    JoseQuinones replied to CNAConfessions's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    JoseQuinones posted a topic in General Nursing

  7. Your opinion on degrees.

    JoseQuinones replied to Kaitybar7's topic in General Nursing

  11. New RN (almost), 401k, and Retirement

    JoseQuinones replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

  12. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    JoseQuinones replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    JoseQuinones replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    And taking away your "right" to pick the pockets of nurses who don't want to join your union stops you from doing all that how, exactly? Your apocalyptic pronouncements look increasingly outdated as...

    JoseQuinones replied to jayh77's topic in Washington Nursing

    Passing rate and accreditation is everything. Without accreditation, you hobble your future career, especially if you plan to continue studying or teach later. Have you thought about moving closer to...

    JoseQuinones replied to SNBTaylor's topic in Nursing Professionalism
