2. Where is the nursing shortage?

   fleetfoxRN replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   fleetfoxRN replied to fairy_C's topic in Canada CRNE, CPNRE Exams

    fleetfoxRN replied to PPAA's topic in International Nursing

    If you guys are that upset about degree holders being able to write the CRPNE, you should write to the CNO about it. You can bet that if the option is THERE, I'd take it. Anyone who successfully...
