    Ma To Lvn

    HeartsOpenWide replied to CampPenKidd's topic in General Nursing

    The ANA really doesn't like non-BSN Nurses

    HeartsOpenWide replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The only good I could foresee for requiring a BSN would be that everyone would have to have it and it would end debates like these (if there is no ASN to get then you can't argue it against the BSN or...

    HeartsOpenWide replied to ibambamama's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First of all, childbirth is natural. An MI is not, so of course it would be ridiculous to have an "MI Plan"... you can't even compare the two... Second, out of curiosity....how many of those bad...
