    lovethepeople replied to madwife2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    lovethepeople replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

  16. Who has heard from Stanford New Grad Program?

    lovethepeople replied to lovethepeople's topic in First Year After Licensure

  21. I'm an RN! I can't find a job!

    lovethepeople replied to StudentMidwife's topic in First Year After Licensure

    lovethepeople replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am with you! I will not be satisfied, and we will not see a truly healthy society, until we all have coverage (and coverage that is patient-focused!). I am not confident the government will do...
