  1. Why info on white culture omitted from cultural compence in textbooks?

    ANnot4me replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

  7. Being directed to get a patients son a ride home

    ANnot4me replied to unappreciatedrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Being directed to get a patients son a ride home

    ANnot4me replied to unappreciatedrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that the saddest point here is that far too many nurses do not understand that they can and should challenge the decisions made by their superiors. In this case the Charge Nurse was wrong. I...

  13. Get NP in Australia or US?

  15. Get NP in Australia or US?

    ANnot4me replied to greyL's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I am in NZ and to be a Nurse Practioner here one must work in the field in which they are seeking to practice as an NP and also have a MN with an endorsement in prescribing. So, if a nurse wants to...

  17. Can RN work as HCA in NZ?

    ANnot4me replied to Sunkang91's topic in Australia, New Zealand
