    fromtheseaRN replied to boru's topic in Arizona Nursing

  7. Moving to Arizona soon

    fromtheseaRN replied to Manila Daisy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to danggirl's topic in Emergency

    my thoughts exactly. ed is for emergencies. unfortunately, not every community has community resources or free health clinics, or reasonable transportation to these places. I volunteer at a free...

    fromtheseaRN replied to njmomstudent's topic in General Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to CheckThePoo's topic in First Year After Licensure
