    Noimanurse replied to RNmilwife's topic in Ob/Gyn

  4. Men in home health

    Noimanurse replied to Noimanurse's topic in Home Health

    Noimanurse replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Insulting? NO, its for the patients, however, is it stupid and financially irresponsible? Yes. Did the "toastmakers" in the kitchen make more than an RN? Surely not, if so, that might be insulting....

  9. Where can I get my certifications????

    Noimanurse replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Nursing

  12. How do you do this? Scardy cat!

    Noimanurse replied to ddjk04's topic in Illinois Nursing
