    kitkats4breakfs replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

    It does sound like a way to save money. And if it is, it's something that facilities will adopted. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'm sure if this is someone's first NP job, they will quickly take...

    kitkats4breakfs replied to lvan0904's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  16. LIAR: ADN RN prompted to lie about holding a BSN... is it passable?

    kitkats4breakfs posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    kitkats4breakfs replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    The first rule of nursing school, is to play the game. You should have just said "yes, nursing is #1." Realistically your husband can take care of your kids, and they can eat McDonalds for 2 years and...

    kitkats4breakfs replied to kitkats4breakfs's topic in Male Nursing Students
