  3. Two interviews

    bugya90 replied to nsummer's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    bugya90 replied to MEANNRS's topic in General Nursing

  15. What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    bugya90 replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    bugya90 replied to mka0141's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm an LVN in primary care. Our NPs never do blood draws and in the 3 years I've been in primary care we've only done 2 IVs. Both were started by the LVNs. I have no doubt our NPs can do IVs and blood...

    bugya90 replied to ashmckay's topic in General Students
