5. Spanish for L&D nurses

   Nurseintraining77 replied to livn4him11's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm not going to debate whether or not they should be here and learn the language or not. However the fact of the matter is many don't/can't speak the language for whatever reason. Learning a second language isn't that easy for many people no mat...
