    Workitinurfava replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to Name9335's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Workitinurfava replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. This is not what I thought it was

    Workitinurfava replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    Workitinurfava replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

  21. NP being used as an RN

    Workitinurfava replied to Adam18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't say that I haven't ever seen nurse's get used by dingo jobs they shouldn't be, but the things they are asking you to do are way too risky. Honestly I would not be shocked if doctors try to...
