    Georgia law prohibits DNPs from using the term "doctor"

    I really think that this is just ridiculous. If you earn the Doctoral Degree, then you have earned the right to use the title of Dr. I think that there are significantly more important things that...

    Pulse Ox

    beachynurse replied to marsbar37's topic in School

    The problem is, I'm not arguing. That's not why I'm here, and it's not my style. I'm here to learn, and to bounce ideas off of other nurses. I feel that arguing is only counter productive, and...

    Pulse Ox

    beachynurse replied to marsbar37's topic in School
