   zena231 replied to maire's topic in Rehabilitation

   I've found that many of my nursing friends who work in other areas have no clue exactly what we do. I've heard many people say before that we are like a glamourized nursing home. Obviously, that isnt...

    zena231 replied to janado's topic in Rehabilitation
