   risperdal replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

   and while they're at it, the PNA, PRC and CHED (CHED most especially) should work on upgrading the nursing curriculum in our country...it sucks to know that my degree is only equivalent to a college certificate here in Ontario

2. any hospitals accepting trainees?

9. hepa B

   risperdal replied to cuidado's topic in International
