  4. Frustrated

    Q. posted a topic in Nursing Career

  5. Frustrated

    Q. replied to Q.'s topic in Nursing Career

    Q. replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

    Q. replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You know, it's been 4 years or so since I've staffed the OB floor, and so many times I miss that, but reading this thread made me laugh and in a way, understand WHY I miss some of that stuff!

    Q. replied to Aaron-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with llg. The 2 designations, while similiar for all practical purposes, are two distinct degrees. Using BSN because it sounds better but if you did not in fact, earn it, would not be wise....

  18. How do you decide, RN or LVN?

    Q. replied to Nicole9187's topic in Nursing Career
