   J Lau replied to Joybelle517's topic in Wisconsin

   I went to school in GB. I am not sure if there are jobs available working specifically for the Oneida Nation, but there are enough hospitals in the area. In my experience, most of the Oneida Indians are accustomed to our culture, and there won't be...

9. Help with review question

   J Lau replied to jae82301's topic in General Students

   Infection control and skin integrity are definitely good answers. I know that my instructors would be impressed if I also mentioned something about the patient's dignity or body image. They love stuff like that.
