  1. How do people feel about male nurses?

    %D#2 replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

  3. Stumped on a question pls help!

    %D#2 replied to natmanzo's topic in General Students

  9. Abuse/ negligent med error?

    %D#2 replied to Gracia69's topic in General Nursing

    %D#2 replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  17. Accused of being impaired, fired, now told I can't practice

    %D#2 replied to IsabellaRN2's topic in Nurses Recovery

  21. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    %D#2 replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    If you are more into it the science aspect of it you may want to get your NP, PA, or MD as others have said. I don't think this comes off arrogant I just think you are looking for something different....
