  13. Haiti

    Wave Watcher replied to imbatz's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I googled "Nursing journals Haiti 2014" and had several to come up in the search that were newer than 2010. May want to search again and see if any "fit" what you need. Good

  14. What Do I NEED to Know Before Clinicals?

  19. "Frequent Flier" classification

    Wave Watcher replied to scrubsrn24's topic in School
