    roser13 replied to guest12/23/15's topic in General Nursing

    roser13 replied to AspiringNurse23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    roser13 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  19. Cali to Texas endorsement verification issue

    roser13 replied to nursevm's topic in General Nursing

    I think that, in your shoes, I would want 100% accurate information on how to proceed. That really can only come from the state Board of Nursing. Would you really trust an online opinion for such an...
