  3. does anyone know how to calibrate a manual BP cuff?

    RelloydRN replied to freefalr's topic in General Nursing

  9. Endorsement Application to Vermont

    RelloydRN replied to Ona7's topic in Immigration Advice

  10. Endorsement Application to Vermont

    RelloydRN replied to Ona7's topic in Immigration Advice

    RelloydRN replied to puppy_eyes88's topic in International Nursing

    Get your experience from the Philippines first. Even with all the exams you took they are still looking for bedside experience. Hone your skills first as nursing in the US (as I am told) is far more...
