    Shift Work is Taking a Toll

    SHGR replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    Attn Clinic/Doctors office nurses!

    SHGR replied to Elleveein's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    This is the type of red herring tangent that always seems to occur in the APN fora. Weird to see it here too... But, calling MDs and DOs doctors does not mislead the public- those titles imply...

    BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

    SHGR replied to rickbar's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    How to ask for Letters of Recommendation-Feel embarrassed!

    SHGR replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to get over this fear, too. Anyone that said, "just write it and I'll sign it," or "tell me what to write," I asked someone else, because that just does not seem right to me. It is a big...
