    Brave or just stupid?

    Skippingtowork replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Something that I found very useful is the MD preceptor who precepts you the same way he/she would precept a medical student or intern. When you have to present cases in that manner, you really learn...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    Skippingtowork replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Unruly CNAs

    Unruly CNAs

    Skippingtowork replied to penlite28's topic in Travel

    Unruly CNAs

    Skippingtowork replied to penlite28's topic in Travel

    It's quite clear that you are not yet licensed or a CNA. Report to the BON and say what? Just like you are advocating to report a CNA to the BON, that CNA can report the RN to the BON and the RN has...

    Skippingtowork replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Skippingtowork replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Skippingtowork replied to Lakeshore18's topic in General Nursing

    At one hospital I worked, management even required that we state how many years experience we had. What confidence a patient will have going from a nurse with 30 years experience to a new grad coming...

    Should NP training be standardized?
