  10. You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    thenursemandy replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how anybody could legitimately compare 9-10 month MA programs to 2-4 year nursing programs. To think that they can perform under the same scope as us is ridiculous! I'm not saying tgat...
