    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to octaviaM's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    NurseCubanitaRN2b replied to thomask4's topic in International Nursing

    To be honest with you it's just a way to suck more money out of you. If you have a long wait to go you should really think about a plan B and try another route. Others have done that and have decided...
