    V-Neck T-Shirt replied to KenH's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree that competence, experience, and patient advocacy matter more than anything else when it comes to nursing care. However, I think it would be a mistake to assume that nurses who win...

  19. Where are the most jobs?

    V-Neck T-Shirt replied to NorCalKid's topic in Travel
