    Kabin replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

  9. Nearly $5 million will go to train new Arizona nurses

    Kabin replied to GitanoRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It doesn't make much sense to me either. It's great to help the unemployed, vets, and their spouses but the end result could be more unemployed nursing graduates and another $5 million in the
