  3. Need advise!!

    KrysyRN replied to Alejandra.MtzRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    KrysyRN replied to amh_LPN_ student's topic in LPN to RN

  21. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    KrysyRN replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wonder why she doesn't go for the gold and call herself a physician or a nurse practitioner? Just curious The Texas BON publishes a nurse imposter list about twice a month or so with names and pics...

  22. CA BVNPT / change of address

    KrysyRN replied to JuniorsMommyLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
