  1. Is finding OB backup getting harder? Easier? Why?

    kirchnerfamily posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    kirchnerfamily replied to Roxy0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Not sure if I should get all pre-reqs done first??? Advice?

    kirchnerfamily replied to Roxy0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    kirchnerfamily posted a topic in Ob/Gyn
