  1. Are we "semi-professionals"

    Susie2310 replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, whether people think of me as a professional, semi-professional, blue-collar worker, or whatever, isn't really very important to me on a personal level. In terms of status and income...

  2. Are we "semi-professionals"

    Susie2310 replied to GastroAwesome's topic in General Nursing

    Susie2310 replied to furelite's topic in General Nursing

  21. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    Susie2310 replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing
