    PattieTarr posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. How do you find support while you're still applying to nursing school?

    PattieTarr replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PattieTarr replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you perform a duty outside of a CNA's duties, it can be called practicing nursing without a license. I literally just had this come up on a test. I'm not trying to argue with you about it, and I...
