    MN-Nurse replied to missie1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  12. Facebook almost cost me my job

    MN-Nurse replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    MN-Nurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I think that mentality exists primarily on message boards. Allnurses in general is a very supportive community. A (mostly) unintended result of that is that people can come here and get a lot of...

    MN-Nurse replied to Phillip1988's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
