing

   Absolutely false. I visit that forum regularly and this is not true. If you go over there and bash PAs that is a different story, however that board is definately more civil than this board. They know the difference between healthy debate and honest ...

4. Nurses cannot take orders from MA's, what is your protocol?

   R2MD replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Med-Surg

   R2MD replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing
