  5. MD shortage prompts UDM to shorten PA program

    Papadoc replied to Selke's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. Upset!!! write up and patients marijuana

    Papadoc replied to RNGINA's topic in Home Health

  11. Upset!!! write up and patients marijuana

    Papadoc replied to RNGINA's topic in Home Health

    How does reporting an illigal drug is violeting this pt's privacy? The nurse observed it in his home, and has every obligation to report it. Not reporting it could put this nurse, as well as all of...

  17. Hello! I'm a "Physician Extender"

    Papadoc replied to PackMule's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
