    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Extra Pickles replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What's In A Name Badge?

    Extra Pickles replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My ID says RN, nothing else. I do like the idea of being known as Nurse Ratchet, RN-High Queen of Narnia. I think I'll suggest that the next time TPTB want employee input for that self-governing...

    Can you cancel your license

    Extra Pickles replied to RescueNinja123's topic in General Nursing

    Extra Pickles replied to alishaH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
