    Annabelle57 replied to Annabelle57's topic in International Nursing

    Yeah... I think I read that the government was somehow opposed to foreign-trained professionals, not just foreigners in general. It could have been bunk, anyway - people write all sorts of stuff on...

    Annabelle57 replied to Annabelle57's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
