    koalafiedRN posted a topic in Travel

    Manager is emailing my personal email address

    koalafiedRN replied to koalafiedRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    koalafiedRN replied to koalafiedRN's topic in Travel

    Yeah agree. It took about that long to take the PBDS test as well. I feel like I have taken enough tests in the last year. And what is crazy is that they told me I would get the position only if I...
