  2. Nurse Practitioner vs Physician Assistant

    QuietRiot replied to nurselyfe4115's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there is a myth that PA's can do more, if anything there's a myth that PA's are inferior to NP'S...Which seems to be perpetuated by some arrogant

  10. Another reason unions suck!

    QuietRiot replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Fair? Is what you pay to ride a bus. I don't expect fairness from profit-driven corporations and seeking such is why a lot of nurses are in the position that they're in. Furthermore, I've never...

  17. Can a Criminal History Stop Me from Being a Nurse?

    QuietRiot replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Why is it that when someone has a criminal conviction, but goes a long time w/o incident people like to attribute it to luck. Couldn't that also be said for those who don't have a criminal...
