  7. Lost varicella immunity?

    jjhc2006 replied to SkiMama's topic in General Nursing

    Suanna is right! I checked with my insurance who told me if I stayed within the "network," my out-of-pocket cost would be $15. If I had chosen to go elsewhere, it would be $139. $15 sounds much better...

    jjhc2006 replied to mbw5680's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Sounds like you are a lot like me Izzy11 when it comes to researching. You simply cannot investigate too much when it comes to your education. Although I have many RN and PA friends saying I would...
