    Tell my manager or keep the bipolar hidden

    Julius Seizure replied to rhernandez748's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Julius Seizure replied to totoRN12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have a friend who did FNP because it was the "safest" choice with the most job opportunities. But she missed her NICU babies and now has gone back to school to be an NNP. Choose the one that your...

    The Nightingale Pledge - Still relevant today?

    Julius Seizure posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Personally, I feel like it could use an update. I feel like its outdated and perhaps out of touch, and it diminishes the critical thinking and professionalism that one needs to be an excellent...

    Dual specialty

    Julius Seizure replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Those are the associations that give the certification tests, not the tests themselves. They each have multiple exams in multiple specialties (even non-NP). So you take the exams from them that are...

    Julius Seizure replied to LbyNrs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
