    hope3456 replied to queenjulie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    should the education requirements change for nurses?

    hope3456 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    This topic has been discussed ad nauseum here on AN. There is not a clear cut concensus. IMO as long as employers are still willing to hire from all 3 disciplines, not much will

    Could research publications make it difficult to find a job?

    hope3456 replied to Nursey22783's topic in General Nursing
