  5. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

    AspiringNurseMW replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    AspiringNurseMW replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is not the point. This is not about what's policy, that's a completely different issue. What we are talking about here is being judged for and/or denied a job for wearing certain cultural...

  13. Is there such thing as a Perinatal Nurse Practitioner?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to BrooklynHD's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm confused. What is it that you don't want to be a midwife? The things you listed sound exactly what a hospital based midwife would do. I also don't think being a nurse practioner should be...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to knnyz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AspiringNurseMW replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    AspiringNurseMW replied to nwbsoon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I mean, I'd they are the ONLY other classes you are taking and are organized and committed I don't see why not. Last semester I took A&P among my 17 credits. This semester I'm taking A&P 2,...

    AspiringNurseMW replied to desertstar6's topic in Nursing Professionalism
