  1. Becoming a (d)NP with only OR experience?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  2. Becoming a (d)NP with only OR experience?

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    mhy12784 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. It's a crime to take pictures of your patients

    mhy12784 replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  7. Why can't hospitals do better?

    mhy12784 replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    mhy12784 replied to foxynurse78's topic in General Nursing

  11. A Good Nurse Manager...

    mhy12784 replied to Emergent's topic in Nurse Management

    mhy12784 replied to mclennan's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    mhy12784 replied to crw162's topic in General Nursing

  16. I wish they had to stay and watch the chaos

    mhy12784 replied to greenerpastures's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  19. Atheist at Catholic hospital

    mhy12784 replied to kaydensmom01's topic in Spirituality, Religion
