    wtbcrna replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Is getting your DNP worth it?

    wtbcrna replied to brookeg30's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    wtbcrna replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Mandatory flu shots????

    wtbcrna replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Then IMHO, if you don't believe in EBM/research and western medicine you no longer need to be a nurse. There is so much medical literature and basics ethics that contradicts what you believe in that...
