    Mijourney replied to js621d's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I agree with psu_213 that learning the EHR depends on the facility and program. It also depends on how comfortable the nurse is with technology. If you have a nurse that has limited knowledge of...

  9. How do you get a job with no RECENT exp.

    Mijourney replied to CNPalmer's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
