    Asystole RN replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Phasing Out ADN?

    Your dream nursing job?

    Asystole RN replied to JustDandy's topic in General Nursing

    Patients Filming You

    Asystole RN replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    I see the parallel here but the problem is the thought that nursing is a common job. There is a reason why we have to be licensed. If you are a licensed professional who is serving the public,...

    Asystole RN replied to workingot's topic in Nursing Career
