    madamewalker replied to szccdw's topic in New York Nursing

    madamewalker replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, men of color do seem to be left out of the comparison, don't they? Me, to the rescue. "Men of color also experience wage discrimination, with African-American men earning 75¢ and Latinos earning...

  14. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    madamewalker replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn
