    Repat replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in International Nursing

    Repat replied to Repat's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you look at the Nursing Advocacy website, you will see that their remit is to challenge the way nursing and nurses are portrayed in the media. They do a great job with that. The ones you need to...
