I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the minimum nursing requirement should be someone committed and dedicated to giving quality, competent, and holistic care. Building on that quality is what will make all nurses, any nurse a GREAT and faithful servant to her number one priority--NURSING!! Dove That was nice. Thanks for reminding me of why I am in nursing school and giving me HOPE of working with some people who may think exactly like you do. Kaliko
