    Concerned about a nurse operating an x-ray machine without training.

    lifelearningrn replied to Mike.Nichols's topic in General Nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to clparnell's topic in General Nursing

    It will bring more debt and a lot of time studying, but I doubt you'd regret it. However, you have a great job that you love and don't plan on leaving. Is there room to move up there as an RN?...

    Closed Unfounded CPS case flagged during Nursing School application process

    lifelearningrn replied to Alba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I realize this is an old post, but am hopeful the OP didn't have the CPS case get in her way. I think the only time it would show up on a background is if criminal charges are filed. Open/shut CPS...
