    Clinical experience

    cayenne06 replied to jackpp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wow. Just wow

    cayenne06 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Hep B is very rare nowadays. I work in OB and am up close and personal with all sorts of body fluids. I'm immune, but I wouldn't change my field if i didn't seroconvert. I'd probably ask another...

    Should I try and become a Nurse in a Naturopathic Clinic or a Naturopathic Doctor?

    cayenne06 replied to NenaRK's topic in Holistic

    Who are these people that are suppressing cures and cackling as they profit off the deaths of patients? Big pharma is profit driven, for sure, but the people on the front lines are just PEOPLE, like...
