  2. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    MrAllenU replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  7. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    MrAllenU replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  12. A "chick's" perspective on Men in Nursing

    MrAllenU replied to KimmbaFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I have to agree with these two. Being a male among a sea of females doesn't mean you should think like a neanderthal (i.e. sex, power, authority). I hope the majority of male nurses and male nursing...

    MrAllenU replied to CNATylerTX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
