    hotomalis replied to AussieKylie's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    hotomalis replied to HillNPStudent's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    hotomalis replied to Feldner's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    How would one go to get training/license for IABP? I always thought they had to be 1:1. I am not employed (curretly) but I would like to learn stuff while I'm out.

    hotomalis replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what a "Registry Nurse" means. I am assuming that you are RN? At any rate, it is commendable what you have done and this is your opportunity to get all the CNA's organized and UNIONIZE so...
