    mharrah replied to NurseKimberley's topic in Aesthetics

  11. can you be a DON/ADON without having your license?

    mharrah replied to fallinnstyle's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I would think it would be a problem. When you take orders, aren't you suppose to write your credentials after your name? And I don't think you can legally use "RN" if your license is

  16. Patient or Client??? Which do you say?

    mharrah replied to Olive Oyl's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting topic. When I was in nursing school (in 2005), the instructors and nursing students called them patients. The same went for when I began working at the hospital. I never heard the word...

  17. Specialty within the Nursing feild that requires little or no contact with blood?

    mharrah replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Blee. I thought I was the only one who would get grossed out watching blood and guts on TV but then handle like it's no big deal in real life. I guess it's because when you see it for...
